I’ve tried a two jaw metal plier set for diesel filter housings. Didn’t work. I’ve tried two different type of strap based wrenches. Don’t work. Granted, I was trying to ensure that I wouldn’t break the entire housing. So, I’m sure I could have applied more breaking force at a much higher risk...

Oh, the woes of inadequate engineering… The factory fuel filter housing is flawed in a very fundamental way. By using a plastic housing w/ o-ring seal, you can introduce too tight of a seal, even while torquing to spec. The plastic boss that passes as a bolt head will easily disintegrate on a...

That’s a solid solution. The cheap dead pedal is still sitting in the pile of “won’t recommend these parts”…

I made a video about a project I’ve been chipping away at.

I diy’ed my own rear seat delete. happy to answer any questions and open to constructive criticism.

I did this: and uploaded this: and also posted a bent dead pedal up for grabs to the local NorCal Pay it Forward thread.

photo for attention Cheap Amazon dead pedal. It’s bent exactly where you’d expect it to be. Free to any JL/JT owner that’s local in the Bay Area.

This bed mat is still sitting in my driveway. It’s free to anyone who wants to come get it.

Didn’t bother me at all. The truck build was almost perfect. It was an added benefit to be able to pay less in registration. That Tacoma is now completely different; fiberglass fenders, long travel, custom springs, etc. and it still is registered as an RV…

Another workaround for the commercial plates on a 1/2 ton truck in California is getting the registration modified to be a Recreational Vehicle. By doing this, you will be charged RV fees instead of commercial truck. I changed my registration on my Tacoma to RV when I had a Drifter wedge camper...

Molle panel has been claimed and picked up. now I just need someone to pick up this bed mat.

I now also have a Horse stall mat thatI cut to use as a bed mat. Please come get it.

I don’t really consider Lake County part of the Bay Area. Holister is just as much of a mud hole as is Knoxville but I don’t consider San Benito county in the Bay Area either. Enough snark. Sorry. During this time of year I head south for any wheeling trips. So, my recommendations don’t really...

I wouldn’t bother with Knoxville this time of year, unless you love mud, are willing to spend hour washing the crud out of your undercarriage and have a large group going where everyone is willing to aid in recovery…. The terrain, soil compound and remoteness make this place a no go in my book...

Wow. I thought this would be gone by now….

Man, I gotta check in with forum more often… I would have loved to attend. Hope it was a great turnout.

I live a few hours away and my truck came with factory rock rails. I love the idea of giving with no expectation of reciprocity. It helps bond a community. I am sure someone would love some factory rock rails if you posted them up.

Hello there. I could not find a lock Pay It Forward Thread here in NorCal, so I’ll start one I guess. I have a passenger RC bed Molle panel that I was told to keep after a shipping mishap. I ordered the full bed set online and each panel came separately. Unfortunately(or not) I received 2...

Back to build stuff. Last week I replaced the batteries due to an error on my part. The error was leaving the inverter on overnight for two days. I had shown a customer my electrical setup and forgotten to turn the inverter off. I had a battery charging in the Milwaukee multi charger and it...

It’s almost worth it for me to drive down… almost.
