This sucks..... My 12 taco came from the factory with its driveline out of balance.... it did not show its true colors in till about 15 k in... it took WAAAAAY more talking from my end but they finally took care of it. I agree with the above statements about time for an outside shop. What it...

Medcine is constantly changing, a lot of what we think we know has now been proven to be not true... To be blunt, your asking the wrong question, it is not what have WE seen but what MIGHT YOU have to deal with .... As an urban EMT, and a WEMT ( wilderness emt) I have seen a lot. When I am...

tanglefoot, it is all goooood. I am a sucker for all things toyota, knew that we were getting our self into a bit of a project, but thats ok. Hoping to get a good two or three years out of it and pass it along to some one else in need of a decent little 4x4. and thanks for the reference...

Hi all, Been on the search for a third car/ back up rig/ snow truck for me and the lady friend for well over a year now. I have used this forum several times to float ideas around and I am ever grateful for all of the wisdom that has been shared. Not to mention the over all general willing...

Sadly, I am stuck with an auto. The primary driver will be the lady I need something for her to drive in the snow. Last winter we bought a beater with a heater off a local farmer 90 s-10 blazer sport. it was a total hunk of junk but i knew that. the heater worked and the 4x4 worked and it had...

Thanks for all of the responses, I went and looked at the 4 runner today and here are some updates 1. the truck seems to be in decent shape with the exception of an oil leak from the oil pan gasket. roughly 1/2 quart every thosand miles or so... but who reall knows 2. the truck appears to...

Thanks for the response. if the truck is as described, I plan on taking it to the toyota dealership for exactly what you mentioned. I have to admit that I am not looking for a lot of power, I am looking for a drop dead reliable truck. Thanks for the pointer on the 1996 I will research that...

So the toyota land cruiser that first brought me to this sight never ended up happening mostly because it would have been a rig for the lady, and as a DD the 80 just was not going to cut it. and she hated it, at the time a lot of you wise folks told me to look at the 4 runner, time has passed...

food for thought its an ambulance, and while those miles are not high, I promise they were hard earned miles As an EMT I know how much abuse our rigs get, I would never buy one used. They some times run around the clock, high speeds, heavy loads, lots and lots of work for the motor not to...

x2 for just plain avvoidance... I have spent many a night in bear land with nothing between me and them but a tent. Education and good camping ethics work better then any device and for what its worth there are plenty of real life stories out there that say bear spray works better then a...

stay away from it. if you look longer you can find a better truck for the same if not much more. thats a lot of miles and sure it will go a lot more. but think of it this way. Toyota sells brand new 4x4 trucks for just over 20 k sure they are regular cab but the point is you have a truck...

looking sharp. Good luck with this build, I had the chance to jump on an 80 last winter with only a hundred fifty k on it.... low miles for these rigs these days. been kicking my self ever sense.... so for now its just the taco. this is a nice looking truck, looking forward to seeing where it...

Have you considered a snorkel? the last thing you want is a hydro lock really refreshing to see something diffenert out there nice pictures so far, loving the beer / wood splitting shot I have a buddy that welded metal tabs onto the side of his truck bed for racks then put his topper on...

I have a 2012 4 cyl 2.7 five speed regular cab I run a decent set of agressive AT's in stock size with an ARE mid height topper that has bars... With bars on i get 20, with out, about 22 and that is sitting at about 70 MPH some times higher some times lower i get 19 MPG just putzing around...

Hi all, I wanted to share what I have been dealing with at my local dealership as of recent. Context: The truck. 2012 Tacoma Regular Cab 2.7 five speed 4x4 the " mods" ARE MX topper with racks stock size Hankook Danapro ATM's 10 ply Bought after blowing out two of the dungflops after...

I think that this is a great topic. With that being said I think that it is an even better Segway for what we should be really talking about, and that is training. How many of us go off into the middle of now where relying on our rigs to do all of the work for us when the poop hits the whirly...

Thanks for all of the Help! Websites like this have proven their weight in gold time and time again for me. I have not made up my mind but Now i know what to be looking for. There is also a decent toyota shop in the area that i can fall back on for the inspection. What it will come down to for...
