    I am new Tacoma owner 2007, I recently had some medical issues/bills so I downsized from an f150, worked on BMW, Ford, Toyota dealership, it was a while ago (late '80's early 90's). I have an ASE master-certification in medium/heavy duty truck that has expired, so definately mechanically knowledgeable and have fabed and done R&D work for a few implement companies, so I have used several items for fabbing metal, hydraulics and some electrical and plumbing as some chemical sprayers and liquid fertilizer applicators (that varied rate on-the-go, so some computer knowledge as well)I have experience in many things so not afraid of much, my thought somebody put it together at the factory that only knew one thing, so I can disassemble it.
