    You should put a wheelie bar on the rear bumper and drive down the street like that.

    I flushed my brake system today, and that was some nasty shit that was in there. Looked like used motor oil! Only problem now the ABS light is still on after cleaning the speed sensor connections. ?????

    So i finished up installing the add a leafs, and the 5100's,

    I'm happy with the lift, think I will grab a toytec spring for the front and try to level it out a bit.

    Been hearing a clunking on my drivers side so I jacked it up tonight, ball joint is loose. So I signed up on toyota and nothing has been done.

    Anyone know if toyota is still replacing for free? If not is there any aftermarket slug or ?

    Depends on which one it is. They were only doing the one or the other, i dont remember if upper or lower. Being a 2001 i would imagine it has already been done unless your the original owner and didnt have it done. You can go to toyotas web site and punch in your vin and see.

    Vehicle:
    01 Gold tacoma SR5 TRD
    3" lift EIBACH coils w/ 5100's front, OME/ Dakar leaf springs w/ toytec adjustable shackles at 1.5" and 5125's out back. 33x10.5x15 KM2's Relentless DIY steel bumper.
    Installed the new head lights because my stock ones were oxidized and I couldn't find anything to actually get them clear. If any one has a product that actually cleans the "glass" of the head lights then please let me know? I kept the old ones just in case.

    The lamps I got from eBay and I figured they'd be cheap but are a pretty good replica. Who knows how long they'll last. They look good right now at least.

    One thing I couldn't figure out was getting the passenger side headlamp flush with the grill and side lamp. It sticks out just a bit more. Not too noticeable but I can see it and don't like it. That's why I wouldn't mind if I found a product that actually peels the oxidation off the glass part, so I can clean the old ones and put them back.

    Again, if anyone has a product that takes the oxidation off head lights let me know!

    Thanks!
