Title: swap a steering rack and replace oil pan
Post by: smaug1911 on February 12, 2008, 05:39:44 AM

on a Tacoma

Anyone done this? Doesn't seem too hard, but rust will make it virtually impossible.

yeah, i KNOW your truck brian. i would probably find all new hard ware. no offence. it will be very hard to try to keep a lot of the hard ward if everything is a rusty as all the bed mounts.
