    I ended up using a sticker scraper today to do the other side. Took 1/4 of the time. I figured it woulda been an easier task after reading other posts here. Guess mine was just baked on.

    Installed front coilovers which should've took me two hours at most but wanted to get UCAs on but then the uca bolt.... never got to install it. How dissappointing.

    My 19 year old back gets a bit scrunched working on the main car, I think working on the Tacoma would counteract that (hopefully)? :notsure:

    I installed some Cali-Raised Bed Stiffeners. I did not research if they would work with a bedside first (which I would like to try at some point) so I am going to need to do some chop chop to get it to work lol :sawzall:

    I thought about that but it would mean drilling more holes, unless the Total Chaos ones have the same bolt pattern. I just got a plasma cutter so I may just give that a shot. Do you know if the bolt pattern is the same for different stiffeners? My guess is no…

    Like others have said, with proper maintenance, it'd be very weird for it to not hit 200k or even 250k. Unfortunately for me, the previous owner decided he didn't like changing the oil too often so there was some carbon buildup that I didn't see until i had to replace the valve cover gaskets. It crapped out right at about 195k and I now have a remanufactured engine with a 2 year 20k mile warranty.
