    I checked with my dealer today. They are ordering the parts and will call me in a few days when the parts come in so I can bring the truck by for the recall service, he said it should take about two hours.

    I like my Tacoma. If I didn’t, I’d sell it and get something else. I have friends with Dodges, Chevys, Fords. Not one of them is perfect! I have relative that has a 2nd generation Tacoma. He’s now looking for a new one. We think what we think and our nature makes us critical. A few rattles, bumps, whistles here and there are after thoughts when I shine it up and take it out on a drive! Enjoy!

    No offence, but you are dating yourself. When people start talking about Beiber or B. Spears, they prove they are not actually paying attention.

    Neither of those artists rate a mention in 2020.

    Toyota started Tacoma production at a new plant in Central Mexico in addition to another Mexican plant in Tijuana that has been producing Tacoma pickups since 2004. Now you have a choice of two plants in Mexico where you want your Taco made.

    Toyota Motor Corp will ramp up production at its new Mexican plant in APASEO EL GRANDE Central Mexico to 100,000 vehicles a year by 2021 in a major step to shift production of its popular mid-size Tacoma pickup truck to Mexico from the United States.

    No more US made Tacos. Give Toyota credit , that takes serious balls to open up a truck manufacturing plant in a village known for clay pottery and wool blankets. Tijuana wages must be getting too high at $3 an hour. Wages are less the farther south you go. First Japan to Freemont to El Paso to Tijuana Mex and now a Central Mexican village. Is there a pattern here?

    Lets just hope that new toyota plant is packed with enough toyota engineers and staff to train those workers before putting out a final product.

    LOL! Well... None really. But my days of fun (Or just being bat-shit crazy) are looooong gone.
    It's why I don't ride bikes with 1000cc engines or have muscle cars with way too much HP anymore.
    I go to the grocery/hardware store and want to make it up the driveway in winter.
    Get off my lawn! :rofl::D

    I can't get into new music. It's just the same three 6 mafia beat over and over. then there's the autotune. Then there's the simplistic chords, simplistic lyrics, simplistic rapping. no more blues scale, no more soulful pentatonics. it's just nursery rhyme level song writing right in the major scale with no deviation. It's sickening. At 38, you could say I'm too old to understand.

    There are so many interesting things happening in neo soul(alt R&b)/jazz and gospel right now. I just listen to that. I really don't know what's going on in the pop world.
