PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

6 or 7 out of 10...

7-8 out of 10 once you upgrade the stereo system!

 

My neighbor hid the dashcam wire...

 

@PennSilverTaco, this is what I mean.


I have nothing connected into the outlet, nor anything inside the cubby hole. I keep my FM transmitter, and charger inside the cubby hole next to the steering wheel.

 

That's a GPS cord on the left, and two dashcams and a cell phone charger on the right...

 

Maybe it doesn't bother you, but it bugs the fuck out of me, because my mom, and my bro have a shit ton of cords choking the shift knob on their cars.

Took my truck to the dealer today for a no-charge follow up and they found the leak...

It's in the evaporator coil, and the expansion valve will need to be replaced as well. Total cost including evacuation and recharge is about $1,600! Luckily, my dad will be helping me out on this one!

 

They took me back into the shop, gave me a pair of special glasses, and showed me the leak...

 

@El Duderino

I told my boss about this thing with the A/C, and she said she would have gotten another truck...

My boss doesn't seem to realize how valuable a Tacoma, especially a low-mileage RC Tacoma, is!

 

Love regular cabs. If you’re was a 4x4 I would be very very very happy. I miss my regular cab. Now I have a family and shit lol.

 

So you're with me on replacing the evap core?

 

I forget...

Is yours a stick shift or a slushbox?

 

Regretfully mine is automatic. I wanted a manual, have had a lot of them. But our traffic is so bad and my wife can’t drive stick. So I got an auto.

 

And you're with me on replacing the evap core?

 

I thought the like was implied lol

 

Next thing on the list is replacing the rear bumper...

I could pay about $500 to get my current bumper stripped and repainted, or I could get a new rear bumper from @Mobtown Offroad for less than the price of a new OEM bumper. Current bumper on my truck is an "aftermarket" bumper paid for by my insurance company when I was hit by a drunk driver back in 2015. It has has a dent in it and is covered in about a layer and a half of PlastiDip...

 

You know what my vote is. Plus it’s 15% off currently.

 

Ive also decided that I'd rather ship here then drive 2 hours to Baltimore. No tax, plus even with shipping it is cheaper than an OEM bumper. I also just started a new job and I'm not going to have time for a trip to Maryland...

So that's like $750-$800?

 

We are moving to Delaware in a month. Bumpers are 15% off so whatever that comes to with the options you choose.

 

Your truck doesn’t need armor lol. Just redo the bumper.

 

I will talk this over with my dad!
