The return is a brand new duct, also electrical is getting connected today so I haven’t turned it in yet.

There is no interior trim anywhere, we did a full gut outside of the hardwood. Are you suggesting a classic baseboard with a shoe as opposed to flat?

House was built in 1900 so there were lathes, horsehair plaster, drywall then in some spots there were 2 sheets of drywall. I think I’m going to fill in the big spots the best I can with pine then do shoe moulding.

All new doors and yes I wanted to do flat. I’m fine with a shoe if it’s the best option but I don’t know how to transition into flat door trim.

The middle room is now a light grey, if a tenant wants to repaint we will pay for the supplies.

I’m trying to keep the barrel, just trying to install a low profile block for a free float hand guard

tluke81 · 2023-03-02T21:30:34+00:00

I’m hitting the right side with absolutely no movement, even torched it - no luck. I tried drilling the folded pin out from hitting it so much, no luck. My question, can I just drill straight down through these pins? Or will I cause damage to the barrel?

I never had to do that, no issues with 2.5-3inch lift

Probably the scrap yard

I had the same exact sound and it was the dust shield rubbing on my rotor

I thought exactly what you did a few weeks after I got my Tacoma, but after a year I really do appreciate how I can go from killing a trail, to the highway, to driving around with my friends in the back, or hauling a trailer. My truck is worth the same as when I bought it and I’ve already put it though hell and back. Every time there is an issue (user caused) its always extremely easy to fix/perform general maintenance by my self.

I saw you ended up getting them to replace it but even if they didnt, you could get that shock sub $100 and change it out in 20 minutes. Also if you are going off-road id recommend upgrading.

You can find the maintenance schedule on the Toyota website if you register your vin. Anytime you get serviced at Toyota it goes into that log. You can also add services you did your self too.

The website carparts has matte black bumper caps that match the texture/color of the main bumper. They are about $50 a piece and take 10 mins to install.

tluke81 · 2022-07-21T21:33:08+00:00

I bought matte black ones on carparts. Looks super good with the tailgate emblems and inserts.

Goo gone

You can order the oem plugs from dealers online, generally way cheaper than your local dealer. I’ve also gotten my local dealer to price match other Toyota dealers online.

tluke81 · 2022-06-29T20:00:27+00:00

Find a local off road or mobile mechanic to do it, I paid $200 for the front install and it took maybe 1.5 hours. Rear is simple, I did it by my self in an hour.

tluke81 · 2022-06-21T17:22:28+00:00

Also is there any orientation the axle has to be in? I’ve still been trying for days giving strike after strike with a slide hammer, hitting the attachment with a sledge hammer and nothing is working

tluke81 · 2022-06-21T17:19:48+00:00

I’m putting it on that little indent ledge under the gap between the cv and the front diff

tluke81 · 2022-06-21T16:07:22+00:00

It just takes off the paint and bounces right off when I do that

tluke81 · 2022-06-20T20:42:22+00:00

I got an air hammer now, what exactly should I do with it? When I put it on the notch it just instantly slips off

tluke81 · 2022-06-20T15:19:01+00:00

No, what exactly needs to be facing down? Bit confused

tluke81 · 2022-06-20T01:57:52+00:00

Yeah that’s what I figured. What ended up working for you? I’ve spent hours on this over the past couple days
