That shit gets so hot it still sometimes rusts solid. And stainless galls if you don't get super high grade which is expensive, ARP charges out the ass for exhaust studs. I've been using regular steel studs lately with the copper coated nuts, works well so far. Haven't tried it on a lower bolt yet tho.

 

I'm going to try making a storage setup for the back of my camry since throwing a jack tools and spare tire in the back is a shitty solution

 

Are you like me where my stereo has to be turned up either by multiples of 2 or 5?

 

Yesss

 

Fuck long day but we made 5 out of 6 car deals today with me running the desk.

Really good considering its been slow AF.

Made a 6th actually but that one gets delivered tomorrow.

 

So theoretically, DC bed are the same as long beds minus like a foot or so in the front, right? So this dog box should fit in the back part of the bed and hopefully leave enough room for a tool box in the front, right?

 

Difference is a little over a foot. So depends on how big your tool box is. Double cab bed is 61.2", xtra cab is 74.4

 

It’ll be close, definitely need to find another box that opens from the side

 

How does that fit around the wheel wells, if it goes around them you might have issues not being able to push the box against the back wall

 

Little anti-seize and it will slip right in.

 

That’s what I’m hoping for

 

I'm starting to think you keep a tube of anti-seize on your night stand

 

No, I don't want to wake up silver.

 

Looked over my buddy's ~2011 with 48K miles. Brake fluid was really low but I didn't find a leak. Topped off to see how quickly it's dropping I guess. Other than that the truck is doing pretty good.

 

I've had that happen as well.. then you peel that biatch like a tuna can until you've exposed the offending steel sleeve and chisel it off with a punch in an oil return hole.
We both know how difficult i like to be

Something like this ya know?





No but seriously ill use a rubber strap wrench.. so I guess thats a type of filter wrench huh?

 

You can have my take offs from the middle of my LCA rebuild im doing. I'm not going to reuse em.

Lemme know and I can send em UPS tomorrow at work

 

As pads wear fluid has to fill the cylinder for the caliper pistons, it's normal

 

Get the ones off an 01 or 02 4runner theyre squishy and nowhere near as harsh compared to the tacoma ones that may as well be steel

Big improvement for something that can be had for 5 bucks or 5 finger discount from a pick n pull

I know the 02 tacoma I recently worked on, my 95 Tacoma and 98 4r had the hard bumpstops

 

Its not filter specific but they are damn handy to have around.

The oil filter wrenches are normally a super thin sheet metal strap
