What have you turned off on your Tacoma?

Holy batcakes. The new wooden stick shift that appears to be about as long as a broomstick handle is simply awesome!

 

radar control isn't terrible, i tried it last time i took the truck on the highway, it worked as expected, not impressed enough to care, or disappointed enough to say anything..

how did you permanently turn off traction/vsc? i'd love to do that, but maintain ABS. really tired of fully stopping and press-holding for the 30 seconds or whatever. otherwise, all the other options my '18 either doesn't have, or are already turned off/not used. next would be to convert my 4dr long bed to a manual, then i'd be really happy with the truck...


***yes, i actually wanted a 1980 tacoma, but living in indiana, they all turn to rust in 2 winters. my other car is a 2014 brz, which is also the newest-oldest, most bare-bones vehicle i could buy. my very first rule with any vehicle purchase is that i need to be able to replace the factory radio with an aftermarket unit. i won't consider a vehicle without that functionality.

i was born in the 80's, but i would absolutely love a time machine ride to 1970 if anyone's got one. these days, i guess i'm a millennial-boomer. now stay off my damn lawn!***

 

I think I’m gonna be sick…
It’s the clash of new vehicle chassis with 50 year old beater interior that’s making me die inside I’m pretty sure

 

Who on earth… aside from the OP… is turning off radar cruise???

I understand it’s not something to always use. But in this slug of a truck; it’s nice to not think about it… and the mileage is usually way better.

 

What is going on here?

Have we entered tin foil hat territory?

 

We have been in that territory for awhile.
Welcome in newcomer.

 

Sorry, I was too busy utilizing modern technology that would not work well wrapped in tin foil.

I don’t regret it.

 

If your 2nd Gen is equipped with an immobilizer, and you wrap the key in foil, it won’t start.
Really, it won’t. But that’s a different story.

 

I was watching tv

Would take quite a bit of tinfoil to wrap that thing.

 

Wrap the remote in foil.
That way you can’t turn it on.

Thank me later.

 

This is America, so I guess getting up and manually tapping the “on” button is too much to ask?

 

What am I? An animal?

 

Turning any TV on in general, is a bad idea.
Unless you like fear, panic, chaos, and confusion?
If so, watch all you want.

Or just browse TW. It’s about the same.

 

This should get 'er done:

 

Could you elaborate on which fuse this is? I find no listing.

 

I don’t think you should be screwing with the shark fin, the mothership will get pissed and vaporize the whole lot of ya. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzz and then you’re gone !!!

 

we could only be so lucky! given everything going on, if they haven't Bzzzzzz'ed us yet, they won't any time soon!

 

I’ve removed my shark fin. It’s wrapped in plastic wrap and tape and behind the backseat. Shhhh. Don’t tell anyone.
