MARYLAND TACOMAS

Note to self: Stay away from Toyota of Bowie.

Good thing Bayside is 10 min from home.

 

Yeah. This whole process has been a mess. In hindsight, I wish I shopped around more for a dealer to do the swap. As I'm doubting the quality of the mechanical work, if the electrical is this bad.

 

@Rackness you gonna make it to the upcoming aoaa trip?

 

I wish that was closer to me, I would go there!

 

I have my reasons for running from Toyota of Bowie.

Stay away!

 

I agree, toyota Bowie is not good.

 

Hey @Mobtown Offroad, @68dave I’m going to look at a 3rd gen T4R tomorrow with my buddy. Anything i should look for other than frame rot, LBJ condition, water pump and timing belt service record, noises, nocks, hesitations, blue oil smoke, white coolant smoke etc?

 

This is a good read

 

Muchas gracias <3

 

dee nader. Are you thinking of buying one for yourself? Or is it for your friend?

You bet. Really looking forward to it I could use a break site is booked. you lined up yet?

 

Yep! Driving up early saturday morning and I'll camp that night. I booked site 106 for both nights though because @Lots2Learn58 will be joining me and I'm not sure if he'll be camping Friday night or not. For $10 figured it was worth it. I'm really excited to get back out there and hopefully not freeze my ass off.

 

Check the frame at the rear lower control arm mounts stick your finger in the rectangular holes and feel for flakes inside the frame rail especially if the frame is coated with undercoat of some type ,balljoint you won't really be able to tell unless you jack up vehicle grease leaking isn't a sure sign also make sure gas gauge works these have problems that are a nightmare to track down and fix mine does not work and I replaced sending unit and circuit board

 

It looks like it will be cold but nothing a couple of beers and a campfire can’t take care of. I will be up there Friday afternoon. The rate is great! Big to @Braves95 for putting this together.

 

Exactly! And a tent heater I'm hoping to be toasty warm while I sleep

 

Damn I hate tire shopping ,trying to decide on staying with 265s or jump up to 285s

 

That's a pretty big jump in size. That's why I like the 255s so much because they're so tall, but not so wide to kill MPG.

 

I did the same thing no reason to freeze truck camping. Mr. Heater FTW

 

Pizza cutters are the new hotness.
