    Good luck. Normally I'd be half way there but my trucks missing a few things at the moment...

    Have you tried "Toyota Tacoma enthusiasts" or "toyotaholics" on Facebook? There's a pretty big PNW following on those. Sorry I can't be much more help.

    Dig, dig and dig some more, until you have all the snow cleared away. Clear out a runway in the direction you are going and pedal to the metal. I'd help you if I was near...

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I'm so confused by this, why's there a trans on an engine stand missing a rear output, and another just on the floor. The front end is apart too, there's welders and cutter scattered about. Did he just decide he didn't like everything about the truck and take it apart?

    Too much going on at once and parts not arriving LL at once. New rack and pinion, calipers and rotors, f/r gear swap and also fj tcase install. There's also a 2017 power rear window install in there and other misc non essential stuff.

    mixture of both, as a friend of his i get the privilege of have access to spare spare parts (like the front diff), the downside is that when his truck is running I’m essentially waiting for the “I’m stuck” call
