    Toyota was nice enough to give me a new frame. JBA cat-back, aFe dry drop-in w/ deckplate, Bilstein 5100's all around, Timbrens, Alcan 5-leaf packs, OME 881's, linear clutch pedal return spring (best $3.49 I ever spent)
    Just solved years of clutch pedal squeaks with a linear spring mod. I also finally lubed the e-brake return spring that's been keeping my brake light on, switched to synthetic oil and did a deck plate mod. Wiped the pollen off the dash and it's like a new truck! The new 5100's, 5-leaf rear springs and OME 881's help a bit there as well! It's been a good month...

    Can you tell me where you got your Linear Spring? I'm about to do this. Is it hard to do?

    Easy skeezy. took all of about ten minutes. I got the spring at True Value. It's not a #70 that some repair threads identify. This one was a #118 I think. It looks like the brake pedal return spring. As long as its 5 to 5.5 inches long and less than .5 inches wide with hooks on either end it should work. I needed to reshape the hooks a bit to get it to work. There are several threads out there with good instructions. Hardest thing is getting used to a working pedal after having driven it for several years lifting the clutch pedal up with my foot each shift. Good luck!

    true, but this ash is from the massive forest fire in AZ.

    Scion XB Seats. TacoDell is 5'10" has no problems off-roading. I am 5'8", also no problems. I have maybe 3-4" till hitting the roof. Also note the seat can be leaned back so you can get a few inches out of that.
