    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    It did it in the Superstition Mtns when I lived there. (A mountain in AZ is just a medium size dirt hill)

    I don’t really see them everywhere, but definitely see one every once in awhile.

    I just don't get the mindset, 'oh I'll just throw this on the ground because why the fuck not.' I'm probably giving them too much credit - they probably don't think that hard about it or anything ever at all.
    The truly disturbing part of it is just how many people there are out there that behave that way

    Reminds me of the movie Idiocracy at the beginning, during the 'Great Garbage Landslide of 2505'... Garbage had been collecting in landfills for so many centuries with no real plan for it that it became mountains and eventually just destroyed the city lol.

    Yeah I don't get it either. We were always brought up with clean up after yourself, leave no trace, tread lightly, etc. But some people will get tired of a drink, open the door and just set it on the ground at a stop light before driving off. I don't understand why anyone would think that is okay

    Yeah that's a big problem here too with all the Ride-share drivers. They'll eat their fast food sitting in their cars between calls and then toss it in the street before they pick up the next person.

    How do the ballstuds feel? Hard to move? If so I'd run em, if it doesn't feel like it takes a lot of force to move em I'd pass

    @Speedytech7 what is the sensor at the back of a 3rz? Between the valve cover and firewall annoyingly shoved in there

    I removed the engine wire harness and am ordering all the bits I broke I just have no clue what that is or does

    the sensor broke apart and left with the connector even though the locking tab broke off
