MARYLAND TACOMAS

But I was able to "build" a pretty sick Ford F250 for 58k Lol still an automatic though =( I hate autos.

 

The main issue in the US with a diesel engine is emissions. Diesels by law are required to have a Urea system on board for emissions, and the stuff is super corrosive and expensive. stack that on top of $5-6 per gallon fuel, and gasoline becomes much cheaper. the whole reason that diesels are everywhere in other countries is that diesel is cheaper over there and the emissions standards are much more lax, so they don't have to mess with the Urea

 

I still need to learn how to drive a stick.... and im probably gonna end up learning how to do a clutch after

 

Diesels are nice if you need them 3/4 or 1 ton. If they sold a decent half ton or a mid-size I'd be interested. The new Colorado dmax has caught my attention but I doubt they will offer a manual an I'm worried on what tranny they will back it with. Nissan is bringing out a Titan with a Cummins and Dodge have the ecodiesel for halfton trucks. Now I do know Cummins was working on I think a 2.8 4 banger who know what that will go in Frontier maybe who know but the diesel power grabs my attention. The motors last forever with normal maintance but maintance cost a little more than a gas job. Mileage wise they do better than a gas motor but the new emissions hurt the milage the new motors are getting. Diesels aren't about high HP numbers mainly torque numbers. But I would like to pick one up at some point I'd like to see a diesel Tacoma but will see

 

Usually Lol. If you get a Tacoma get a LCE clutch. I have there dual comp stage 2 clutch and love it! It's pretty much on/off with no slip.

 

Yea im tempted to save up the 25k and send my Tacoma to Texas to get the hilux swap. Those trucks were everywhere over in Afghanistan and going strong in that harsh environment. Would love one stateside.

 

Sometimes i think i should have. the dealer i bought my truck from had two Tacomas. an 08 V6 Manual ACLB in black, and an 07 V6 Automatic DCLB in Navy Blue.... decided i wanted the auto, as at the time i was still fighting my ADHD and didn't think i could multitask enough to manage the transmission and drive at the same time..... i kinda regret not getting the manual now that i look back at it, and im pretty sure a manual swap is out of the question.

 

I finally got around to installing my lbj's on my 4runner today after work. 184k miles on the originals. I read alot of threads on T4R.org about 3rd gen 4runners and lbj failure and i've repaired 2 customer's 4runners recently and the damage that it causes isn't pretty or cheap . I'll sleep a little better tonight, lol.

 

Sorry, first time i've posted pics on the new and improved TW!

 

This city is crazy! A cashier in a corner store not far from my work got shot in the head during a robbery a couple hours ago.

 

no bueno.. you think it's riot/protest related, or just baltimore being baltimore?

 

Forgiven

 

Anyone ever had water issues my drivers side floor is soaked Windows were up

 

Yeah it going to be crazy this weekend in B'more ,warm weather Al Sharpton in town couldn't pay me to go within 30 miles of that city right now

 

Yup. But the passenger side is the problem.

Did you have your fresh air vents open and parked frontend facing down hill during the storms last night? If not I have no clue

 

Dumb question what is fresh air vent open or closed. I have no clue it's just the drivers floor and it was we I notice a spot on my weather tech being wet when I got in and after I got to my parents it was bigger

 

Anyone have experience with KBS coating for frame paint? I am looking to paint my frame and get rid of rust..

 

I've read on other boards water can come thru the cowl and enter the vents ,does your a/c heater control panel have a button for recirculation and outside air if so that would be your fresh air for a/c or vent intake which is located under the cowl on most vehicles

 

Or maybe your windshield seal is leaking on drivers side and running down behind the dash
