  1. They don't rust but they do rot. My first MGA let me know that in grad school. Coming up to red light with a huge puddle of water in the lane. Leg was straight to depress clutch. Water came thru the gap and straight up the pant leg - almost to the crotch. That will wake you up in a hurry
  2. Timed out before pictures
  3. Getting real close to finish line. The carpet is in. They also let me know that transmission parts finally showed up and the rebuilt transmission is perfect. We are still waiting for what is called the front cockpit rail. It runs on the top of the dash. Hopefully soon and then it is finished. The rail is backordered howsoever. Those seats are the ones we had made in 1980 and still look good.
  4. No idea if they did this on that generation of Tacoma but it is pretty common in Toyota and others. See if they put a transmission cooler in radiator. It's common and works until one of the line fails. You then get the strawberry milkshake and a new transmission. Easy fix is to replace with a new radiator and trnasmission hoses before it happen, Usually ten years but at least check. Also unless you have records then just do the brake fluid.
  5. Transfers and differentials are very easy. just pull the fill plug FIRST... Only issue was the village idiot that designed the fill plug on the front diff of my 01 4Runner. Einstein used a plug with hex insert instead of a six sided plug. Almost impossible to get enough space to pull down and remove it since it was hidden by frame. Had to get it way up on ramps first.
  6. Urban legend says there are hundreds of those in some warehouse in Europe
  7. I have my grandfathers Elgin pocket watch and pocket knife in a shadowbox on the wall
  8. Until I went to battery mine was twice per year at least.
  9. Good grief - some of us are old enough to remember when the compact pickups topped out at about 100HP. Anything today is about 3x that so unless you plan on towing a huge amount - get the Tacoma. Also get off my yard
  10. I think Honda is going thru class action lawsuits on the same thing. Apparently white paint is a mess now
  11. I was reading about that chase. Legendary Jim Hickman drove it.He also was the driver of black Charger in Bullitt. The article mentioned that the director did not have new York's permission to film a chase but did it anyway. Wow
  12. Not easily. IIRC they did not fire all of them since some did not walk out. They backfilled with military controllers. I remember reading somewhere that it took over 2 years to get new ones out the pipeline.
  13. Locked all of that around 2017 and have never unlocked it
  14. According to my yellow health card I got MMR in 2012 before India. I had to look it up so I can state that there was no molten lead feeling since i did not recall getting it until this week
  15. Correct. Not sure when it ended but 1980 (Magic vs Doctor J) definitely was a 10:30 showing for the final game. Took Bird and Magic entering the NBA to get finals to prime time
  16. Old school 240Z really says Hi - even if it was Datsun
  17. Reminds me of the mid 90's and what I called the Ultimate Ringer at work. It was a women who played on LPGA tour before joining the company. Right away you had someone in your scramble foursome who could outdrive almost anyone and got to tee of from the ladies tees in the scramble. Tough combo.
  18. and who is responsible for emptying those? asking for a friend
  19. Well Michael Vick comes to mind then...
  20. I am sure you also remember when CBS broadcast NBA finals on tape delay at 10:30pm
  21. Not convinced that the Warriors is a gangster film
  22. Casino and Scarface
  23. Mainly the twin turbo V6 on the larger 22/23 models.
  24. Like that State Farm commercials with the dollar bills and the fishing pole. Keep snatching it away
  25. It's been about ten years but I paid about 100 each for OEM shocks. I did the rears myself buth te fronts were coilover so I paid the garage about 250 for both. 2001 4Runner. Didn;t have to add coils and a few years time but still way lower
