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

Did you actually drive an 18-wheeler for a living at some point?

 

PLace is in the Vineyard, I went once a while ago

 

You know how to double-clutch and power shift?

 

My one buddy says that the clutches are really heavy in big rigs...

 

Did you see this Charlie?

 

No; I have an iPod Touch. Are they discontinuing that too?

 

I hit 150K while driving into work today; I hit 100K in July 2019, so that means it took less than three years to put an addition 50K miles on my truck!

My frame was replaced back in November 2021, with just shy of 140K miles on the clock, so my truck is basically brand new new underneath.

My truck is as mechanically sound as you'd expect a well-maintained Tacoma to be, but it still has an intermittent misfire on startup from time to time; I've already had one injector replaced because it was a throwing a code, so next Monday I'm getting the remaining three replaced. There is a tiny a bit of oil seepage from the cam cover gasket, so I'm getting that replaced as well. Finally, a faulty brake switch has been identified as the likely cause of my cruise control working intermittently.

My truck survived a glancing blow from a drunk old man in a Mercedes back in October 2015, and a direct hit from a metal pipe at a scrapyard this past February,

Despite the hiccups mentioned above, it still runs great!



Here's to another 150K!

 

How in the hell am I supposed to listen to music then?!?!

 

I have a CD player, but I never use it...

 

I like a direct connection to the radio via USB; My phone does that too, but I feel like the sound quality isn't as good.

 

Apple music on phone?

 

I've always kept my iPod and my iPhone separate so listening to music doesn't interfere with talking to people or using the GPS. One of my Aspie quirks is that I just like using an iPod; Would love to have a word with the moron at Apple who thinks this is a good idea.
