    No its a full sized box, came from H&H Home & Truck Accessory. It has about four inches of space under it and has never got in the way, Yes its weather proof so far, all of my tools, air compressor and recovery gear fit in it, it was a gift so the price was good for me.

    Forgot to post last weekend that we got my bedside repaired, fiberglass had some damage from shipping, not too bad, but our first attempt at fixing didn't hold up. Tried again with some other stuff and it turned out great. Quite the pain in the butt getting the holes lined back up to the bed :laughing:

    No pic of the bed but I set my front fenders back on just to stare at it lol. Should be making more progress on it at the end of next week.

    Just changed my U-Joints. It wasn't as tough as I was expecting. I just dropped the whole drive shaft and did one end at a time. I used the balljoint press from advanced auto. It was a little tough to keep the press oriented correctly since the yolks are not flat. I also had to file some edges to get rid of burs.

    It eliminated a driveline noise that I have had for a long time. There was no noticeable play in the joints before removing them, but once I had the whole shaft out I could tell there were some rough spots in the bearings. Shifting from D to R is move smoother now and less jerky.

    Can anyone give me the part number for the spark plug tube gaskets? I'm not sure what they're called and I'm having no luck on the camelback Web site.

    TIA

    That's a TG rear bumper right?

    Did you have to remove the bumper to move the shackle bolt? I've got my bolts facing the other way so I can adjust them without having to remove the bumper.

    Finally wired up my winch tonight. Now I know why everyone says to do it before installing the ARB font bumper, it was a total PITA...

    If you haven't bought the valve cover gaskets yet, just buy the Stone gasket kit on Amazon. It's made in Japan and comes with all the stuff needed minus the FIPG sealer. It's also a lot cheaper than Toyotas piece meal deal

    Let it beat me up again. Lower control arm bolt is fused to Coil Over adapter and will not come out. Ground off bolt head to punch it through other way and no dice. Going to try and get sawzall in there tomorrow, if that doesn't work LCA is coming off with CO for rebuild.

    If it makes you feel better I had to use the cutoff wheel to remove the tie rod jam nuts a few weeks ago. Rust is a PITA

    Yes it is a Trail Gear but the bolts will go in from either side, without removing the bumper.

    Cleaned MAF and checked for something obvious to cause a drop to 9 mpg. No luck

    I've done a mod or two
    I've been working on an 82 Chevy S-10 the last three days so all I've done is drive my Taco for a few minutes. Been fun to work on a carb'd vehicle for a change though. Nothing like a little Bernoulli effect to get the fuel flowin.... :wink: Should be business as usual now that my buddy and I have that thing sorted out so back to the Taco. Gonna hit up the local ORV tomorrow to test everything an make sure the Taco is happy.
