    Selling / Trading 2013

    You're absolutely right. However it does solve a spousal perception problem which is where the issue originated. Happy wife - happy life!

    Selling / Trading 2013

    SOLD! (Ended up trading it into Schomp BMW.) They gave me one hell of a deal on it and the tax implications of trade vs sell made it worthwhile.

    I'll get them up this afternoon once I've cleaned it all up. It's a bit dusty right now.

    Selling / Trading 2013

    I've mentioned I spend half of my life out of the country and my cruiser sits in the garage of my house on a battery tender. My wife's been giving me so much grief about it that I'm finally relenting and selling the truck. On the fence on whether to trade it in or to sell it privately. The...

    Failed Door Lock Actuator R&R

    Hooray! Glad my crap directions were useful! The left rear one is in the midst of giving up the ghost however the truck remains mostly stationary in my garage these days. Flying home from my 9th trip to Europe this year.

    red top optima issues

    Add another to the party. I travel globally for work and my 200 sits for a few weeks at a time. It's flat as can be in my garage right now. Going to have to get that sorted today since not even an optima charger / tender solves the problem.

    Drum brakes on Tacoma??

    Mostly ease of build/simplicity. Disc-brake e-brakes are often a smaller drum inside the disc (this is how it works on the 200-series.) Other disc brakes actually actuate the brake shoes either electronically or hydraulically to hold on the disc.

    Decision, decisions

    Oh yeah, I love mine and I don't live in a 'necessarily' hot location. Nothing like NWA or those of you in TX. (Born, raised, and left Austin)

    Awesome. I love my '13 but damn if that '16 isn't sexy. Fortunately I'm too poor this year to trade up!

    Decision, decisions

    I have a 13 which is very similar to a 15. The '11 has a DVD-based nav (instead of HDD) and a slightly older version of Entune. Gauge cluster internally is different as well as the front end. (HID headlights with LEDs for 13+.) There are also some differences in front suspension as well as 5...

    Drum brakes on Tacoma??

    Meh. 80+% of braking comes from the fronts. Speaking of wood brakes... http://www.cablecarmuseum.org/the-brakes.html

    I love my black on black and give it a hand wax quarterly. It has a few trail stripes but that's what it's made for.

    Rooftop Tents for 200-series

    Factory for now but if we go RTT, it'll definitely be aftermarket. 150#+ RTT plus my 205# is too heavy for the factory rack.
