Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Sounds fun

 

Had to make a trail side repair today… and by that I mean a random harbor freight parking lot



CarPlay kept randomly disconnecting. Swapped the cable and didn’t make a difference. Seemed to happen on random bumps or pot holes so figured something had to be loose. Taped the usb connection together in the dash and seems to be fine now.

trim removal tools are now going in my tool bag.

 

We had enough sense to bring insulated bibs. (Doesn't matter to you. You were in shorts all week. Made me cold just watching.) There is no inclement weather.....just inappropriate clothing. The beers and whiskey were flowing and I was doing my boomer thing. I found the snow fall enchanting. My altered state may have affected my judgement, but it was a good time.

 

I did the same thing for mine a while back. I had to make brackets to keep the traction boards under the tonneau.


downside is having to get to the front of the bed when you need them.

 

Can confirm, having to get them from the front is annoying

 

Wanted to share a resource with you hooligans that I've enjoyed.

In the event you guys need OEM parts, check out McGeorge Toyota based out of Virginia:

https://toyotaparts.mcgeorgetoyota.com/

My experience with them has been great. Top notch customer service, massive inventory, and quick shipping. They have sales throughout the year (one is live now, 30% off).

Carry on!

 

ditto, I used L brackets to drop them below the bed cover..

 

What I did at work today.. learned how the kia boys hijack kias... now I want to ask a coworker who has a kia... if I can try it, the non destructive grab and pull method. aka remove trim and pop the ignition cover off way.. so it can be put back together....

 

I got home from work today and damn, my gas tank skid fell off! Right there in the driveway!! Perfect timing to put the steelie on!

 

Amazing how that can happen....

 

Love the Midwest..

 

I don't think he checked your records. If he did, he would've thought you were a drug dealer, because of all the vehicles you've had over the past few years.

In need of a new set of tires for the Tacoma and snagged a set of the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/Ts; seem to be a good all around compromise and fine for highway miles.

Install is set for Saturday - if anyone's interested I'll give my first impressions.

 

Very interested! I've had my eye on those for a while, just can't justify pulling the trigger yet. What size did you go with? I don't know much about your Taco and if it's lifted or anything.

 

Just one size up, so 265/75 r16 - the Taco is mostly stock now (suspension is all stock). There's a $100 rebate and good availability, plus my Blizzaks need to come off, so it was a good time to make the change.
