What a "Nature Faker"

 

Call me cheap, but anyone know anyone selling JBA UCA's?

 

Other than Tacomas in Baja, what Toytoas are you referring to? There is another Tacoma plant being built, but not yet finished.

 

Arent corollas being built there?

 

No, it's built in a lot of other countries, but not Mexico. I believe Tacoma is still the only one. Just like everybody, Toyota gets considerable parts (esp wire harnesses and other very labor intensive parts) from Mex, but no assembly plants. The new Taco plant is in Guanajuato (I looked on Wikipedia) in South Central Mex. Wiki says late this year it comes on-line.

 

Toyota has a truck factory in Mexico

 

Sorry, is that a question? I meant TMMBC is there now, and there is supposedly a new plant being built for more Taco production.

Wikipedia:

Mexico[edit]

Toyota Motor Manufacturing de Baja California S. de RL de C.V (TMMBC) is an automobile manufacturing plant in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. The plant was established in 2002.

• Toyota Motor Manufacturing de Baja California, Baja California – Toyota Tacoma, 160,000 vehicles per year
• Toyota Motor Manufacturing Guanajuato – Toyota Tacoma, factory under construction in 2019, estimated start of production in December 2019, 100,000 vehicles per year[24]

 

I thought they built tundras at the same plant

 

No, initially Baja started out making just truck beds for NUMMI. Then NUMMI and BAJA divided up Taco by cab type. Then when NUMMI closed, their share moved to San Antonio, where they had already started making Tundras. Tundra used to also be made in Indiana, but that stopped in about 2008.

 

@Sperrunner

I don't have time to talk, I gotta get over to your build thread and see if you updated it. I am a Japanese van lover too. Sorry, but Delica is my favorite, but Hiace and some others are close behind.

 

Just cut it off and get a ute tray

 

There is a built Mitsubishi van near me that is pretty rad. If you have a IG there is a few cool van pages i follow

 

Came up with something new

 

That won't be on a ford

 

are Mexicans allowed to drink beer while on breaks on the job

 

the Corolla hatchback i test drove the other day said on the window sticker 100% made in Japan, put fully assembled into those ocean crates i guess

 

Just sas

 

I broke a 1/2 extension, a 19mm socket, and a 1/2 x 3/8 drive converter socket getting that bitch out.

I also used a 6’ pipe as a cheater bar but that damn passenger side mount wouldn’t come out.
