    I’m finally going to get around to installing my bumper light bar today. Located in Deep Creek if anyone wants to watch and learn from my mistakes.

    I have no clue what I am going for here but I am sure if I keep taking things apart it will start to make sense.

    Anybody have stock first gen shocks laying around that still have some life in them? Mine are completely shot and it makes driving at speed around here pretty interesting.

    Thanks!

    Alright, got some troubleshooting for you guys..... my 2012 Tacoma won’t turn over it will sit and crank forever but won’t turn, it sounds as though it is cranking extra fast/hard. Any ideas?

    Is it getting gas?
    Can you hear the pump going when you first turn the key before cranking?

    I don’t believe that it is, we were doing some electrical on the truck, and started it after we got the air compressor installed and it started no problem. Did a little bit more wiring, took a break for food, then a long crank with not turn over. We jumped it because we thought it could be the battery but no luck.

    We checked all the fuses and they are good.

    Is there a fuel pump relay. Would be odd if it went out but you never know.
