Cant wait to see it mounted

Buddy of mine has a Yellow Jeep CJ with short bus decal going down the sides of his hood instead of Renegade. Maybe I should replace the TRD OffRoad decal with Trail Limo.

 

isnt summer gas better?

 

In my Corolla, it did not matter much. I am changing my perspective on many things ...

That might seem disappointing IF the goal was to improve gas mileage, fortunately, it has not been the singular goal, if you want 45 plus MPG or higher buy a tesla or a Lightning. No one buys a 3rd Gen Taco for the gas mileage. Still unless you live in Californication a gallon a gas is just a bit more than a gallon of water even in 2024. wait until you haul something with it, then watch your MPG drop!

They are going to drag me kicking and screaming into a life without ICE powered cars/trucks and things, in fact I'd put money it won't happen for at least another 50 years thank goodness. Today's battery tech is not sustainable in mass usage period.

 

I'm into interior mods but thank goodness I haven't gone this crazy yet....or have I? .......ummm......

 

I worked on Christmas Vacation, when they were filming in Summit County, Colorado. The Family Truckster was a Ford Taurus wagon, and it had the woodgrain vinyl, and the surrounding framing trim was literally home baseboard trim, screwed into the sheet metal with back oxide screws (looked like deck screws).

Fun piece of trivia, the old Dodge truck that chased the Family Truckster was the same one used by Kurt Russel and crew in Overboard! All they had done was black rattle canned the Dean Proffit Construction on the doors.

 

Two of my favorite movies!

My truck doesn't have enough miles on it yet to warrant a TB or MAF cleaning, but I can attest to the fact that this stuff can help out in many applications. I have even used it successfully one time on a vehicle that was struggling to run. It was years ago on a Nissan Alitma I think and it was throwing a lean code or something like that. Checked all kinds of stuff with no luck. Decided to clean the MAF sensor/wire before replacing it and bam! Ran like a top! That was an unmodified vehicle but I think anyone running an oiled filter would especially benefit from cleaning. I now do this as part of a tune-up along with plugs, etc on vehicles with MAF's.

 

Hmm, let me know if that MPG jumps back up.

 

Trying to get in on that EV parking.

Busy couple days… Finished up overdue brake maintenance on the Taco and the wife’s curb crawler as well as installing her DD Elite fogs.

I dig the Taco, of course, but I am strangely attracted to the minivan with the sweet choice of wheels and tires.
