    I don't know what exactly you're talking about but if they are airbag sensors they are accelerometers.

    I haven't seen them in the truck, but my celica had them under both front headlights. I think yellow usually means airbag.

    Yeah, poor phrasing on my part. The point there (propaganda or not) is that in an accident, should the bumper become an issue with insurance, that claim by ARB could be very helpful.

    53 hours calgary-halifax, all canada, no speeding in my Tacoma.

    You cutting through the states? The exchange rate may ruin the cost savings though...

    Gas was around $1k plus McDonald's and subway. Keep in mind my truck is terrible on fuel too, 400-500kms per tank

    Clutch was supposed to be here yesterday, so it should be here any time now! I'm excited to get started on my wheels so I can get the new tires mounted and cut what needs to be cut.

    What do you guys think of a trail run some time in March?
