BassAckwards' AWD Turbo 2TR-FE

Welcome and thank you sir!

 

Well i was having a bad rotational squeaking/screeching noise yesterday after driving around leakey so today i greased up the u joints since i figured they were dry. They were due for grease, but since i replaced them all only 8k miles ago, i didnt think they were the culprit. It turns out there was a thin metal plate on the side of my gas tank that was bent over and was rubbing on the driveshaft only when in reverse. I bent it back, and now all is silent again. Was getting worried that my truck ate more u joints since the last three only lasted 45k miles. Glad i dont have to pull the driveshaft again

 

Hello there sir!

Did i read somewhere that you were considering trading in the taco for a t4r?

 

Yes sir but probably not until next year if I do.

 

Damn! Some lucky person is gonna get a nicee dclb! I really wanted one when i was truck shopping this yr, but i wanted a 6spd more, so i settled on a short bed

 

My 2010 was a Manual and I loved the feeling of driving it, it really is a different feeling driving the manual

 

Nice, was it a double cab or access cab? I definitely agree, the manual feels like im much more in control. My dad has an auto, and i feel like im free wheeling whenever i drive his truck..

It took me a solid two months to figure out how to smoothly shift the 6spd, but once i finally did, id never go with an auto. I absolutely love it

You sir, have good taste

I could be a bit biased though

 

It was my favorite of all so far actually

 

I never thought I'd drive an automatic either... Then I broke my foot. When I had to replace my GTI three years later I went to the dark side.

The Tacoma is my second auto trans since then. My hand still jumps to the shift lever whenever I have to brake suddenly.

 

If youre gonna drive an auto, a taco is definitely the way to go. The autos in these trucks are bulletproof. I always get the clutch foot whenever i go to start up someone elses car and its an auto

Hard habit to break

 

I gotta say, I loved the CVT in my Juke. A lot better than Toyota's . That said, driving a little car with a turbo taught me how to be light on the throttle. I think that's the main reason why I don't have power issues with the 3rd gen. A light foot means I usually have power to spare

 

What kind of tranny is that? Cant say ive ever heard of a cvt.. anything special about them, or what did you like most about it?

 

Continuous Variable Transmission
They've got like a billion gears. Pretty much eliminates the gear hunting that the new tacos are notorious for

 

Very interesting.. paired with a turbo, that sounds like alot of fun to drive!

 

Seriously wondering what I could get for it Private Sale?

 

Im thinking a pretty penny. Last yr gen 2, 4x4, dclb, and a rare color. I wouldnt settle for anything less than the upper end of the kbb value.. just a matter of finding the right buyer

 

Yeah I'll put a sign in the window and definitely Private Sale, as a year ago a Dealer offered me like 24,000
