They just called... it is ready for pickup. I'll go get it after my buddies promotion ceremony later today.
Promotion ceremony? Is that a wokeness thing? The only celebration I ever got for a promotion was a new pay increase, a new office and once a box of smuggled Cuban Cohibas

He is in the Army and got promoted to E-8, second highest rank for an enlisted guy. He didn't want to make a big deal of it. I was one of three family friends that he invited.. his god daughter and her fiancé were the other two. But we went out drinking afterwards at Sholtz Garden (old ass German beer garden in Austin), food was incredible. Got to hang out with a shitload of old-school E-8/E-9 guys and listen to their stories. Good time. That being said, I did not pick up the truck. lol

Side note about Sholtz Garden, there used to be (maybe still is) a tunnel from the capital to there.

The Tacoma has been sitting for 3 or so weeks till my mechanic could look at it. Figured the clutch and or slave cylinder were out. Just got a text its ready and only issue he could find was some rust on the throw out bearing pivot. Greased it up and said everything is working great.
And pictures since we all like those.

This shop would not be the place for that. Also its getting sold real soon so someone else can moleste a 100k mile first gen

I joked with him that my friends were saying just have the shop SAS it. He laughed and said he does not have the tools to fabricate that.

He is a general mechanic and alignments. His weekend job is maintaining a 2000hp camaro for drag racing. He still uses old dials and lights for the alignment. No fancy machine for that.
