    Same in large cities here on the east coast. Some of it probably goes to buy more drugs.

    Hopefully it's enough to put their lights out forever.

    Pretty sure this is the same stuff they carry at autozone.

    We had to repair a company truck recently because we had the same thing happen.

    The stuff held good. Just make sure to clean the surrounding area really well and maybe scuff it up so the putty will stick better.

    Also I'm not sure what Toyota wants for a replacement tank but I've got a spare gas tank in my shop from an 2006 Tacoma. I'll sell it to you for cheap if you're interested.

    I just patched the plastic fuel tank on my Polaris Ranger, I used a JB Weld plastic tank kit, it came with a little bit of sanding cloth, a mesh for large holes, and it worked great, no leaks, and has held up for a year.

    Man i would be furious and probably looking to seek vengeance on every crackhead in my path.
    Not that it would be a wise decision but hey, I'm emotional.

    Has anyone thought about adding rear wheel well liners and adding a piece of 1/4" hardened steel on the inside to slow down the drilling process?
