    Metal contracts when cold. Shrinks the extractor before trying to remove.

    Close to where they meet. The cold transferring from the vise grips should cause the extractor to contract enough to free it up.

    Just makes it contract. Like your suggestion too. Something else for the arsenal. :thumbsup:

    A few, mainly added skids. I like leaving the suspension alone. I drive forest service dirt roafs in the desert west extremely extremely too fast. Toyota nailed this suspension going 65 across desert terrain. Changing it is dumb unless you have a specific need like crawling or mud.
    Another lost soul brought back to the to the
    TOYOTA Ranch. (Name pending)

    She drives great. Has serious gear reduction in the rear end. Can't wait to see what the ratio is. Wife is going to compete this build. She's doing the vintage yellow.

    How funny. Toyota came full circle. This truck was a color almost solar octane in 1980.. just look at the door trim and engine bay.

    Yes that's an old fashioned carburetor

    It was 80 and sunny in Fun City. Took advantage of the weather and washed, clayed, washed, and waxed.

    With the warm weather, took a ride to Flagpole Knob and Reddish Knob here in VA. Flagpole was a good time, nothing too crazy. Too tough I guess for a couple Jeepers, they turned around before the top. Very dry though, makes for an easy clean up. Reddish Knob had better views, all paved road. Even ran into another Tacoma.

    IMG_0628.jpg IMG_0636.jpg IMG_0633.jpg RCI sliders. Flew solo with a floor jack & 2x4. Regarding the two common troublespots: 1) Pre-threaded the bolts to ensure they would thread smoothly. Then used painters tape to hold the ‘support bracket frame inserts’ in place and they held enough to get threads started. 2) No good tricks for the forward-most-inner-frame bolts. I did drop a nut and used a grabber tool with a magnet heavily taped on the end to fish it out. All in all not bad but be patient with yourself. I thought the jack approach worked fine - but having a friend can still be good to help avoid potential stupid moves.

    Hey like those seat covers! So many out there would like to know how comfortable they are and if they are worth it. Did the ol check the transmission fluid and found it was a 1/2 qrt low! Fixed that after much studying.
    Then messed around with a scrap piece of leather and did this to my handbrake, popped the cap on an adult beverage kicked back. IMG_8304.jpg

    I’m not sure you noticed this but you can’t get that piece of the center console out of the truck without removing the additional leather on the hand brake. There are a couple mods, like the larger cup holders, that require that.

    Unplugged the PRO shifter button ECT mod. Reinstalled the original ECT button location. Truck is tuned so I don’t really need to activate it on the fly.
    I kept hitting it when I drive. I’ve driven MT all my life, so I grab my stick majority of the time.

    Make sure you trash the center cap and get a better one. The center cap that comes with those wheels sticks out far and looks funny.

    I grabbed these. For my methods...
