PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

Also, I don’t like the way the clutch feels in a Wrangler JK; Several hardcore Jeepers I’ve discussed this with over the years have inevitably disagreed with me, but I honestly feel like my uncle’s 1971 VW Bus has a more forgiving clutch than a Wrangler JK!

 

I don’t like the 2007-2011 JKs; At least the 2012-newer ones actually had something resembling power…

My friend got rid of his 2011 Unlimited Sahara because it had the 3.8L/automatic, and it was so slow that he didn’t feel safe driving it on the highway!

 

The little red thing that indicates my door is unlocked came off; I didn’t even know the damn thing was a sticker!

 

Second issue with keys and/or locks to manifest itself recently!

 

I think they’re all stickers?

 

I did manage to put it back in place though…

The only other vehicle my family had longer than the Tacoma was the 1996 Nissan Pathfinder that my dad traded for the Tacoma, purchased new in May 1996 and traded in September 2009, for a total of just over 13 years; The Tacoma will officially beat the Pathfinder for that honor a little over a year from now…

Anyway, no vehicle my family has owned from my birth in 1989 to the present day has ever had something like this happen!

 

I though it was printed on there like the little pictures on the headlight and windshield wiper control stalks…

The print on my headlight control is started to wear off; This has happened to the wiper control (yet) because I did the variable/intermittent retrofit in late 2016 and that switch isn’t even five years old.

 

Could always carefully paint it red (or any color of your choosing).

 

All that money and you only got a sticker

 

Huh?

 

Meant to say we pay all that money for our Tacoma‘s and they only give us a sticker lol

 

OMG the dreaded door lock sticker delamination. Usually that means complete catastrophic failure of the drivetrain is eminent. You may want to have EMS standing by. Good luck, keep us posted.

 

Sell it on Carvana. Sue the dealer for loss of value. Invoke the Lemon Law.

 

Tape it off and use a red paint pen. Then hit it with some clear fingernail polish (glitter optional). Bam.

But seriously that’s cheap as hell on Toyota’s part. Never thought it was a sticker.

 

My first thought was nail polish.

I’m to lazy to care, so mine would be nonexistent. Gone, never to be a problem again.

 

It may be cheaper to higher a millennial to just tell you when the door is locked/unlocked than to pay a toyota price to replace that sticker, or just go online and get a lifetime supply of trim to fit "locked" icons.

Gonna put buy this and put it on the Fanpole when I put the Christmas lights on the truck after Thanksgiving; Also gonna put magnetic signs with my TW and Instagram handles on the doors of the truck so people can take pictures and tag me!

 

When I was still friends with the Rolls-Royce expert from Hong Kong, he insisted up and down that there no pickup trucks in the city because among the other things the cost of refueling would be obscene (it cost home over US$200 to fill up his Rolls-Royce); He was proven wrong on a taxi ride home over two years ago when he saw this red Ranger…

 

A member with a 3rd Gen said that my Bull Bar looked like it was installed too close to the bumper, and showed me pictures of his push bar (which I believe was a different brand); Honestly, I think it looks fine, but I want everyone else to take a look. The other member (I forget who it was) said it should be mounted further out…? My truck was in the body shop in July 2021 for some minor repairs and I had them install the Bull Bar…
