Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

You probably still have to put a key in the ignition? No?

 

Typically yes.

that would explain things. Hmmm.

 

The key slot is just to the left of the 4wd switch.

 

-12 this morning. My 2015 started with gusto compared to the 2012 Odessey...

 

-4 here. The wind has calmed down a bit compared to last night.

Tacoma started just fine last night.
The Tribute started this morning. Last winter I was having issues with the Tribute when it got cold

 

Does the odyssey need an Odyssey?

 

Its on one right now...

 

Maybe part of that 'best gen' thing?

 

And this is what I mean about conflicting (mis)information... Nobody seems to know when it was available as a factory option.


I get that 2020+ was when it became me available via Entune and Connected Services and the app or whatever, but I'm referring to using the fob to start it. Who knows? Like I said, I'll unplug my new kit and test it this weekend when it warms up a bit around here. I will say it was nice to have this morning!

 

I asked my AI Consultant (the one that knows the value of an '85 Tacoma) and it said there is no evidence of when it started or vehicles that it is in.
Said remote starts on Tacomas are all aftermarket.??

 

Kind of a last call for any lurkers or folks on the fence about the KenTWucky 25 trip. Planning has commenced and numbers significantly impact how and where we camp so i need to know who is planning to come. The group is at seven currently and I would say no more than three more slots (knowing that things will change between now and departure.) Know that it will be muddy and wet with real water crossings and more than probable need for winch usage. Bare minimum is armor, recovery points and good offroad tires. At this point please PM me if you want to come but are NOT receiving alerts for the KenTWucky25 page.

Current participants are:

@rubbersidedown
@Camerasandcoffee
@CygnusX191
@bkhlrTaco's
@Stoney Ranger
@Taco-Grinder

 

Ummm....define "real water crossings". The crossings at TWark were more than deep enough. I will not be buying a snorkel.

 

similar to Twark-go watch the video I sent you in the KenTWucky page. The baby jeep had water over the sills (2" lift on 32's) and the built one had water to the bottom of the doors

 

Just put your smokes and lighter in a ziplock bag.
It'll be alright.

 

Yup! That made me smile...

 

I'm going to need you guys to stop buying up all the Arbuckles (and whatever tomfoolery Brian bought) so that A) there's enough for my measly order of four pounds and B) UPS/FedEx doesn't get clogged up delivering said order.


All kidding aside, I too am having shipping woes. Even with paying for FedEx Express. Ordered on Monday to have for Inventory tomorrow and it's barely shipping out today.


The office has Folgers....... I'll be sticking to water or reminisce and buy a Monster or two.

 

Just 16ft of 3pin 14ga. to get the chase lights going because the wire harness I bought won't reach.

Replacement seals for faucets because my cold water in the downstairs bathroom is dripping.

And I was hoping to get an accidental delivery of 4 new tires, though I think they would've caught on quick that they went to the wrong house.......
They're either for a Toyota minivan or a Subaru Outback.

 

I'm thinking maybe the Limited premiums had it....




Maybe.....


Also, that 2100 Highlander.....

 

Where are all my electrical guru's at?

If I want the chase light switch to come on with ACC.
Does the positive lead from the 3pin switch then go to an ACC source and NOT to the extra relay I'm using? (Red wire from switch to acc.. Black and white from switch back to relay) where relay is getting main power from.

I want to use my power supply from the cubby but don't want constant power if truck is off.

Also, what amperage ACC source is needed for the switch..There's plenty to choose from right under the dash....I.E. my dome lights and brake controller, that I never use, I consider open circuits.



Sorry if it sounds confusing.
I'm better with pictures.
