A 1992 manual just fell off a shelf? That's WILD.

@violafox that color coded plan thing hits close to home man. So here's the real question - when you stripped away all that planning, did you actually save time or did it just feel like you saved time because you were less stressed? Because I've been in that spot where I simplified a layout and thought it was genius, but then realized the crew was spending the same amount of time hunting for materials in a messy pile, just in a different way. Rick might be onto something with the single bay system, but I wonder if it scales when you're dealing with multiple trades fighting for the same elevator.

Yeah you hit the nail on the head. I learned that same lesson on my old Cherokee, not a Tacoma, but same deal. Arizona summer, thought I'd do a quick coolant flush after work, popped the rad cap and got blasted with a geyser of hot coolant. Burned my arm pretty good. Now I always crack that bleeder screw on the thermostat housing while I'm filling, just like you said. Let it run with the cap off till the thermostat opens and coolant starts circulating, then top it off and close everything up. The whole process takes an extra 10 minutes but saves you from getting scalded.

Right @the_charlie, sometimes the real problem is just how we're seeing it.

Wait, is one decent job lead really that big of a deal though? I mean, it's cool she reached out, but it's not like she handed you a career or anything, just a slight bump in pay. Seems like a lot of drama over a pretty small win.
