I know of no way to correlate a tag number to someone's address without being in law enforcement.
I had a 97 4x4 Tacoma I sold years ago and had two titles for it for some reason. I went looking for the spare a few months ago and asked someone I know that works for home land security to look it up by vin. He told me it was still on the road and told me the city it’s in but wouldn’t give me any other info due to being against the law.
 
Finally got my AC condenser mounted up. Now just to figure out the plumbing between it and the evaporator, then wiring and then I can finally be cool :cool:
Going into winter here but still 27°C in the day and probably around 35 in the cab of the cruiser :oops:

That thought crossed my mind, however the balancer is quite wobbly. Just bought a new one.
Can I ask where you found a new one? I was looking a few months ago and struck out until I found a used one on here.

I got mine Sept 2022 on RockAuto - PB1053N is the balancer I got ($280 - ish - good grief they upped the price since Sept 2022) They are made in Australia and I figure they love their 40's down under - so that is why I went with PB

Looks like PB1051N would be for the PIG - not 100% - yeah RockAuto out - Amazon seems to indicate they have that model (if correct - and the price is about the same as what RA is now saying I would pay 2 week later ? WTF)

Went to a car show. It was horrible. They parked my next to a heep. Ruined the whole thing for me.

The other 40 belongs to the museum that organizes it. I think it’s a ‘73 and seems in great condition. They can’t get the fuel door open though! Tried my key but no luck.

driven it. 70,000 miles is just a few miles away and its only been a few years since the odometer over to 000000.00.......and looking back through pix...makes for just about 100k since 2014 when it returned to the road.
