Gunshot's Taco Build and Washington Debauchery Log...

idk.. I also have 126k, but Im not moving or as worried. I dont think I could get a new truck. Too much tech. Look at this video on how to do brakes on a Rav4:

I went to look at a Ram 2500 for someone, and he asked me to check how many miles it towed. There was a tow menu. Even that was too much. I just have Trip A, B and total. Im still rocking the stock radio too.

 

3rd gens aren’t as bad as they are made out to be.

In terms of the new truck market, other than Ridgeline, not sure I would trust the new “tech” bs. Tacoma retains value for a reason, even the “turd” gen.

 

A friend told me the ultimate hack.. he signed up for it using company gas card (he drives a truck for work, so free $)

 

pretty sure for payload, the short bed has more capacity. just a thought.

 

I'd be more concerned about fitting in a garage than the payload (which would change if I ever did lift it with Deavers, etc anyway).

DCLB would fit in my UT house, but that thing had a mega-deep garage. The ones around here are more shallow I've noticed.

 

Fair. the short bed definitely has some limitations. lol. I can't sleep in my truck bed without the tailgate down..unless ig o full diagonal. GF, on the other hand....can sleep in the 5.5' bed. lol.

 

DCLB def has its limitations too. You should see how tight streets are parking are in parts of Seattle.

 

Need one of these

 

A Delica van has been high on my "spare/hobby" vehicle list for a long while.

A Kei truck would be fun too, but a little less practical maybe. There's a guy at the brewery down the street from my place with one, and its a hoot.

 

Should have fixed this at the time. This part is $208 now.

 

Well thats a problem...front driver leafsping nut backed off and the bolt is quite a ways out.

 

Sounds like you’re ready for a new truck.

 

Got the bolt seated back, but the nut and washer went out for cigarettes...gonna have to hit the parts counter of the local toyota shop toget another one plus the washer.

Actually found that when I went out to inspect the fairing on the prinsu and was going to remove it before I scheduled a new qwindshield to be installed. I'm thinking I may end up selling the rack with the truck cuz I have a suspicion quite a few of those bolts are siezed in the crossrails and ordering a bunch of new rails and hardware equal most of a new rack if theyre all stuck.

 

M14x1.5 is the thread pitch on the rear leaf spring bolts btw. Toyota has no idea when you call a parts dept and the forums were scarce on info.

 

Isn't there a fix with a Honda piece for $25? Or do you need the whole harness too

 

ah. yes. that would be a problem over there. not much so here. lol.

 

I don't NEED the whole harness, but I'm def going to need a replacement plug assembly and a bunch of the spade connectors and stuff.

 

Ill look for the mod for the honda piece

 

Geoff to the rescue?

 

So I can find this later:
