    He definitely mentioned the center bearing.. I have a neighborhood mechanic coming over to inspect the transmission. He will be able to show me whats going on which is nice..

    I haven't bought one yet but I like the NuCamp t@b 400.. I need to wait till the pricing goes down. They are in high demand right now.. I was looking at used ones around 15k last summer. Now they are priced around 25k..
    It's insane!!!

    You can build one of those teardrop campers on steroids yourself, just requires a trailer frame with good running gear, some angle iron and woodwork.

    You can build almost any trailer yourself with that advice and mindset but these are commercial trailers and not home made Teardrops and a huge project to try to build from scratch.

    Trust me I have been there too!

    Can be a lot of fun though for sure!

    You can save some money by not replacing the coils just because they are original. I've never replaced mine. Truck runs great. If you are experiencing issues with the ignition system, that's a good time to look at coils. I'm in the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" club when it comes to most things on the Toyotas. There are a few exceptions, like lower ball joints and timing belts.

    TRUCK UPDATE

    My truck is starting to look pretty clean!!! Probably put 20+ hours in detailing inside and out. The upholstery is much better and doesn't smell like old dog anymore!!!

    Aisin timing belt kit and plugs installed. Drain and filled the transmission and transfer case. Transmission has a new shiny mount!

    Next step is to install new shocks and coils!!!

    I used bissell spot cleaner and shampooed it twice!!! So much dirt came out! Sprayed it a few times with some lavender essential oil. Took a while for the wet upholstery smell to go away but its smells great now!

    When I sold my 2006 DC, I pulled all seats and the carpet. I soaked everything then took a scrub brush and purple power and scrubbed every stain. 95% of everything was taken out and it looked new. Even those spots on the arm rest and seat that turn black over time. Leave them sitting out in the sun for a couple days and all good, no milden smells either.

    That's nice of you to do before selling! I wish the previous owner of my truck would of done that...

    I used a scrub brush too. It was definitely needed. Spray Scrub Vacuum Repeat lol!!

    I think it does. I used it on my light colored couch and chair that my Labrador is always laying on. It hadn't been cleaned in years, but with the APC and brush it cleaned up nicely. I also use it on my plastics in the truck.
