    I was thouroughly impressed with my Beefed sliders. My front cross member, not so much. :)

    Skids need to happen! I'm not sure they would have saved the cross member getting whacked, but they might have spread the load a bit. There's a nice ding there now. Oops.

    Depends on the day.
    Vehicle:
    2010 Tacoma DCSB 4x4 SR5
    TKO Wheel w/ 35" BFG KM2, Volant CAI, Safari Snorkel, 3" lift, All-Pro Full Skid Underarmor, Chopped/Re-Routed FlowMaster Exhaust, CBI Moab 2.0 Front Bumper, DerpWerx High Clearance Rear Bumper, Rear Tire Swing Out, BAMF Sliders w/Kickouts, King Resi w/700# Coilovers on front, Total Chaos UCA's, King Long Travel with Resi's, Shock Hoops and King 2.5 Bump Stops, OME Dakar Leaf Springs mounted on All-Pro Shackle Flip w/ U-Bolt Flip, extended SS Brake Lines, DerpWerx Bedrack, 10# C02 Tank, Black Badges, Dual Optima Red Top's, Blue Sea 12 Fuse Block on custom Block mount, SuperWinch 9.5iSR Talon w/synthetic line, Prolink Thimble, 20" Rigid Dual Row LED Light Bar, Rigid Dually Floods, OTRATTW Switches, Cab Mount Chop, Cobra CB w/ 4' Firestik, Center Counsel Glock 23 mount (with plenty o' ammo!), Weathertechs, and plenty more mods to come!
    So while surfing the web last night I found a 4x4 1st Gen with V6 for sale. It's already lifted and has many of the trail mods already. Seller said he found water in the oil and that's why he's selling. Anyone here ever replaced a head gasket before and is it a giant PITA? And if so, what else should I watch out for when/if I look at this thing. The price is low enough, and mucho trail work is already done, so I would be comfortable putting up to 2k into the engine if necessary. Thoughts?

    So if the heads are wrapped what does it usually cost to have them milled into specs? Like I said, for the price I'm not afraid to put money into the engine, I just don't want to replace the engine.
