    I won't be pulling off the dryer plug, I'd be disconnecting the wiring from the circuit in the garage and running new wiring for a Weld plug in the garage...

    Cool! May as well do it right and run a 50 amp circuit.
    You probably already know this, but make sure you match your breaker to your wiring and receptacle.

    anyone have factory steps? the slimmer low profile ones? Don't have sliders yet and between my wife being 5'2 and loading stuff onto my roof rack lately, It'd be easier than nothing. Lemme know!

    Gap is good. Installed all this in February and did it correct the first time.

    I just installed the knock sensor and a new wire harness the other day with Greg.

    How old is your battery? On TN, I've seen a lot (and I mean a lot!) of weird stuff happen when a battery is going out. We even had one Tacoma throw the P0330 code and had a rough idle until he replaced his battery. Then the code went away and it idled good after that (he reported back after a month and all was still good). So there's another possible culprit.

    That's wierd. I believe it's 3 years old.
    Interstate MTP 24F. It's the style of battery I've been running for years.

    I'm also thinking MAF not reading air volume or temperate correctly. But my ultra gauge shows air temp is normal (few deg above outside temps). No clue about air flow

    Spotted in Roseville. Badgeless Tacoma.
    I don't know if they are on here, but I was curious what lift kit he was running, or about what height the kit is. I'm guessing 4". But I was wondering if it was maybe the maxtrac spindle lift, and if that's how the spindle lift sits at ride height? The rear was imo the perfect height, but I think the front could come up about an inch.

    I saw a few negative Tacoma reviews comparing to the Colorado. Pissin me off because my dad's retiring and asking me advice on a midsize truck and he's in between the taco and the Colorado. I keep telling him to look at how badly I abuse my truck and have next to zero problems and imagine if he kept his stock how long it would last him! The truck reviews seem biased towards the Colorado imo. All the problems I've had with my truck can be attributed to rocks... Big rocks... Lol
