Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Approaching 70k on the Tacoma - driveline and drivetrain will be changed then.

Will also likely change the belt and spark plugs (oh joy). The battery has been showing corrosion lately, so it may need replacing going into winter.

 

Unless your brake lines are getting bad you may not need to change them. Check them after when you're done with springs and hangers. I didn't need to change them until I did the shock relocation with longer shocks.

 

ALSO

My engine bay





Cleanest fluid exchange in the shop, dirtiest engine bay by several miles....

 

I believe that's referred to as having 'character'...a lot of it.

 

100%, sir

 

I'm all about "Character".

 

Just turn 112k miles on my 2013. At 100k between myself and local mechanic plugs, all fluids, except brake were changed. After the next pipeline trip the plan is, alignment,balance and drive belt.

 

~82K on my '19 4Runner. Lots of weekend road trips.

Mine appears to have been on the same trails!

 

Trans isn’t too bad. Manual is easy. Auto you just overfill, put in temp check mode and open the overflow

 

You just need to drive through some cleaner puddles instead of drowning it in mud holes

 

Exactly. This is why I drive the 4Runner through the Chippewa River every couple of weeks.

 

Ouch...

 

WE have all sorts of character's in here!

 

My dude knows what's up

He's good

Winched a few out of that mess the other week

 

Anybody looking for a 2wd pickup? '85, one owner, 18,000 miles! Clean, original tires, it looked like.

 

They probably want a pretty penny for that

 

Looks like they're asking $7925. If I had it laying around, I'd probably go buy it.
