IS THIS NORMAL?

This is my fist Tacoma ever to own is a 2011 trd sport 4x4 once I saw this I asked my self is this normal does evry tacoma look like this?

 

Could you give us a hint as to what the heck you are asking about?

Or should we just guess...


Yes, they are all like that.

Exactly, just like that!

 

I really don't know either I never seen nothing like that it looks brownish

 

The intake manifold? Is it connected to the engine? Can't tell from picture

Is this brown thing your talking about happen to be made from steel pipe? And connected to the exhaust system?

 

Dafuq.

Are you talking about that screw thread sticking out?

 

I see a TRD etching on the catilytic converter. You have to zoom in but I see it... I bet it's the TRD catback system's manifold

 

exhaust manifolds?...yes, they all look like that.

 

I think OP is asking about the discoloration on the headers.

Yeah, it's normal. You dump several hundred degrees-worth of hot exhaust into them and they discolor and rust a bit.

 

TRD oem headers?!

 

LOL Glad I'm not the only one having a hard time figuring out WTF the OP is asking about...

 

I have a 2011 double cab that I tow with a motorhome and use to tow a 20X8.6 ft enclosed trailer for fishing essentials for several people. This dude is tough, but poor on gas while towing. I Have 10,000 miles towing it with some recommendations, and 6-8k towing that big trailer. Supercharger, toyota cat back exhaust, 285 75 16s, no lift, air lift rear helpers. drive shaft decoupler for being towed and supplemental braking system with proportioning valve, essential for the active toyota braking system.

 

OK.

 

I have black shoes with polished toes. They are good for wearing with slacks at work but not great for hiking or snow shoeing. They cover my feet entirely and do it well. I also wear black socks with them. Just so everyone knows.

 

I'm dying over here.


But seriously that picture looks fucked up.

 

Pure gold.

 

Actually they are Dansko Walkers. But I applied polish to the tips. I'm on concrete floors all day long so a comfortable shoe with some kind of cushion inside was imperative. I spent a ton of money on these so they'd be awesome. Absolutely not a dime was saved on this project. They will comfort better than anyone else's dress shoes on this site. They hold my weight well and I have no balance problems at all. The laces even stay tied all day long - unlike those on your dress shoes more than likely. I'm able to walk on icy sidewalks without falling and have even jogged a quarter mile in them on snow packed sidewalks trying to make it to church on time after being forced to park a long, long ways away. Aside from the polish on the toes I've made no other mods to them. They are completely stock; and still better than anyone else's dress shoes. They may look like old man shoes, but they are expensive, and the black toe polish classes them up very nicely.

And yes, my black socks are indeed the "Gold Toe" brand which I found on sale at a local Costco. But no, you can't see the gold toe portion while my shoes are on. Because my awesome shoes conceal the gold toes. Again - no expense was spared.

EDIT: Sorry, once the smart-ass turns on it doesn't turn off.

 

I've been running Timberland Madison Summit Oxfords on my feet for a while now. I aspire to a better Oxford, but these work just fine for the places I like to go.

 

I'm wearing Sorel slippers.


Is that it? I dunno. Could be.

 

Google for it.
