Got into an accident today when someone decided to fail to yield and turn through the intersection. Slider and rear tire took the hit and damn near flipped the truck. Curious to see how the frame is.

Just saw your Instagram post. Hope it all works out. I was in an accident a year ago and I'm still trying to figure out weird pops, clunks, and squeaks that weren't there before.

I had Bestbuy install the Pioneer DMH-W4660NEX on my 09 Tacoma, they also installed a mic which I'm not happy about the quality at all. People keep complaining about not hearing me loud. I had the mic installed next to rear view mirror. Do you guys have suggestion about the mic?
The other issue I have with the receiver is that as soon as the Android car connects, the "do not disturb" function on my pixel6 turns on, so basically nobody can call me unless I every time maually turn it off.

Well after struggling the other day for 4 hours to fail and remove ONE of my two rear drums to do a rear brake job...A local shop did them for me...He chuckled when he imagined me in the driveway removing either drum. He said they had to use a puller and a pry bar...They also lubed up and tightened the E-brake (manual transmission) it went from 11 clicks to engage to 5-6. I might not need to replace the cable for now...
Wheel cylinders were still good. Pads were ORIGINAL and still would have been good for years but in order to fix/lube the E-brake mechanism (kept sticking) the drums had to come off and since they were coming off...replace everything.
$315 and 3 hours. I provided all the parts.
