MARYLAND TACOMAS

Not mine. I changed all the driveline fluids after I did the motor swap. Used Redline MT90 oil in the trans. Truck had 147k when I bought it. I also replaced the shifter seat bushings with the upgraded Marlin Crawler bushings.

 

Is that something you guys do there in Canton Dave, the tranny flush and fill? If I wanted it done. I was thinking it might not be a bad idea before what's in there is too old. Switch it over to full synthetic, but more so to ensure it is completely full. Some 3rd Gens have been known to be low. Without a dip stick there is no way to know, conventionally.

 

I don’t think Dave is into trannys he’s a happily married man

 

Well, I figured I got him interested in that pink speed loader that I would test the waters.

 

Thanks for the offer. I will keep that in mind. That's not too bad a price. What happens if you are listening to music and hit the seek buttons I wonder?

I feel like the rear always on will be nice with a cap. Losing a lot of visibility and all that. The front just makes sense for wheeling, or in my case, parking at the mall.

 

Maybe it actually is straight cut? Ever pulled the shifter off and taken a look inside?

 

If I could do that I could check my fluid.

 

The music seek would work as it always has unless you have the camera selected. Then seek+ gives you from camera view and seek - rear camera. Yes, front camera will definitely be helpful for offroading and for spotting shopping carts rolling through the lot.

 

Nope never checked

 

Tbh this one probably needs all those things. My brother isn't the greatest at maintenance past an engine oil change

 

SO who's coming to the potluck BBQ at Patapsco in Ellicott City this Saturday, 3:00?

 

I cant make it but the wife & I have been wanting to hike there. I read online that there's a old town back there. Most Buildings are in ruins but supposedly a church is still standing with remnants of a old graveyard. And old cars back there too.

 

It's a cool place to hike. There's a bunch of ruins, an old canal, and train tracks that are still used. Don't think i've seen any old cars back there yet

 

Mckeldin area, old town of Daniel's if I remember correctly. From what I've read you have to hike alongside the tracks. A online pic of one of the old vehicles back there.

 

Nice! Yea the park is pretty big, and the areas are so spread out there's tons to see. I'll have to check that out next time i'm there. Not sure i'll be able to make it this weekend but i'm gonna try.

 

I wouldn't mind going but you know where I'll be.

 

Sup Chris,
I am now tentative. I have to handle an issue at the nursing home but I think I might be able to get out of it. Is fried chicken ok? I likely won't have time to prepare anything. Also, so I know how much to bring, do you have a solid head count?

 

Oh so there is a third button you hit to activate the camera first? I suppose it defaults to the last view you were at (front or back) ?

 

Hello fellow East Coasters. Fairly new to the Forum didn't know there was an MD page, thanks for the invite @RobP62.
Though not an MD resident, being in central DE, I'm only minutes away. Centerville, Galena/Massey being closest to me.
Truck is basically Factory OEM, purchased in January with 17k on the Odo.
Only upgrade so far are LED reverse lights and a re-badge. Though someday I would like a few upgrades for some overlanding.
