The Lair

Sorry
Way to use space efficiently and make it more reinforced, that's awesome

 

LOL I still suck but I still have a lot of fun welding.

 

Go sign up for a couple classes at at college, or just find a guy you know and keep nagging

 

Not sure yet it is in the hands of the insurance company. Love to do flatbed.

 

Talked with another guy with oil consumption in his 2.7 and it doesn't look good for me hope I can solve the problem before it gets any worse

 

How's your damage from AOAA Randy?
It just looked like your mirror but I was betting you have some good pinstripes too!

 

Its more than that. I love fixing any vehicle. My 93 was totaled twice. Fixed it like new twice. This one the insurance company is giving the runaround. Part of me says total it buy it back. Part of me says let the insurance company fix it.

 

Is it smoking at start up? Smoking whill idling? Going into radiator? Leaking? If u have the oem oil cooler, check the seals. They leak at times, leave little to no trace. Or rear cam seals. I can go one solved many oil consumptions in my time. Just never on a 2.7. 22r and a 22re yes.

 

My bedside too! It’s nice and wrinkly. And little scuffs here and there. One perk of the white paint is you really can’t see pinstripes.

 

Maybe I was rubbing on a pine tree!

 

What carnage?

 

Don’t be a show off John. We can’t all have annihilated bedsides like you

 

No smoke at start up, no smoke idling, no oil in coolant, cooler? Don't know if m/t has one. It does smell oil tho. And 4th sprk plug is darker than the others. It is a nice troubleshooting to do lol

 

Oil cooler if it had one it usualy at the oil filter base. If 4th plug is darker it could be burning a little. Is the smell constant while driving or only ar start up. If the burning smell goes away it can be valve seats or valve seals, booth tricky fixes

 

Boy been searching the web for a 2nd gen.
What are some places thinking throw a cheesy 6 inch lift at it and a cheesy light bar ask a high price.

 

Ok WHO is the guilty person that got me adicted to this.

I have to take notes of when I do smell it... imd be glad if it is only seals. I'll have to have a mechanic to look at it soon. It is out of my knowledge now

 

Best if luck hope its something simple. If not let me know just picked up a parts truck 08 ac with a 4cyl man. Got tboned on pass side, cab. Drives good, just wont need the engine after im done with parts swop will sell rest on gragslist.

 

Funny why is a 2018 tacoma new on lot cheaper than a 2015 with 40k. 2018 listed 32k 2015 all stock bouble cab 35k. Hope its a typo from the dealership. Booth mt but 2018 ac. 2015 white n 2018 an ugly blue in my opinion.

 

Because everyone knows the 2nd gen is a better truck than the 3rd Gen...
