What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Actually... The owner of Yota1 helped Champion design the radiator.

His stipulation was they would NOT be manufactured in China. Champion dipped out him, and went straight to China for manufacturing the radiator.

Nick is a 100% legit guy, he told me that story face to face.

 

Deschutes makes damn good beer. You got a kegerator or just waiting to tap it so you can take pulls sitting in traffic?

 

you been on here a decade and still don’t have a paperback copy? Lol

honestly though, I just have Vol. 2 of the FSM in paperback and it has been the best investment. 100% recommend. PDF is cool and all, but using a computer or tablet with gloves or greasy dirty hands flat out sucks.

 

I’m still Happy with my custom hand built unit in the tundra. Radiator supply house has earned them a long time customer.

 

Totally. I'd love a searchable pdf, the one I have is difficult to find things. But I prefer the hard copy anyway. I put them in plastic sleeves to stop the ripping and grease staining. It also makes it easier to just pull just the pages I need.

 

As someone who lives less than 10 minutes away from the brewery, I can say with complete honesty that most people within 50 miles think that Deschutes Brewing is hot trash. 10 Barrel is a close second on the bottom of the list. Doesn't help when we have 25+ breweries in the local area though...

 

That’s too bad they did him like that.

I just reread my comment and it comes off as condescending towards the radiators but that wasn’t my intention.

I was mainly hoping that Champion was making improvements since it’s such a great idea. But now that I have more of the story it makes better sense.

Makes me wish we could crowd-source funding so Nick could do his original plan (if he even still wanted to). Either way, props to him for giving it a shot.

 

Went out to fiesta island again for fireworks. San Diego

 

That's what growlers are for

 

I have the searchable PDF if you want it

 

Yes!

 

You have the FSM as 1 or 2 giant pdfs in page order? Hook it up, please!

 

Just share with us all

 

That gets links removed

 

Dan you are the best! Always helping other out.

 

Glad to give back any way I can; I've gotten a ton of help here. Has been a great five years since I discovered TW.

 

Has anyone else been getting offers on their 1st gen Tacoma's from Mexico?

 

through the PMs? theres a spam issue going on if so.

theyre probably trying to bait people for info so they know where to go steal them.

 

Next we’ll be getting messages about our trucks extended warranties

 

In a way I agree, it’s like Redhook that I grew up 10 miles away from, and now I despise it, but I’ll still drink a mirror pond or inversion if it’s offered to me- and I’ve been drinking that for 20 years, so I’ve had lots to choose from since then

We have such woes having to be stuck with so many options
