    Grabed from elsewhere....for later use.

    Resetting the "Maintenance Required" light on 2005+ Tacoma:
    1. Turn ignition key to 'ON' and press the odometer button until the display reads actual mileage... not Trip A or B.
    2. Turn ignition key to OFF.
    3. Hold in the same button you used in step 1.
    4. While holding the button in, turn ignition key to 'ON'.
    5. The 'Maint Reqd' light should blink and go out!

    Thanks man. There will be some updates next week when I tear into the front end to fix the motor mounts.

    Your rig is looking great too.

    Nope not a single thing. Haven't heard from Toyota, or the dealership, the insurance refused to pay or do anything to help. So the truck is getting torn down on Tues and everything is going to get fixed and gussets.

    Front diff dropped and getting ready to weld:

    IMG_6386_zps938ddd88_ffd827eca9d957b546a12fd0abd48c83081c5808.jpg

    Wind kicked up and we had to build a skirt around the truck:

    IMG_6387_zpsa7f0eb10_9ff7d6ae505dd21a3a3834ca1124cb17074de905.jpg

    After several iterations we wound up with a nice truck fort:

    The motor mount all welded up:

    Took about 7 hours and went smoothly. A good day.

    Nope. Didn't have a chance, it was getting dark and had to run inside to help with the kiddos. Tomorrow will be testing day.
