    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Should see how much a professional aluminum MIG machine (push/pull) setup costs. We had a fairly low spec miller one at my machine shop job that I used sometimes and it was $15k.

    Hell, the Miller 350P at my last job alone is about $11k and that doesn't include the spoolgun.

    MIG pulse is the shit though.

    I could never get used to the push pull Cobramatic setup we had at my first weld job. I mean I used it well, but I think it's because we were welding cast aluminum and that shit sucks even with preheating it.

    Valve bucket shims aren’t making it this week. :(

    I could roll the truck out into the driveway and power wash the bay I guess. Clean the cracks and crevices.

    Not going to swap to 4.56 because I can’t afford a rear 4.56 to match my truetrac front. I’d want a Harrop elocked 8.4 or OEM elcoker 8” if I did swap.

    Well, looking for that ground issue.

    20230316_145438.jpg

    Also, cleaned and made sure the connections were all good at the wiper motor since it doesn't work.

    I hear a sort of relay "click" when I turn on the rear wiper but it doesn't move at all; even if I leave it on and try to get it started by hand.

    I'm even pulling the sub and will not be reinstalling it.

    @Speedytech7 remember the nasty wiring mess I had found in my rig?

    Pulled the sub and found the trailer harness; so I guess I have one and just need to find what wire does what.

    20230316_151248.jpg

    Which is odd cause the schematic I found used a different wire set when I looked on mud.

    And I'd be all cool about it but this is the one time I've yanked all the rear interior trim and going through shit.

    I found a "loose" wire in my bulb socket after going back in there with cleaner but no effects at all and my light is still an issue.
