Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

And a big mess when the air bubble wont come out of the block for the cooling system. Or, does that not happen in your world? It would in mine...

 

And here I thought the electric typewriters we had in typing class were fancy. Only the juniors and seniors got to use them!

I literally remember when colleges were pushing facebook for everyone when facebook was becoming a thing. Back then it was supposedly only for college students. I simply did not understand the concept. The more I tried to understand, the more silly it seemed. Never signed up, figured it would be a fad. I still do!

 

I mean .... Use the coolant funnel from harbor freight.

Fill and let it empty into the radiator. Rinse and repeat until it stays full, well above the tapered part.

Turn the truck on.

Turn all the heaters on full blast (this is the step many people miss)

Refill that funnel as the coolant gets sucked down. NEVER let it run dry.

After about 10-15 min, the temp gauge should be in the normal range and you should have plenty of coolant in there.
.turn the truck off before plugging the funnel, removing it, emptying any excess (back into a coolant jug, if you're savvy) and putting the radiator cap. Back.

I've done hundreds like this. On the sienna and the Highlander. We would usually elevate the front a little bit due to the routing of coolant passages, but this is not necessary on a taco. If it helps, you can park facing uphill in your driveway assuming your driveway does look like the beginning of a roller coaster.

 

What’s a 1gr?

 

Also, mr grammar natzi I think you mean cubic centimeters not meters as that doesn't seem plausible... A hundred cubic meters.

 

I just got my Katzkin seats in and I am planning to get them installed this week by a local shop. I will share more once they are installed. I am super excited these seem like really high quality.

 

That’s pretty high capacity!

 

What material are they?

 

They are leather and I got the middle part perforated.

 

Sounds awesome! Too bad their website doesn’t mention pricing, I’m guessing I’d need financing!

 

I got them from a guy who has a shop on this forum. It was around $900 with shipping how I have them setup, but it can be a bit more expensive if you wanted a heating and or heating and cooling element or other types of customizations which are pretty much endless. My truck I like the OEM+ look so I thought I would stay pretty basic and wanted it to look factory.

 

That’s not bad, especially since it comes with installation. I thought it would be hundreds more.

 

MATH KNOTZI !!!!!!

 

Nice! Too nice? I’d wanna get covers for those.

 

Did it come with pickles?

 

or a clever name?
Or is it called something boring like 'best burger in Wisconsin'

 

Good to know, thanks for sharing! Saving that one on the to-do list next time I'm up there. There's a decent sized waterfall just down the street from there called Cedar Falls. Another decent rapids/falls on the west side of the same flowage called Willow Rapids.

 

I’m kinda liking this..
My current interior is grey, so this is in that vein, but a little nicer. I like that theses are not mere seat covers, but they take off the old (worn) cloth and replace it with this.
