five years ago, we picked up a '11 Tacoma Prerunner DC SB, and till this day, love that thing to death even tho its only a 4 banger 4 speed autobox. You're truck looks good with the beefy toyos-must be fun. The only mods I did was throw on some Tundra 16's and a bed cover. The only other thing I want to do is get that OEM touchscreen the '14 and '15s have.

your lines aren't a giant clump of rust lol? i'm so dreading to do my fuel filter, it's just a big ball of rust lol and all the lines around it. i'm gonna buy fuel lines of the same size and gator grips before i do it just in case everything deteriorates in my hands lol.

Make sure you use wrenches specifically for brake lines. They will work on the fuel filter lines too and will prevent you from rounding them off. Spray with PB blaster as well.

I sprayed the lines with PB multiple times throughout the week before I did the job...

Went smooth with just regular 14mm and 19mm wrenches.....

Decided to check out fuel pump today and see if everything is still in place and working...


Was a little surprised to find that the socket filter had come off the bottom of the pump.....


Cant say that I have ever seen that before....


Luckily I had a spare TT pump with 30k miles on it and just swapped out the pumps just to be safe....


If you look in far back you can see the sock filter just floating in the tank..

Everything seems to back to normal with the SC again.....can be a major PITA tracking down all the things that could have been causing the hesitation every now and then...

Picked up these TT rear calipers today locally.....Got a crazy good deal on them...

Ordered Goodridge braided lines all around and rear TT rotors..

I will be cleaning them up and painting them to match LS400 fronts.
