    Interesting, that’s a fire lookout? Looks nothing like any modern fire lookout tower I’ve ever seen.

    Looks a lot like the old National Geographic observation building on top of Mt Whitney at 15k feet of elevation (highest point in the contiguous US). Climbed it last summer with my dad, was incredible. Few people died in it in the 90s when a lighting storm rolled in and they took cover in it....it had a metal corrugated roof

    Oh its old school. Kind of a historical thing now. Sad that people like to tag it up and deface it

    Meth is installed. Right when I get into it, trims go down to normal. I’m using the Walbro 190 that came with the 7th.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I'd bet based on the history of other people's Walbros that it isn't working right. Maybe check your fuel pressure. I've decided to use an Aeromotive 340

    Huh. Well that may be a bitch to do. I have heard my pump whining sometimes when I get out while the truck is still running.

    Pay for shipping and they're yours. Although they weigh a bit so it might not be super cheap.

    Walboro fuel pumps are notoriously loud....it's normal. At least from what I've heard several others say about theirs. Mine whines like a stuck pig sometimes. Has for the past year I've had it.

    Well.. injectors are the only thing I haven’t replaced/checked. I don’t really want to swap those out, but I might have to. I don’t want to because when I pull the blower off, I’m gonna be tempted to send the rotor pack to Magnuson to get recoated and a whole other laundry list of things. Might throw MLS head gaskets on. New gaskets on the valve covers.

    Comedy channel on pandora. I like loui ck, just type in a comedian name. Or install a 10.1 inch android head unit like I did and watch movies. possibly more dangerous, but fun...

    I put a dash cam in mine. The time stamp is off due to a firmware update that I need to install.

    I changed the engine oil, and re-installed the skid plates that I took off for the alignment. I think later I'll adjust my rear brake shoes since they've had a year to bed in. I don't trust auto adjusters.

    Does anyone else with a 1998 PreRunner have these badges? The Carbon Fiber badges and the ‘B’ pillar badge are OEM according to Camelback Toyota, and have associated part numbers. All of them are discontinued besides the “TOYOTA” badge.

    So far I’ve found out this was only available on 1998 Tacoma PreRunners and PreRunner v6’s. I haven’t seen it on another truck thus far, and everyone else in the thread asking about it also have 1998 PreRunners.
