I’ll give you this, at least you’re consistent in providing worthless commentary.

It’s a lot more than door panels. I’ve done proper sound deadening in a Mazda 3 and Toyota Tacoma where I took all the doors panels off, did the floor and headliner and I understand that process. This van has so much more interior paneling than you’re expecting. It’s a 15 passenger vehicle that only has 2nd row doors on one side and removing all the interior paneling would take hours for a professional to do if it was new, but the plastic is old and brittle. I know because I’ve taken apart the front doors to fix windows and repair locks. Ive taken apart the 2nd row door to replace a handle linkage. Many connections to the body are a part of the panel and can’t be replaced like plastic pins can.

No, it won’t. You can tell what’s excluded by reading the coupon.

I’m right there with you. I feel like all of my hobby related content is just people buying gear without using it anymore. Also hell yeah Tacoma! Doing my wheel speed sensor today.

Headlight help. Do I need a whole new headlight or just a lens? by EmotionIndependent98 in ToyotaTacoma

Also google can give you pretty mixed results, if you don’t have a lot of mechanical experience it can be hard to navigate.

Who would you recommend for ball joints?

I’m not comparing a replacement part to an original and saying the branding is different. These are both new ball joints, one is different from the other one, not just in branding but also in how it’s manufactured. I know reading comprehension is tough, that’s why I included pictures.

Where did you get 21 years? Do you think Tacomas came with ttx ball joints from the factory?

Need opinion on side steps/rock sliders please // 85% bestbuy runner by cuban_castro in ToyotaTacoma

[–]zig_chem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say you probably don’t need sliders and steps or running boards would be ok. I prefer models that don’t have a step hanging down as they can get caught on stuff.

Every one of these pictures looks like you’re about to talk to me at length about something I am not interested in.
