Taco AC 6MT A̶c̶q̶u̶i̶s̶i̶o̶n̶ Project

Slightly off topic
If you are looking for a dedicated HF radio platform a 3rd gen tacoma may not be the best option.
The in tank fuel pump emits pretty bad interference in the HF bands.
You might be able to mitigate it but definitely somthing to look into

6MT access cab? Good luck!

 

I have the VIN and the deposit is down.

I have read these trucks are electrically noisy, as are many other Toyotas.

 

Good info. Fortunately, the vehicle itself takes priority over its viability as an HF platform. Just recently, I conferred with a ham experienced in mitigating this exact problem. We'll see how it turns out. It may be a while before I even get trying HF in the truck. I don't even have a mobile HF rig other than my FT-817, which I reserve for QRP in a backpack.
