    Hey Adam just do the brakes your self. Is it just the drums out back or do the front need changing?
    I would stay away from just rapes. When I worked at Oreillys in high school the guys at the local just rapes were super shady.

    Toytec ultimate lift kit, light racing UCAs, ARB bumper and full skid plates underneath. Looking into redoing the suspension and maybe repainting the ol' Taco.
    A blanket statement like that is false. It is probably true that some folks that went to college are making less than before the recession. As with the commercial construction industry there was a substantial correction in the market for new hires. Starting salaries dropped by between 5-10%. But, the starting pay for our new hires (who must be college grads) is substantially higher than minimum wage or even that of our subcontractor's starting positions (not all require college degrees).

    College was worth it for me. It is true that it cost me (not my parents) a lot of money and a whole hell of a lot of time. But, the doors that it opened for me and the oppertunities that are there because of having a degree are obvious to me now more so than while I was in school.

    I get paid roughly 2 times what I would if I didn't have my masters. And we don't hire anyone who doesn't have at least a bachelors degree in the first place.

    So it's definitely a case by case situation.

    Lake Conroe. I build aluminum boat trailers and have started designing a contraption to get boats like these out of the boat houses. I figure $1000 per boat and could knock out 15 to 20 a day... See how it goes. The boat next to the one in the pic is an 09 malibu wake setter. That sux

    I have never changed drum brakes but don't see it being too hard. I do know that you want to do one side at a time so you have a side to refer back to while assembling the new stuff.
    Does Haynes or Chilton make a manual for the 05+ taco?
    If not I am sure the drums would be the same concept as previous years. You also might want to ask about this on TOR to see if someone there has more info on it.
