1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Awwwww jeez man.... Kobe or not, that just sucks dude

 

Did I tell you I lost my storage with my PS3, motorcycle, clothes, TV, and a bunch of other personal belongings aside from the belongings of 3-4 other marines I shared it with?

We were in Iraq when the wildfires hit in 2006 or 2007 and I lost everything.

 

I don't understand this 3rd gen thread about so many Tacoma's being stolen. I can't believe what I'm reading.

I don't think that works anymore after the last couple huge norcal fires recently lol

 

And PG&E doing their shut downs as preventative measure

Looks like a pro ring of car thieves targeting Toyotas due to their easy to hack security systems? The news link in that thread verifies it though, crazy

 

Socal Edison got the bright idea to start doing that too but luckily they're being way more selective about it...for now

 

They've been doing a lot of control burns in the mountains bordering my area the last few weeks

 

Easy to hack. This is 2020. Sheeesh..

 

Not surprised given I could use a screw driver to unlock and start my old Toyota.

 

Goddamn that really sucks...luckily haven't lost anything in a fire, but came close back during that same time...2007 I think. Fire hit the SCV area bad (Six Flags region) where my family were living at the time. Bunch of homes in our neighborhood went up in flames but we got lucky

 

fuel pump cutoff switches are still a must. even in new cars. if you truely want to slow a thief down

Nice

 

I'm starting to think you get paid to post that link

 

Damn, glad I’ve never needed to use the second clip/mag, Whatver you wanna call it, that I keep in my bag. Fckr would barely move on it’s own.

 

took me a sec

 

Finally done with the trans fluid change. That took way too long, have to find a better way.

 

Shutting down the fuel system (with injectors) should be part of a built in "security by default" system. Now its an expensive pain in the ass to deal with if somebody accidentally immobilizes the system -- like three starting attempts without the chip key being withing transponder range that locks the system and requires a trip to the dealer to unlock.
