    I'm not going to lie, that's kind of awesome! I will definitely try this once I figure the motor mount to frame situation...Lol, you think toyota will still do that frame inspection on my 05 tacoma???

    Frame inspection... Like a state inspection or you trying to get them to replace the frame? I dont think they would replace it, especially since your not the original owner. But i have seen stranger things covered by the dealer

    No, I was kidding. The truck is too old and wasn't from up north. Frame inspections expired in 2016 based on a Google search I'm on my own with this venture.

    Yup, tho Ive never had to do it myself. I hear torque steer can be a bit sketchy on FWD only so watch yourself, otherwise no issues as others said
