omg thats gold

 

Back off, it's my idea

 

you get to write the story when youre the only character who survives

 

I'm not entirely sure but I feel like that was a veiled threat

 

were dealing with a good idea for an snl skit yeah its worth killing over

 

South Park did it

 

son of a bitch

Kind of like the Simpsons Did It episode

 

That means it must come true in real life

 

Hmmm new truck or suv

 

01/02 limited 4 runner just convert the multimode t case to a manual shift

 

Rather have a gx470 or lX470

 

A few years back, we had a couple of tremors when the fracking boom was in full swing. Sounded and felt like a large clap of thunder.

If another quake hits the New Madrid fault, the Mississippi River will run backwards again.

 

SUV

 

Run backwards to were?

 

If it happens again and the Mississippi river river bridges are lost, this country will be in a world of hurt for a while. Too much commerce moves east-west across the river in the fault area.

Large lakes, such as Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee and Big Lake at the Arkansas-Missouri border, were created by the earthquake as river water poured into new depressions.

i am having trouble finding a topic thread that lists all of the oem parts and #s in the engine compartment
does such a thread not exist?

I find it challenging let alone time consuming to find the proper online diagrams that also list the relavant part #s for quick order reference

 

At one time @mechanicjon was building a part list thread. But idk what happened.
So yeah there is probably no list

 

i feel like building a list! for easy future reference for all to enjoy
... will probably just be blacklisted (again)

 

It takes way to much time to compile every pn and organize it for one list.

 

Yep. There are variances between model years, engine, and trim options for it to cover everything. There might be a list of parts that are common between all 1st gens. To hit every variance, that could be a huge list.

If you are going to order OEM, the sites and parts vendors xref the part and vin number to avoid mistakes. I've seen a few differences between Prerunners and 4x4s of the same year.

What would be helpful with the first year of Tacoma hitting antique status next year, would be to have a reference list of known good aftermarket suppliers to use when OEM parts start to disappear or become prohibitively expensive to use. I don't know how long Toyota maintains parts after the 25 year mark. I have a 28 year old car where OEM parts started to dry up 3 years ago.
