    Let's hope it's something simple like an A/C clutch or an idler bearing. Let me know what they say.

    I took my Taco to my mechanic last week. Told him "I think I hear belt slap when I turn on the a/c"
    While he had it I had him change the oil, rotate tires & lube the drive line. Do something worth his while in case I was hearing things.
    Fortunately he found the belt was loose. I like being in tune with my vehicle enough to know it needs something without even raising the hood.

    Now you can fly to Japan & take a factory tour! (of course I think the trucks are built in MX now, but still - gold star license!)

    Hump day gents! I feel like this weekend just evaporated. Where did the time go?

    I traded in my Crosstrek for the Tacoma. Overall not satisfied with Subaru

    I tried talking her into the wilderness edition, which is lifted, but she didnt like all the flashy exterior things included with it. Shes also pretty frugal, so hard sell.

    I totally would though
