They work great on the bumpstops!
What have you done to someone else's ride lately?

I've had my flat before and rode on the bumpstops many a times before replacing my older ones with a fresh set years ago. With this tongue weight (I think around 1500 lbs), taco would probably have a negative arch and get that Carolina squat look going

I need to replace the OME's on my Taco... they are not super flat but they need replaced. I figure I should buy a new set and let them hang out in the garage for 5 years before I say "I really should install those new springs"

That's my MO for any maintenance...purchase and let it collect dust and either forget I bought it or get overwhelmed because now there's several purchases in a pile and it will take too much time to do
I just changed the oil in my taco and afterwards finally put on the belly skids that have been sitting on a cart in my shop since I replaced my clutch almost 4 or 5 years ago

LOL! I rebuilt the drivers side RCV CV axle maybe 10 years ago (new boot and new grease)... its still sitting in the toolbox. I do need to drop my the skids on it and figure out why 4WD won't engage.

Haha, yeah I've got things in my shop that I probably never even opened the box for when they shipped here . Before removing the skids, check the EE ground connection in the engine bay, it's known to corrode and cause the ADD and tcase actuators to have a bad reference ground and malfunction.

The one Nissan we brought to the junk yard had a spare engine with it, so the yard said we'd get more money if it was separated (aluminum intake manifold and head), so we made quick work of separating the engine and tranny then stripping down the block. My makeshift engine hoist because I was too lazy to roll out the cherry picker
