GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Hey Guys (and gals),

I was able to get 303 Car Care to sponsor a giveaway on Instagram. I feel like they are a lesser known, but premium, brand that started in the aerospace field. I tried a sample of "Protectant" that came in a magazine about 6 years ago and have been hooked ever since. @grant318is can attest to how good the stuff is, as I believe he has been using it longer than I have. If you're interested, here's the link:

Great stuff. I use it on basically every surface inside the vehicle haha. And some out side surfaces. too.

 

Agreed. I used 303 products on my Softopper when I had one. Need to get that stuff back out for some of the black exterior trim pieces on the wife’s car.

 

I've been using it for over 20 years...

I use that shit on everything…motorsports stuff loves this! Also YamahaLube is best for engine protection that doesn’t stink or leave a sticky film.

 

Didn't we have someone in here that did windshield replacements? Wife's 4runner has about a 9 in crack in it.

 

@Bizz

 

While we’re at it, might as well mention this stuff. Locksmith gave me a can & I’ve been usin’ it on Mtn. Bike chains. Great stuff.

 

Thanks!

 

Yep, he is the jam! Replaced my tundra windshield about a week ago or so. Craig is the man!

 

Anyone have a good recommendation regarding who could install cam gears? I have been sitting on that as well as a URD cold air intake & MAF set up. Located around Duluth if that helps.

 

It's not hard - I did mine myself. A second set of hands is nice to loosen and tighten the bolt holding the gear to the cam.

Otherwise, it's just tedious, stripping the top of the motor down.

 

I put that shit on everything, including my pancakes!

 

@Built2Ride hey JB, were you just in Decatur. Stuck in some traffic bc of a blue 4runner wreck?

 

Strangely enough I am in Decatur eating Chinese, but I am in my taco.

 

It was you. The 4runner I'm referring to was my wife's I was pull off the road after an accident. Wasn't her fault.. My truck was in the parking lot to the right.

 

Yep and unfortunately I can’t devote time to that over the next several months so I’d rather find a reputable shop to perform the work.

 

Oof that's not good. Looks like the airbag deployed, is she okay?

 

She's fine. Yeah all the bags deployed. As much as I don't want it to be totaled bc it's so hard to replace right now, I'm also. It sure id trust the airbags to be 100% functional like factory if it's repaired. Isn't that why the usually total then after that?

 

That and price. Any time airbags deploy you have to replace the SRS unit. The bags, inflator, the unit, can easily add up to 10,000 or more quickly.
