Bridgestones are usually pretty solid tires

Needs more squat

 

[Vaquero]

No. Might be easier to unload though.

Almost done with the left side. You can get a better idea of what I'm doing now. My welding isn't the best but I'm getting better as I go. It's been a long time since I welded semi-regularly and I wasn't all that good then.

Drives me nuts they didn't just make an access panel for the fuel pump and sender.

I agree, Genright makes an access panel I saw this morning I’m going to order it and cut the tub when I have the tank out.

Son had a 2001 Ford Focus with the same issue. Luckily, owners posted a template in a forum of where to cut under the backseat. Made the job so much easier.

Hopefully he got the pneumatic tires

It's definitely a quirk of American cars to put the tanks in blind cavities. Every fuel pump or sender I've had to change on "difficult to work on" German or Italian cars have had access panels.

Alcohol wipes clean,
Knobs shed their sticky burden,
Smooth once more, pristine.

Too many choices

I am now tacoless. Traded my TRD PRO Tacoma for a 2022 GX460, the one with the V8 that doesn’t grenade itself unlike the new generation GX’s TT 3.5 V6

I think the Prado I had in Costa Rica rubbed off on me a bit too much. Had to get the closest thing I could to it in the US.

I hate to admit it, but US built Toyotas can’t hold a candle to the the Japanese built stuff. My Taco had a leak developing from the sunroof at 68K miles, and automatic car wash drying fans would blow the roof weather stripping loose and have it flailing around. The skid plate would also rub the frame and make a constant creaking sound.

I think that's a good trade.
I hope it serves you well.

Thanks! The difference in comfort & quality is amazing

I've driven and ridden in some verboten "in America " vehicles before.
It hurts my soul to know what could be.

Agreed. Unfortunately they don’t take pride in their work like the Japanese do.

Popped the top on my 2016 Tundra and saw numerous acorns placed in the grooves across the top of the large air cleaner. I swept them all off...
