What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Always a geek for these occurences...

 

Remember to alternate arms.

 

quote "Concurred. I have no problem with the prop rod."
When you're 70+ with arthritis and old sports injuries, the struts are welcomed. Walk a mile ....
Your time will come.

 

ok noted, but the problem that might happen if the shocks open but wont close or freeze up and bend some part of it, then you cant close your hood, and they are held on with one bolt and apiece of tape? c'mon......i remember all those gm cars of the 80's with them

 

uhh
my post was not referring to that

 

whoever has the Meso puddle lights any issues with them? Im thinking about actually getting back into modding my taco and theyre on my list. i assume now issues but curious

 

It’s nice to have these clips on hand just in case you lose one during the install:

Will it? Arthritis can be managed with resistance training.

Ask me how I know.

 

I guess the update has a bad history with Canadian immigration and they won't let it come over the border.

 

I read that too (even though I didn't install the MESO). It's a #3 Philips. Sure, a #2 will fit in the head but it is a #3 head (at least on my truck) and the wrong size screwdriver will just strip it.

 

One other thing, I am more than able to lift the hood and use the prop rod. I empathize with your condition, but “Your time will come “ is purely evil and sadistic.

So……

 

It seems that in the last few months "my time" has been knocking on my door. I haven't let it in yet but it's very persistent and I'm afraid @canuck guy is right.

 

Thanks for confirming. I remembered it being a #3 and thought checking MESO’s instructions would steer me the right way.

 

@canuck guy is only partially right. If you just give in then it will absolutely fuck you up, but if you take steps to slow it or alleviate it, hence resistance training, you can be more effective in delaying its progress.

Not everyone will be affected by it, so to say “your time will come “ is almost the same as saying you wish upon others so they should suffer as you suffer.

 

Great grandpa was still woodworking and self sufficient up till his passing at 101.
Age hits everyone different, and definitely agree that slowing down and accepting becoming decrepit as an inevitability hastens the end

 

OK I must be an idiot because I have never heard of that device. My Tacoma and ZR2 wheels are heavy as feck and to get one on or off I have to sit on the floor, straddle the wheel and lift it up with my knees. It was a bitch 24 years ago and it's a double bitch now with 2 trucks.

What brand do you have? I see there are lots of choices and I want one that works.

It’s gained some sort of Canadien attitude since arriving from Texas 3 years ago. Lol…..

 

Impact wrench for the screw holding the little hook. Nice!

And crowbar to remove the gas cap?

 

And this is why you cannot be trusted with nice things.

 

Or it's the most cost-effective, in an effort to keep the overall cost of the vehicle competitive.

Myself I find it ironic that there's been almost a page worth of post on prop vs struts. I swear one of these days I'm going to open up TW to find a thread on who's favorite color is better.
