    I'm pretty sure milky white fluid in your oil is indicative of a coolant leak?

    From what I understand from previous people posting about it it’s from condensation where you may not drive far enough to let the heat of the engine evaporate the condensation causing that milky stuff, it seems to happen quite often. I would still look into it to make sure it isn’t anything bad though.

    Attention Asheville people. I have a friend living there who may need a drive line balance done. 2000 Tacoma, 4wd. Who could y'all suggest? His truck is vital to his work so is a job that needs to be done quickly.
    Thanks ahead of time.

    Our drive lines are balanced. Very similar to balancing you tires. For various reasons, on occasion it has to be rebalanced. Maybe a weight fell off, got dented. In my friends case his carrier bearing was replaced (mechanic assures him that it was realigned properly) and he has a shake while driving. Wheels are balanced, aligned. Drive line greased properly.
    At this point he wants to ensure drive line is balanced properly.

    Im in AVL and work in Arden. Moved here a few months ago. I'd love to get a monthly meetup going around here. Maybe do some trail riding / camping trips throughout the year.

    I've noticed. I sold my lifted '88 Yota and got a 2016 SR 4x4 before I came down here in July. Been itching to get it dirty.

    I bet that pre-runner gets around just fine. My '88 was a 4x4 but i rarely used it on the trails. My 33" BFG KO2's were plenty to keep that heap moving. But if you or anyone else in this thread wants to do a monthly meetup in AVL I'd love to start something here. Maybe a third Sunday thing at one of the breweries. There's a Wednesday night motorcycle meetup at the Wedge in the summer and its a ton of fun. Be cool to do something similar for the Yota fans in the area. I know there's a ton
