    Thanks. I wasn’t even thinking about tie rods. Duh. I will swap the rack, the inner and outer tie rods at the same time. I also saw a cracking but intact CV boot. This truck is endless projects

    The foam tape that wouldn't hold left behind so much residue I figured, in for a dime, in for a dollar. I took apart the armrest, applied a fair amount of gorilla glue and applied constant pressure for maybe 10 minutes. Now it's rock solid with no visible damage.:benchpress:

    Today I did something really special. I got polyurethane all over the back half of my truck, on my expensive cell phone, on my expensive shades, all over my tools, and all over myself. As I was driving home I was getting really nervous and started driving like a mad man (more of a mad man than normal lol). My eyelids were getting extremely sticky. Took a shower when I got home with paint thinner, then oxy clean on a washcloth, then Ivory, and then every foo foo smelling stuff my wife had in the shower. I smell like a flower bed in the middle of a paint booth.

    So that is what I did to my Tacoma today, I applied a shiny coat.

    Finished building and installing my Bussmann and adding LED fog lights and switched to a shorter antenna. Radio reception is garbage with it. Its the one on the caliraisedLED site. Anyone have any other suggestions? Doesn't need to be super short. Just shorter than the cab.
