    When I was waiting for my 10" shocks I ran mine with no rear shocks for a week. Was fine with some weight back there.

    Productive day today:
    Ordered some rust bullet and started putting a wire wheel to my underbody rust. Gotta get all that off, and get it sealed up before the utah winter. Also started doing the cutting for my satoshi. Just finished cutting out the main inner part of the grill, just gotta smooth out the edges and start sanding.

    And last but not least...got in all the parts for my lift! 5100s, eibachs, and dakars, with all the little odds and ends as well. Except for some reason the rear shocks got left off the order. Gotta give wheelers a call. At any rate, the truck should have a lift, satoshi, and a rust free (or something close to it) frame all within the next couple weeks!

    ...too much shit to list.
    Nice!
    Make sure to stake the screws and use red locktite. Definitely don't want them coming loose.

    Looks obvious to me. Short shifter.

    :D standard FTW.

    See below \/

    I did both! They aren't coming off unless I'm the one removing it!

    I was considering JB welding it but I figured I'd make it removable on the offhand chance that I want to take it off :p

    Haha I probably need to do timing belt.. I've had it since 220k, and idk if the po did the timing belt? I didn't know much about Tacomas when I got it so didn't think to ask. She still runs like a scalded dog though

    Haha weird, I bought mine at 222k. The only thing I've done to it is rear main seal and valve cover gaskets. It runs like a champ so I'm not gonna touch it till I have to.

    Same for me lol. I've done valve cover gaskets and my rear main is leaking also just barely.. I've just been keeping an eye on the oil level until I can afford to get it fixed.
