    I used 1 can to do those cat areas....most of it sprayed on the inside through the various holes on both sides of the frame. Then I spray a little on the outside and spread it around with a glove on.

    Now come winter time...I'm closer to 3 cans. In addition to the cat areas I also do the leaf springs and bottom of the c-channel down either side of the frame.

    I also give the intermediate shaft u-joint a couple of squirts at each oil change

    I really like the Liquid Wrench rust inhibitor

    My beautiful wife got a fantastic birthday present. A bit of overkill for a Tacoma but if I ever get another 1 ton truck I'm set.
    Old vs new.

    Makes easy short work on the truck. Wish I'd of had it a couple weeks ago when I replaced my rear springs.

    Nice jack! Those larger wheels on the new jack look way easier to move it around vs the typical.

    Yeah they are a lot easier to work with. In fact the jack started to roll out of my garage unattended due to the very slight slope. It's just a little harder to slide in to position under the vehicle, but not by much. I'm not complaining at all though.

    The subie kids have been doing it for years (speaking from past experience). I’m not surprised that it transferred over to the Tacoma scene.

    Nice!
    Did you use an aftermarket wiring harness to get more power or just splice into the existing wire?

    They have been just about flawless since I got them. I have had to adjust 1 beam a few times, but I think it’s how the housing is mounted, just slight movement up and down. I’d buy from them again for sure, amazing quality!

    That's pretty much it. They're just blacked out on the inside with the projectors, everything else is like a stock light.
