Orange County CAF's: up to no good

The biggest change should be spark. You are probably coil pack while 00 and newer is coil on plug. o2 sensor changed to afr sensor, but don't think that is until 02. It just an easy double check to see if your stuff looks the same. Mechanical is just about all the same.

 

What's the difference between coil pack and coil on plug? Sorry if this is a dumb question but all the cars I work use old fashioned spark plugs so I have no clue

 

Coil pack gives juice to plugs through one coil.
C.o.p. is just that. Each spark plug has its very own coil to keep.

 

This man got to it first. I'll just add a bit more detail behind it. The coil packs on the toyota fire off 2 spark plugs. My coil pack fires for 1&4 and 2&3. They both fire at the same time too. So the spark plug actually fires twice every cycle like a 2 stroke, but while one is getting ready to fire the fuel air the other is just firing again inside the used exhaust leaving the motor.

Ecu sends out only 2 control wires for my 4cyl, but 4 control wires for COP. 3 and 6 respectively for a 6cyl. So you ECU plugs are different between the years.

 

You listen to D. Theater, never would of thought. I have only heard a few songs from them l shall listen on.

 

Like the avatar man!

 

That "I" know, not too many people know about them which is said... very talented group for sure!!!

 

Already missed this post thanks @TXpro4X4 and @WileECoyote I got new music now for my playlist at work.

 

Hope you like them Mike? I don't know too much of their "latest" stuff though, but either case, great music. How my ears "hear" it, sorta like christian rock, if you will. However one hears it though, just really good insturmentals, lyrics, and voice!!! Again, hope you like it?!

Btw, if you listent to the lyrics for "Wait for Sleep", VERY DEEEEEP lyrics and the instrumental is PERFECT for the lyrics!!!

 

First time I've heard of them actually. They sound good so they get added to my list. That is about how far the complexity of my music knowledge goes.

 

Glad you like them Mike

 

Okay here comes photo/vid dump part 1. This was Saturday when I was rolling alone on the lower half of 3n16 and other roads out there for the first time since @goblue82 ditched me for Cleghorn

First few pictures come from some little mesa thing off of the upper part of 3n16. There was a gate there but it was unlocked so I just casually pushed through it





Next is a crappy video taken by my passenger while on 3n16. Not sure if I should him for being dumb enough to stick his phone out the window like that when we're flying on a pretty bumpy road or for managing to not drop it

Here's a random rough patch after mostly smooth road where you get some nice Tundra flex action and some 3 wheeling




After that we found some little boring offshoot that is only good for pictures and if you want to do some crazy hill climb thatms better suited for short vehicles like FJs

Old Toyota ad or Kyle trying to make a beat up truck look cool?


The ditch @Dangerousd1987 mentioned

Another offshoot with a nice view




Water crossing time!



Safe to say water came on the hood...

Can see the headlights and bow wave now

Finally getting out of the water

Man lots of water coming out of the truck

It's still pouring...

When will it stop?!

What was left of my license plate after the crossing


I'll make the 2nd part of Saturday part 2. I feel like this post is already way too long

 

you are one crazy man...

 

So I've been told. There is more crazy to come

 

@kyle11863 Kyle, I recognize those ruts/ditch on the side of the road or at least ones very similar!!! Yeah, if you are NOT careful looking out for them, your suspension will HIT HARD!!! That was my realistic first experience with offroading, LOL!!! I didn't do it on purpose, just didn't see the damn thing come up on me so quickly is what happened. I mean the road is fairly "flat" for the most part and then all of a SUDDEN... BAMMMMMM!!! W...T...F...!!! Started paying closer attention after that, LOL!!! I "lived" and most definitely "learned" from that experience, LOL!!!

Nice pictures!!!

 

What happens though if the Tundra breaks!?You and your fam have to have some vehicles in motion obviously!

 

1 final down: 2 to go. UGHH!!! Luckily the next one is easy as it's just about automatic transmissions but, the one after that... I do not look forward to, it's my algebra final. I suck at maths.

On a side note, a buddy decided he needed to be way more injured than me from mountain biking over the weekend. A jump didn't go according to plan and when he hit the ground, his handlebar impaled his inner thigh and broke his pelvis. He also broke his wrist. I saw the x-Ray of the wrist and it has a titanium plate like my arm but I haven't seen how badly his pelvis was broken. Crazy shit.

Also, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING OC! Haha

 

Where you going for school and are you getting an associates for automotive?

 

Hi everyone
First day of work, was stressed, I'm quite tired, annoyed that now they took all the time I was going to use to work on my accounting class, now I'm most likely going to have to repeat the class, anddddddd..... idk hahaha My dad demands I not work 8 hours on school days, which is probably a good idea since it takes me more time than others to study & do homework . We'll see
One thing this job taught me is to work harder in school so I dont end up at a job like this in the future

Also Kyle suggested the idea of a 1st gen Tundra as a cheap trail rig, any opinions people?
Tundras are iffy to me since they changed the models quite often, also I know gas isnt great.... especially after a lift or tires (even though it's better than my curent mpg :/ )
