Interesting article. I'm sure it's a difficult thing to model since EMP's aren't created all that often. It mentioned that the EMP commission study found that only 1 out of 50 cars would be permanently disabled by an EMP, so may not be that big of a deal.
Have any fellow preparedness minded "tin foil hat" 100 series owners thought about how their 100 series would handle a potential EMP jolt (whether purposeful or deliberate)? I'm wondering if there are a list of sensors or items that would be worth keeping on hand if that were to happen, or if...
I’m about ready to buy new tires. I’ve worn out a set of KO2’s, 275/70/18, tundra wheels, spider trax spacers with 2.5” lift, spare in the OEM location.
I’m debating on sticking with the 275’s or upsizing to 305/65/18 or 295/70/18.
They’re $500 more than the 275’s for a set of 5, I’m also...
The similar issue I had (stiff at 10 and 2)came back. Turned out it was rusty/crusty crap built up in the little universal joint at the end of the shaft before it attaches to the steering rack. I soaked it a few times with penetrating oil, hit it with a wire brush and the problem went away. Hope...
I just replaced the driver side door lock actuator. Everything went smooth except the white plastic keeper broke. Does anyone know if this is a stand alone part I can get oem, or so I have to go to autozone or eBay for a generic connector?
the passenger side is the easy side (4-5hrs), driver side is what takes the most time. I did the DT headers and fought with some rusty studs (ended up replacing all but 1, which I had planned to do), 17hrs of work. I had to disconnect the motor mount and jack the engine up on the driver side...
The other day my brakes started pulsing as if the rotors are warped. To me this usually indicates it's time to do the brakes, turn or replace the rotors and move on. However, the pulsing while braking doesn't happen every time, which leads me to believe it could be coming from somewhere else...
I used some knocker loose, but any penetrating oil would likely work. It's still running smooth. I have a can of CRC aerosol grease that I want to try on it for a longer term coating, but I'll want to get right up next to it (pull the skid plate off or tire/skirt). With the penetrating oil I...
I have three 18" wheels/tires off a 2017 Tundra. Tires are pretty low on tread, Michelen 265/75/18. I' picked up the set so I could grab one as a spare for my new tundra set.
$100 each
$260 for all three
Oregon City/Clackamas area
I have one showing up for my 2003 LX with electric tilt.
Part number verified by the dealership: 45280-60610
Screws (if you're replacing the whole assembly: 45873-60010
The 60510 PN is for the pre 03. Based on videos it looks like the housing flipped between 02 to 03. The button to remove...
If I didn’t have CarPlay in my wife’s car I probably would have been happy with the BT45. They both work well, the from is a bit more buggy but they’re constantly updating it. The BT45 is pretty simple as it just does the Bluetooth and does it well. Just depends on what you want. You get more...
