    today i looked at my truck parked in the garage and now dread that i have to put it back up on jacks for the third time so i can drop the oil pan and clean it out. its taking me way longer than expected to get this thing running smoothly again.

    (I'm a bit OCD and I hate overspray.) :p

    Also did some claybar on the roof and hood, and "converted" some 9003 xenon bulbs to fit the 9007 housing of the 4runner lights so that the plugs would match.

    i.... found out what was wrong with it with SD Yota's help. I switched out my MAF or VAF to a new one. So it's up and running after 3 months. I also went to autozone where MacRib hooked it up. :)

    Not my truck but today I replaced the tranny on my nephew's 95 Taco 4x4. It was making bad noises in reverse. The truck has a 3" body lift which made it ALOT easier! ;)

    got the oil pan dropped and cleaned out along with the pickup screen. that thing was really nasty....probably the cause of my low oil pressure (i'm hoping)
