50+ thread

The seats in the 15 are definitely lower. Both are SR5s but the design must have changed. They may have had a lot of complaints from average/tall people. Only 5'7" here and shrinking.

Yeah there's dfinately some butt hurt going on. But off of politics, the Dow reached 20k first time ever.

 

Y'all get this thread locked, *then* what y'all gonna do all day?

 

I'll do what I use to do. Talk to myself. Always an enlightening conversation. Never an argument.

 

For over 2 years, my old truck's radio was broken. Combine that with a stressful job and I swear a few drivers in front of me were wondering what I was shouting at. Solved a lot of problems too - learned that "It doesn't really matter - this too will pass"

 

maybe achieve a life goal.........nah

Damn Mike I just ate lunch and that almost made me throw up. Good luck hope you can get rid of it. And not in the Spring either.

Spend more time and then money on other BBS buying guns I don't really don't need...

Been a bit over a year for me, done that and your right. Then I discovered my phone would connect to it with bluetooth so back where I started

Yep and when you do achieve it then what, you have to set another one. Too much like work if you ask me. I've finally learned to set the bar low LOL.

 

A friend of mine at work daughter lives in San Diego. She told her mom this morning that there was frost on the windshield and had to use a credit card to scrape it off. Said she didn't need an ice scraper it only happens a couple of times a year and a credit card or drivers license always works. I replied yeah same here, where you can use a credit card to scrape ice off that is. I carry an extendable RV brush for the truck most of the year.

 

Don't know if this link is still good but: https://www.tacomaworld.com/out/?url=http://4crawler.com/4x4/CheapTricks/index.shtml#SeatHeight

 

I park in my garage soooo :} no scraping lol now if caught out yeah lol two different scrapers plus a spare. It is amazing to me how many people who live where It can and does snow and ice up do not carry a scraper or snow brush. I mentioned a trick to MQQSE and here it is again when your windshield is iced up fire the car up and turn on the ac .. Yes it seams counter productive however, if you think about it lol the air from the ac unit is warmer then the ICE on the window as soon as the car warms up switch to heat .

I've used a d/license to scrape my Windows before but the Tacoma now stays inside a garage out of the elements

 

That's why I like my Viper smart start , remotely start my truck and let the defroster warm the windshield

 

Yeah well some of us are luddites so PFFFT :}

LOL !!

 

I do have a heated tuck under garage. Was aware of the frame rust issue on the Taco when I got it. Back in the 70's Dad and Grandpa both swore parking a vehicle in a garage caused them to rust faster and I spent a lot of time doing the rust chipping thing in the Navy with a needle gun LOL. Heat is a catalyst for rust the colder it is the slower the rusting process. So I did a little experiment and went up to the main road and picked up a chunk of salt the County laid down and mixed it with water and sprayed 4 pieces of steel wool. One was a control and untreated and I used 3 different things on the others. Then sat it in the garage for 4 weeks.

After 4 weeks Fluid Film (that is what the FF stands for)


Which is better than the control piece that broke in 2 when I moved it.


I spray the underside with Fluid Film once a year better than nothing I figure. I park outside in the hopes that it will slow down the rusting process.

Same here, got it right after I realized I wasn't going to be parking in the garage. But it really shines when leaving work in the uncovered ground lots.

 

Thank you!
