PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

What really pisses me off is that Uber won’t go into detail about why the guy who ordered from Friendly’s gave me a thumbs down...

 

@Taco critter, how long long do you think it would take to install fog lights in my truck? All I’ve got are the fog lights themselves. How much do you think it would cost to get all of the other necessary parts? How much “dismemberment” would be required to wire the fog lights so they won’t turn on at the same time as the high-beams?

 

I thought you said you could put in foglights?

 

Reagan-era Carrier heat pump at work, still keeping employees cool after almost 35 years!



Specifically, it’s a 1985 Carrier “Round One”...

 

You’ll need to pull the left side of the dash to access the switches and other than that the hardest thing is running the wire through the firewall. Not a difficult job though really.

 

Can’t be anymore difficult than running the wire for the subwoofer and amplifier...

 

In May 2004, my parents traded our problematic GMC Safari conversion van for a brand new Honda Odyssey EX. This van holds the distinction of being the first vehicle my parents owned that had a DVD entertainment system. It served us faithfully for 9 years and over 130K miles. My dad sold it to a coworker in 2013 for $3,500 and bought a brand new Honda Pilot Touring. The Pilot had 4WD, but the minivan was far more comfortable on long trips.

My dad’s coworker has put less than 35K miles on it in the more than six years he’s owned it, but since it had relatively high miles for its age in 2013, it is now pushing 170K!

 

I now work in the same building as my dad and the Odyssey’s new owner, and he drove it to work today...

 

Like I said, the old girl’s been driven less than 35K miles; If she were still in the family, she’d have over 200K...

 

For some reason I thought your were talking about the conversion van.

 

Some rust on the left rear fender...

 

And a scar typical of life in suburban parking lots...

 

Interior in decent condition...

 

The new owner had the airbags (or maybe it was airbag parts) under recall after the Takata scandal, and the SRS light came on a short time later...

 

Still has a decent factory sound system (though the CD player only worked when it felt like it)...

 

A/C still blows cold too!

 

I even got to take her for a spin around the parking lot!

 

Here is something that you definitely do not see everyday...

A brand new single-family home with a one-car garage! Unless of course it’s on an overpriced and undersized lot in Doylestown Borough!



This is actually a decent sized house, and even better, I am 99% sure there was not a house here before; So no teardown! Still, it’s only got a 1-car garage, there’s almost no yard, and I guarantee it’ll be going for close to $600K at a minimum!

 

I always wondered this, what is the county pd, so basically the sheriffs office performs the traditional duties such as admin, jail and court. And the county pd performs law enforcement duties in the unincorporated areas of the county not covered by a city / city police?

 

Apparently, less than 107,000 Tacomas were made for the 2010 model year. I don't know if this includes 2010 models that were produced in 2009 (like mine), or U.S. and Canadian models...

Does anybody know if there's any way to narrow production numbers down by cab/bed configuration, 2WD/4WD, engine/transmission, etc?
