Iowa Tacomas (Idiots.Out.Wandering.Around)

My starter had some issues late last summer after I did a trail with deep mud and water crossings. It wouldn’t turn over sometimes but then half the time I could wait 10 minutes and it would work, half the time it wouldn’t. It looked like a super hard job to even get to the starter on a first gen with my options so I just pulled the fender liner out and sprayed it with a pressure washer really good and it has worked flawlessly since so I am rolling with it. Might be worth a shot if you can try it.

 

got a good look at it and was able to pry a bunch of dry mud off the bottom of it. I think between that and some of the spray from the rain has helped. today and yesterday worked pretty well. Catching on the first or second try.

I also checked out a 2004 as a possible daily. would have been a good deal for about two grand, dealer wanted $3,400 for it. Had him down to 2700 but he wouldn't budge from there. 286,000 miles. pretty good shape, I needed a few small things that I could have done at home.

 

Wife and I got married on Halloween a couple years ago now and that was one of the props. It's an old hair dressers practice manikin head thing.

 

Good morning victorious veterans of vivified vacationing in vivacious varying locations.


Almost forgot... LoL

Also, couldn't think of a "v" word for an area....

 

I can think of a few...

 

I meant areas that you guys actually do explore from time to time. . . . . .

Vicinities?

 

Well done. That did not come to me.

 

Haha! You've been killing it! Maybe your brain was tired this morning

 

oh no

 

Uh oh..... I think you need one.

 

@Shellshock - Just a FYI.... Hiland has a Red one on the lot still.

 

I drooled on a silver one yesterday.... I still like the lines of the GT86 better, but this thing is growing on me. I'm sure if I drove one I'd be all over it

 

Usually once I goto a dealer... it’s game over

 

Good morning operators of offroad oriented, obstacle obliterating, oracles of oration.

 

That was weak and I apologize .
