    Wow, that's really shitty for a 19-yo vehicle.

    Upper arms snapped twice? Sounds like you need to make an upgrade from homemade

    Thank you for this. I am going to do this tomorrow. My '94 Pickup had the same problem. The light on the dash has never bothered me, I just get tired of people always telling me, "Hey your e-brake is still on".

    I had to fix the clock - cheap, and did an unnecessary overhaul because previous mechanic screwed up. My exhaust manifold is also cracked. Not bad for that much time and miles. Now I gotta get to 300K.

    With all due respect why in hell are you hucking you're ride like a trophy truck ?? With UCA's snapping & you say the frame took a shit seems like the only way that'd happen is if the truck is being driven in a manner it shouldn't be the way its setup now. TC kit or not driving habits are going to dictate how well it holds up....& yeah I offroad from time to time

    I'd drive it until right before the wheels fall off. Having the wheels fall off is sort of embarrassing.

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    Mine has 93k and I've had it for the past 20k of that, only thing I've had to replace is the front brake pads. I need to do the timing belt and water pump though, just no time or money to have it done. Probably going to have to wait until spring now, can't be without my truck in the winter.
