Well we have been wanting to get rid of our 08 focus for some time now but since i disabled the engine on my DD we needed something else... so i got this for the time being.. only paid 300 for it (plus 127 in fees) from my dealership and its been a heck of a rig so far. Def worth the price lol.. engine has 225k miles on it. Called toyota and they did the head gaskets in 99 with 130k miles so it SHOULD be good lol....    i just happen to have a 4" procomp lift in the shed.... so maybe, someday... Or if i get really bored, I got a solid axle lurking in the garage.... HMMMM |

encountered the first "problem" with the truck.... ever since i bought the truck the clutch has been VERY low to the floor... and was hard to shift into 2nd, reverse and seemed to creep with the clutch in....well i figured with 230k miles on it, even if its the 2nd or 3rd clutch it could be getting weak.... well today i shoved the clutch in to come to a stop and POP... and she didnt stop...
OH CRAP
Well after making it home without the clutch from across town, i had plenty of time to think, (being afraid to shift out of first).. i repaired a truck a while ago for a friend were the sheetmetal clutch/brake pedal bracket cracked and would bend when your pushed the clutch in....
well there yea go..
welded her up, shifts awesome now.... found out when you forget to plug your brake light switch in your cruise control wont work (which is only reason i knew the brake lights didnt work lol)
I want 4 hours of my life back now...
