    So after replacing the intermediate steering shaft yesterday, my wheel was a little bit to the right while driving in a straight line. Luckily the fix was easy.

    On the lower portion of the shaft that goes into the steering rack, I marked it’s current spot as a reference point. Then I unbolted it, and moved it one spline over. Drives nice and straight now and took all of 15 minutes.

    But that's not what we talk about haha the worn piece would be hidden by the rubber boot in the picture, right at the bottom of the black stick shift, joining the stick to the shaft that goes into the transmission

    I like the truck in #4, but the background in #1, but want KORE in my font.

    Like 4 the most.

    3 might be easier to make into a nice decal tho.

    Your only the second persons who's liked #3. I do like how the "4x4" is tucked under the points at the bottom of the other letters.

    But if that is worn out it still causes a loose shifter just a different way of going about the same thing. I have not taken the shifter apart on one of these trucks so that is why I was asking if the taco had that.

    Yeah, a direct vent gas. (Which we wanted to begin with but had talked ourselves out of when we started shopping.) We looked at the electric ones too, but we wanted some heating out of it too. Our sales guy said all the electric they carried (regardless of size) had the same heating element and blower which was only equivalent to about 5000 btu. He said they would heat a small office, but not a large family room like we are putting it in. This one is 28,000 btu and has ceramic glass and a blower so it puts out a lot of heat!

    I also spoiled myself and upgraded the control. I can control it via Bluetooth with my phone!o_O:spending:

    #4 would be hellish to embroider if you’re gonna do patches in the future.

    These are some of the details that you’ll need to think of for marketing purposes.

    I vote 4...and if you need it embroidered on anything I know someone (my mother in law) that would give you a really fair price and quality product. Most places charge a $75-100 set up fee. She doesn't. Just the cost to digitize the image and then each embroidered item after that. Ends up saving you quite a bit.

    Agreed...hadnt thought of that. The fine detail in the truck would be a biotch!

    Yeah I like the truck in 4. Actually all of 4. I don't like 3 because the truck is halfway gone.
