    Yeah, they got me back home and even tucked it into the shop. The senior guy is a Tacoma owner and looked out for me. I gave him the details about TacomaWorld so hopefully he’ll turn up in the STL thread soon. He was training a new guy who was a “navy seal sniper.”

    don't know, we’re on top of that here in my shop and always use a torque stick to get them to 80. Will start tearing it all down Thursday as the new rotors arrive Friday. Really glad I ordered extra lugnuts when I got these or I’d be scrambling for those as well.

    Yikes, I had one come loose but caught it before it came off, wallowed out the wheel and needed new lugs, but could have been worse.

    ...yet.

    Love the Tacoma and the LandCruiser but pining for something different. Thinking allot about 40 series troop carriers lately.

    Rough idea is to sell the LandCruiser, and backtrack a bit on the Tacoma. No definitive plan yet as the cash isn’t in hand but I’m open to offers on the 77.

    I have awarded your build 172 expo points based on the v0.1 Expo Points scoring system. The score is based on what is visible in the first (and second) post of your build thread. To increase your expo points consider mounting more things to the outside of your vehicle. Also consider adding to your first post as I believe I recall seeing things in your build thread throughout the years that I was not able to score.

    Full scoring sheet is attached. If you would like to file an appeal you may do so in my build thread.
