That XJ's gotta go too...

 

If I can cram a carseat in the back of an xtra cab Tacoma I think his XJ will do alright lol

Unless this is a Jeep reliability thing then I got no comment

 

He'll answer for ya shortly enough lol

Speaking of kids and vehicles, you guys settle on a minivan yet?

 

Probably my wife's aunt/uncle's RAV4 that they want to sell, but she'll be ditching her Accord for it

Once my truck's paid off later this year I'll get a commuter but it ain't gonna be a mini van, probably a 4 door hatchback of some sort

Truck will stick around as the trail toy it was always meant to be

When the kid is older and can't fit in the back anymore I might sell it for a T4R or Cruiser who knows

 

Get a 3rd gen 4runner; I'm seriously considering one after I pay off the 5.0

Doesn't help that our service manager has one; it's a black limited and has always been up to snuff as far as maintenance goes. He used to be a Toyota service manager for many years.

 

yeah I edited my post to add that I'll probably look at a wheeling SUV of some sort once she's too old to fit in the back of the xtra cab anymore. T4R or Cruiser. Would definitely sell the truck then though, I don't need two huge money pits.

This is all assuming the world doesn't continue to fall apart and I can still afford the idea

 

Pfft no one said you have to upgrade the 4runner....right away if you got it.

Your Tacoma needs nothing? Unless you're going 40s and tons...

 

Hmm. The Amazon of old delivered these two by train car and the farmer built them. Back when men were men.

 

Oh, and there’s TONS of this stuff around. Unopened

 

The Tacoma always needs something, maintenance wise or replacement wise. Sometime in the next 6 months or so I'll need new tires

Still need to figure out the front end alignment issue and probably replace those LCAs

A bunch of other little stuff I don't want to think about lol. Nothing urgent though

 

Oh yeah dude I still have your lower control arms, just get yourself bushings.

Maintenance is expected

You're starting to sound like you miss just putting gas in your vehicle and just going somewhere; doesn't work that way, for long

 

Just don't want two of those money pits lol. One is enough

believe me I miss the first year or so I had my truck and it never needed anything but gas, all these mods and wear and tear wheeling trips later it's not that pain free anymore lol

 

Pictures.. Pictures.. Pictures..

 

Come hang out in this group for a while. Then you'll start to appreciate the simple life.

Hello to the world of old cars/trucks.

 

Feels good to be off until sunday night

 

People who dont respond to the for sale ad

Dude has an overheating 700 dollar ranger in otherwise good condition i can flip for a quick buck

Wont fucking respond, if its sold take the gawd dam ad down

 

So I'm biting the bullet and doing my valve cover gasket (ordering part from Camelback naturally). Going to do my spark plugs & wires while it's super easy, is it worth it doing the ignition coils? I'm on a bit of a budget but at the same time, probably never an easier time to do it. Truck is at 215K miles, we got it at 190k miles, with no other maintenance records, truck is doing fine, but I know the gasket is starting to fail so good time to replace it.

 

I know I'm in and out of this forum (time/money mostly, no extra cash no tacoma world, otherwise you guys will convince me to get more mods and truck stuff I can't afford lol), but always LFG with cool people.

 

Dont do coils till one goes out

If one goes out replace all 3
