    Fuck yea...I replaced the uca one with removal of bolt c clip and reinstallation in like 10-13 mins tops.

    No need to remove any suspension

    Now we can all replace these things a little faster if needed

    This happened yesterday, but I derpped and rotated the wheels, plastic steps on the inside of the doors, and painted the center console. When I took the wheels off I went ahead and removed any corrosion on the hubs and added some antiseize compound. Gave her a quick shower too.

    Not today, but this past weekend. Installed ambiguous retrofits. Gotta decide now if yellow or smoked film on foglights...

    Yeah, there is just too much gray in the truck. I don't know who the interior designer was, but they are too conservative. ;) Black and gray for me.

    Lol, so I've heard ... but the dealership I go to has an extremely high rated service department.

    Besides, I've got lawyers in the family should anything go wrong and I wouldn't mind owning a Toyota dealership. :D

    Replaced my solid Tacoma immobilizer assembly with a 5th gen 4Runners, now just need to figure out how to get it to light up. I hoped it would be plug and play for the LED but is not the case so far.

    I did my first spark plug change. The step by step tutorial here gave me all the info I needed. Thanks!

    Did that a while back. Hot too hard, just time consuming. And that coil on the front driver's side cylinder (cylinder #2, maybe?) is a royal pain in the ass to get out. :mad:

    I'll have to do it again soon. 60K mile maintenance will be here in a few months.

    Getting the wiring harness off of #2 coil was a PITA, everything else was pretty painless for me. With a nice 72 degree day here in OKC, I was glad to be outside.
