    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I work at Home Depot, we wouldn't allow it because getting a forklift and using it requires two people and you have to mark it all down. But the guys at Lowe's might lend you a hand if you can find one that will listen to you and knows how to operate the forklift. :rolleyes:

    A good cheap anti chafe sleeve can be had at outdoor stores for pennies per foot. It is 1" nylon strap used by rock climpers for various things. It is actually a tube shape ironed flat. It slides easily back and forth on 3/8" line. I used the liquid plastidip as an end treatment after fusing the fibers with a flame.
    As for heat, Technora line has a very high heat tolerance and a bunch of other benefits, it's used for the parachute shrouds on the Mars landers.

    This past weekend was productive. I replaced my radiator, both upper and lower hoses, and installed my 170 degree thermostat. While the radiator was off, I completely flushed the block with distilled water. After everything was back together, I filled the system with the Toyota pink coolant (pre mixed).

    Really, I'm serious. That's exactly what I'm looking for. Materials cost and your labor, name it. Send me a pm if you're interested in doing it.

    Put light tabs on my rear bumper, all the credit goes to juanstaco for his awesome welding skills. Then pulled the little led lights off my front bumper and wired them up on the back, now I have reverse lights again!
