That is a JCR Pre-Runner Winch Bumper. They actually have a 20% off sale going on right now. Wish I knew would have waited 2 weeks to order my Stage 4 rear bumper. Oh well

Replaced all of my lifters, and NOW I finally
have oil making its way to my rockers. I had to replaced one of my O2 sensors when the drive shaft grabbed the wiring harness and ripped it off.

Expensive day.

Started working on replacing my heater core. WHAT A JOB!!!!!

Ive been working on cars my whole life. Built many motors and spent hundreds of weekends working on stock cars but let me tell you, this is a JOB AND A HALF!

I wasnt expecting needing a steering wheel puller, so Im basically there. Everything in the engine bay is disconnected, and everything inside is removed except for the wheel and the dash. Off to Car Quest first thing to buy a wheel puller. Ill post a how-to at some point this weekend. Its really simple if you know how to take your dash apart in what order actually.

Why are you pulling the wheel to do a core? You should be able to drop the colom

im no expert at pulling dashes but if im not mistaken the whole lower part of the dash comes off, then you unbolt the collum from its mount, should fall right down on the seat, ill go look at mine right now to check
