    I was in an accident awhile ago and I’m gonna start working on repairing the truck. I can’t drive it right now and I need the A/C system evacuated before I start the project. Does anyone know of anyone that can travel to location and evacuate A/C systems? I’m in concord.

    Not sure how this relates to the original post regarding the seeking of an AC tech?

    Glad you are happy, but not all things are positive.

    Spend some time in the 3rd gen section looking at transmission issues along with the 1st and 2nd gen sections looking up rotted frames. And all gens re rear leaf springs capacity, squeaking and bowing.

    Tacomas are nice, I'm glad I have one. But they are neither amazing or perfect. Just like any other mechanical item.

    Not enough to have a build thread.
    Stop shattering the illusion! They're perfect. I disregard your reality and substitute my own.

    It looks like maybe you can rent the tools and do it yourself.
