Replaced the power steering high pressure hose after coating a buddies driveway in fluid backing my toy hauler in during our stop over before heading up to Riverside to race motocross. The hose had a pinhole in it and was a easy change except for the one fitting that I swear must be 18 or 18.5mm, i had no wrenches that fit!
My Yota is all metric, but it's significantly easier than the USA cars produced in the 1980's and 90's where it was a mix of metric and standard. Engines that were standard, body panels that were metric, and no rhyme or reason. Must have been a time period where they had to change over tooling, and get rid of their existing stock.
What's cool about my Yota, is that almost everything is on the "even" side of metric. 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, until you get to the bigger stuff, and then it switches to even numbered wrenches 17mm is really common on the truck, as well as 19mm.

In my old age, I am in pretty good shape, but my pants supporters are gone, other wise known as a hiney. I have a 29 inch waist and a 28 inch hiney, this is why suspenders were invented, I think. A belt only serves to push my pants down and there are no "nalgas" to keep them up...Mark

Flat hineys are genetically linked in my family.
Suspenders are worn by Santa, so I'm not ashamed in doing so, myself

I don’t live in Texas, but there are some places that seem pretty patriotic. I just don’t know if I would move there still. I enjoy wandering on the BLM land that hardly exists in Texas. I’m not super attached to Utah though either.
