So these correct ??

 

Yeah, same thing.

 

Cool man thanks

 

Buy two keys for these as they have a reputation for splitting open when a lot of force is applied to them. Just keep the two keys in your truck and an extra lug nut and you shouldn't have to worry about being stranded anywhere with these lug nuts!

 

Will do man! By keys you mean the spline socket correct?

 

Yes.

 

I swear to god this shit must be in my head but after putting in the

$25 bg 44k fuel system cleaner power enhancer 11oz.

bg 44k the truck runs even better. The slightest touch to the skinny pedal gets the truck moving in an instant. Radiator and cooling system are next.

I typically drive in the 20-30% throttle range but the ultragauge was showing 15% getting up to 40 mph

 

Got cold feet out working on tacomas

 

Two years ago when I scored my low mileage gen one, I decided that I didn't really need a $400+ double-din after market head with backup camera etc so I instead saved some bucks and settled for a plenty good enough Kenwood single din. Last week at Lowes, a gal more interested in rummaging through her purse than watching her probably 3 year old kid nearly cost us both dearly. Generally, if you are backing up, it's your fault period no matter who was really at fault but I didn't even know there was a 3 year old kid and MOM was more than 3 cars away. The kid apparently just took off running for the store and was right behind me before I even knew it. He apparently flashed past my right mirror while I was looking at the left and we all know the center mirror is pretty worthless beyond perhaps seeing a car coming out behind you . . . not a 3 year old kid no higher than your rear bumper. Had I had the tunes cranked though which I sometimes do . . . it would have been all over. Heard the kid scream . . .

Anyway, just for piece of mind [and realizing I had $189 of Amazon bucks to spend anyway], I picked up one of these . . .

And, one of these . . .

Hope someone finds thinking about this worthwhile . . . I don't scare or shake up very easily and that has almost left a permanent knot in my throat.

Now, when I gut my dash again, if I can just get that freakin' dash drone fixed for good this time . . .

 

At least she wasn't texting or having a conversation on her phone - that bugs me to no end. Glad everyone was alright.

 

I hate it when people do not pay attention... it has ben nearly 2 years since a guy hit me and drove off... I still have problems in my left arm from it.

 

Not sure someone already answered but you SHOULD NOT use that style nut with factory wheels.

 

So im curious what brand fuel filter you guys swapping with?

 

I got an Autozone filter, maybe not the finest choice but usually filter products are built by one of three companies all of which are decent.
