    Great.
    Pull up a chair, beer over there in the cooler. Just fill it once in a while.
    The recliner is mine.
    The loose board has been repaired so your good there.
    Enjoy..

    I agree Mike. I had the 120K mile service done at the same time this week. The Tacoma seems to have a little more power, Placebo Effect, right now. The true test is when I compute the MPG at the next fill up.

    Welcome, I'm a light weight, so don't need to bring much beer.
    Got a new valve for one of my Coleman stoves, actually shuts all the way off now instead of have a little weep. 416C model, lidless model for use with a stove top oven. Note all the cast iron parts. Fixed Thanksgiving dinner with it a few years ago.

    I used to have a new one like that. Red gas canister, probably not cast iron innards.

    I dont have any newer suitcase stoves, moved on to older ones. Need to fix up my Coleman model 1 this winter. Got one stove last week in the mail, the seller did not empty the gas out of the tank, pretty hazardous.

    Nice to have money for a toy. I've always wondered why they don't get a beater 4X4 instead, saving money, more space, less depreciation I guess. Unless when you add in registration and insurance for a truck comes out more eventually.

    How do you like those tires over what normally comes on them? Last longer maybe?

    Mileage may drop Tom, when they switch to winter blend gas the 4 Toyotas I have owned so far have all dropped about 3 mpg come winter. :notsure:

    Omg people get so pissed after we work on their car for winter and they lose milage.
    Well different fuel, warming up their car, stop and go traffic.
    Yea I do a oil and filter and rotate tires. Replace a air filter and check fluids and it's my fault they Lose like 8 mpg.
    And they want it fixed for free.

    CAN'T FIX STUPID....
