    I used amsoil fuel efficient full synthetic; that meets WS specs as well, I think close to the same cost, but worth it in my eyes

    I love the arrows noting the twist motion of the screw driver, as well as the "click" sound effect. Excellent documentation.

    That was easy. Ground flats on the rod (thanks @Tundra2 ) to get a get good grip with the vice grips, then ratchet wrench on top and turned the vice grips. looks worse from below, but decent access through the wheel well. PXL_20210313_010618284.jpg Now to get resituated for the leaf install. Probably won't tear too much into those until tomorrow am.

    Why you put your precious hands through this I’ll never know.

    I actually went Fight Club today due to ‘Work by Feels Technique’. My Hands got greasy. Mz PHM asked to see my nails a little while ago and gasped. She said she doesn’t want me to be a ‘Greasy Finger Nail Guy’ like some of you guys here. I promised one more day of No Gloves for the No Look Technique Style.

    Secretly, I am happier without gloves and I feel back in fighting shape. Ready to take on Tyson.

    I’m not certain, but I still don’t think that’s confirmed. It looks Titan-ish and those wheels are eerily similar to something they already have on them.

    I can’t understand the thought process on not even offering 2nd & 3rd gen with a 6 ft bed. Every single full size truck has the option except for Toyota.

    Either way, with the Taco growing in size, I can’t see the new Tundra shrinking at all. It only makes sense to make it bigger. I have a 20 F-150 extended cab work truck and the interior feels cavernous to me. I cannot believe how massive that truck is.

    If they make a Taco with bench seats and a V8... that would be something

    The seats in our 4runner are stupidly uncomfortable! And the two tone inner stitch pattern kinda reminds me of those weird 3D images your supposed to be able to see if you stare for 30 seconds with your eyes crossed or something? I still never saw the sailboat......

    I hate to say it but I would bet that the flagship motor in 4th gen Tundra will be a turbo 6. This is what the industry is pushing towards whether we like it or not.

    I have my forever truck so I don’t really care what they do going forward. It’s sad but at the end of the day, my truck is more comfortable than a Range Rover or any other new car/truck I’ve sat in. Love my bench seats and the size of our trucks is just perfect

    Even when I had my base model 2nd gen taco single cab mini truck, my mom said those seats were super comfortable.

    I was just gonna say it was a fish based on size, and location.

    The one right under the mouth is definitely a baby.
