Ontario BS Thread

It depends on which one is buying the ticket. There's one that doesn't know about the others. So technically one person.

 

Traffic is so nice now downtown Toronto. I'm working at Queens Quay and Jarvis and the area is dead. Gardner flows at all hours and there aren't many people walking around since a lot of the offices are closed.

 

My new (to me), skids. I was looking for skids, but wasn't totally ready to pull the trigger and then @Shveet messaged me about this deal on Kijiji, after I was asking about his skids. Good dude @Shveet . The whole package was a smoking good deal, too good to pass up. Unfortunately, a distress sale for the previous owner. I felt bad.

 

Glad to hear you got the skids, you gotta tell us how the OKX plates hold up since i think you're the first of the group here with them hopefully they should hold up just fine. Just remember, even with skids you're not invincible so don't go plowing up a mountain side and through @daks house.

also from the photo, are those also LCA skids??

 

I am a total noob, and this truck has to last me basically until I die, so no ego drives for this cowboy. I need to understand how all this Wheelin' shit works! The skids look great, solidly built, and yes those are LCA skids they were included in the deal, seriously good deal right!. Saved me over $500 bucks. @Shveet , I owe you a beer, or two... I hope one day to pay my debt.

 

So my dad got one of these dividers when he bought the truck, but i cant seem to find the end brackets to mount it. Anyone know what they look like? I also cant seem to find any markings on it for a part number.


Also skid plates are basically a challenge, can you break stuff through them. On my golf the answer was "the oil pan will survive, but the engine mounts wont"

 

The instruction sheet doesn't have replacement part numbers: https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/resources/installation/TPD/18_my12 tacoma bed cargo divider issa.pdf

Call the dealer parts counter and see if they carry them?

 

Doubtful

I tried with my tonneau cover when I broke the clip that's meant to keep it open etc. It was fixed under warranty and only way was order new one.

They don't tend try sell individual parts of the accessories.

 

MT or AT?

 

1st gen, so it lacks a cabin filter

 

Looks like MT from his signature.

 

Yes it's a manual transmission. It has been a good truck I've owned it for almost 10 years. It has been hiding in the garage from the salt the last six weeks. I just changed out all the gear boxes and tranny fluid's.

 

if you ever change your mind. Call me first lol

 

That works for me, i wasn't sure how it attached. I'll just replicate those brackets.

Thanks!

 

Go to my build page, I have pictures there

 

If you don’t mind pushing some paper, you can import similar trucks from the southern US, and relatively speaking they’re not expensive, compared to a new one. Some are in incredible condition.

 

Or push more paper and import a Hilux from Mexico. 15-year rule means 2005 and earlier Hiluxes are eligible with reduced red tape.

 

Parked next to two RAV4s today at work - same mirror design

 

What is this? The 3JOH22A parking thread?

Cuz you're a contender there lol
