    Hi All,
    I have been finding lots of good info on the site. A particular thanks for the Torque spec guide.
    I used to have a 1990 22re 4x4 truck and bought the complete factory manual set from the dealer. When I bought my 2012 Tacoma I wanted to get the factory manuals for it and was told by the dealer it was not available.

    As for my user name, that is descriptive of my truck. At 7 yrs old and 103K miles the frame and running gear are just a complete rusty mess. The factory skid plates disintegrated and had to be discarded. Any disassembly requires a hot wrench and may involve breaking bolts and having to drill and tap. So far the body work is OK with no rust. I'm in Maryland and the ravages of salt brine in the winter have contributed, but Toyota really dropped the ball with providing adequate corrosion protection. They did not learn their lesson with the 1st gen Tacomas. Sorry for the rant on my first post but I'm really not happy about this.

    I'm really glad I found this site and mainly wanted to say thanks again for all of the great info here.
