That'll buff right out

 

Ah sure. Only shot I have of her that's not in someone's driveway.

(Feel free to crop as needed)

Or this one:

 

that’s what I was thinking

I can’t find parts so
I’m gonna try and see if I can re use what I have she won’t be pretty but it will work to get me from point A to point B and every other letter

 

I had a '69 ford cortina once that I crashed into a bull (long story) - couldn't get parts so I junked it and I've always regretted that.

Not that the cortina was a super desirable ride but it was a classic and chicks dug it

 

It took me so long to get this truck and to only have it for 3 years
If I can’t get the parts I need which only being cosmetic then I’ll most likely part it out
I’m gonna take it all apart this weekend and figure out if I can save these parts or if I am forced to change them

 

have you checked out car-part.com?
I just did a search on Fender, and found some in the Fredericton / Saint-John area in junk yards.

 

no I havnt thank you never knew that existed

the junk yard I called wanted to sell me brand new parts

edit - after looking saint john has a white Tacoma ..ill call them today hopefully they don't want both my legs to

 

NP,
I've been using them looking for AC compressor pumps. I seen a few articles / youtubes on converting them to On board air setups when I was all jelly over @Canoehead ARB OBA setup.

 

another not bad idea

I think I'm just gonna buy another set of mirrors for 200 really that's all I need to pass a safty next yr and to be able to have it on the road now until I'm upgrade to the 2021 or 20

ill probably keep er as a strictly woods truck

 

The biggest PIA with the AC compressor as a OBA compressor is the fact that its not technically a closed system, and those swasher pumps need a good amount of oil.

 

Let me see if I can find the article, sounds like folks are just jamming the grease in there and crossing their fingers. With the electro clutch, it only runs for short times..... Wanna discuss over coffee? or some Pew Pew's?

 

I wanna pew pew. Ive got a rifle to sight in.

 

I have very little free time until after Christmas! Would have to be a Monday or Friday evening, but I'm game for coffee!

 

Hey guys, I'm new to TW, not so new to NS... I usually get work done at the shop near work here in Halifax but I've got so many issues (power steering, brakes, exhaust) flaring up suddenly I'd really like to take my Tacoma to someone who knows these trucks fairly well.. Any shops do Toyota around here like the Old Volks Home does VW, or Jeff Dunsworth does Volvo..?

 

Welcome!
would you like to try and do it yourself?

Myself and others have done brakes many times, we can definitely help out there.

what's up with the power steering?
Exhaust leaks? we talkin pin holes or big nasty leaks that give you headaches from driving it?

 

Just think of the sweet mods you can do with all the cash you save.....

 

Wondering if any of my fellow Nova Scotians have been buying any OEM parts and accessories from Toyota Dealers south of the border.Which dealer do you use,any shipping issues..etc?The prices down there,including the exchange rate is very tempting.

 

If I need an OEM part, I generally use Toyota Parts Direct, but I've ordered stuff from the states and it came relatively close to the same price as buying it local.

 

I've checked out that site but don't have much luck with it.I just bought a 2020 Tacoma and it seems their parts look up only goes to 2013.I'm interested in TRD Pro wheels and lighting etc..

 

you may have luck hunting around on the Buy and Sell part of this forum, there is a Canadian section.
I've had nothing but good experiences with buy from TW.com members.

if you had a part number, perhaps you could search TPD for that number.
