Thanks

Thanks, I plan on moving it before I mount my next set of tires.

Good idea. We are looking for a good shop locally that can work on it.

Me too. :) I have yet to balance a tire yet. Apparently, there are no real instructions on how to calibrate it.

They work awesome ive had these two machines for a very long time. love them

That's the best

​@@oisforoffroad true asmr

I wish I had this comment before I started fabing up the mount. I didn't even think about this. Thanks for the idea. I'll think about how I can modify things.

@@oisforoffroad For a drag car as far back as possible would be the way to go for weight transfer. You want your Vette to change directions quickly. Low moment of inertia is the goal.

@2manyturbos Great point. I totally should have been thinking about that. This will be the first of maybe many little mistakes I'm going to make, but I'm happy to be learning while making progress.

Thanks, Most definitely going big. I only hope I don't break something putting together this engine. I look forward to Shake and Bake hitting the road.

I've got allot of learning to get it back together but I'm working on it.

Thanks. It's been a rough few months but I'm 3 days into working on the car and really making progress.

Me too.

Good idea. I don't know if I'd see it when whiping the wheel back and forth. But maybe id feel it.

Thanks, Glow plugs were since replaced. It's better but still randomly does this. Block heater pulls amps and warms the black but maybe.

Reviewing the logistics of that

Funny thing is my wife really wants to buy it even more than me, but she just bought the brand new Tacoma so it's a bad time to spend that much money.

My grinder says you're too late.

@oisforoffroad. I'm not as active as I should be though.

@@oisforoffroad Thank you!

I'd go for it. You can always put the emblems back on with new 3m tape and order new stickers. But it will look better and more unique without them.

@@oisforoffroad great advice and in the meantime, I’ll keep the badging just in case when the truck has mechanical problems then I’ll glue them back on and hawk it off to the next buyer/owner. 👍🏻👌🏻

@deantrainr Good plan. I always keep everything from a new truck. I have a storage tote for each of my vehicles with all their stock parts in them including the window stickers so I can literally put the vehicle back to the day I bought it.

@@oisforoffroad yes, myself as well. Not planning on keeping this new disposable/throwaway Tacoma for too long anyway; especially when the engine, transmission, and/or the hybrid system tanks out on me.

Work gave me a 2022 Toyota Highlander hybrid. That was the most unsafe and horrible vehicle I'd ever had the displeasure of using. That is why our Tacoma is not the hybrid version. We have an extended warranty so we are good for years.

So I should put Ford badges on it then ? :)

@@oisforoffroad you could at least Ford is replacing them engines with crate engines. Toyota on the other hand is asking 28k for engine repair and its not even replacing the entire engine.

Awesome, I have 112 miles on mine now. Just got all the windows tinted and it's great. Haven't towed yet but looking forward to it.

That's a great idea, I should have used that.

The truck has a whole 103 miles on it, doing fine.

@@oisforoffroad Sweet i hope you dont have issues im hearing more and more about trucks under 2k miles having issues GL!!!!!

Thanks. Whatever happens I'll have videos about it.

@@oisforoffroad Cant wait to see!

I have 3000 miles and my transmission shifts great.

It has a sun roof and We specifically ordered it with the small screen. The large screen gets in the way and there isn't anything really important on it.

@@oisforoffroad oh ok. I’ve seen a lot of off-roads with the upgrade package and so much extra that you might as well have the premium package

mine is a long bed and the big screen. they are pretty easy to find. got one on anohter tab just under 43k. i might wait til the 25's come out idk. they are so expensive.

@jameskocks4734 I thought the 25's only come with the hybrid engine setup? That's why we got the 24 and not the pro or limited. Yes, they are expensive.

Good choice. If we didn't need a long bed it would have changed our decision.

A Toyota engineer stated that the engine was designed and engineered to commercial duty truck standards.

It grows more each time I buy a vehicle.

Agreed. This is better than the hybrid engine in the TRD pro and limiteds but it would be allot better with a v6. Truck prices are out of hand.

I aagree

There is a good motor in it. The best that they ever put in a tacoma. They tested this motor 3 years ago and put 350,000 km on it with no problems in the desert they drove it hard for 3years . That wy they put it in production for the 2024 tacoma. Valve had hardly to carbon on them.

My 91 Toyota pickup had been abused for years and it still did awesome. The transmission let it down after 285k miles of hard-core offloading.

Yep. We get one on every new vehicle.

That's what warranties are for. We bought this partially so my wife can tow her own race car on my open trailer. It will be right at the weight limit so if anyone is going to melt a trans, it will be us. Ill make a video.

I hope that doesn't happen but you never know. That is one of the risks of buying a new vehicle.

Thanks. She really likes it so far. Both of us were shocked that we liked it in white, we both normally don't like white vehicles but we didnt like the dark colors and Orange wasn't available. We shocked ourselves with how good it looks in white. Its also a good color to Plasti dip or wrap to change later. Enjoy your Tacoma !

@oisforoffroad yes this is my first color in white l never have had a car or pickup in white before but it was the only color they had in stock at that time but I don't mind the color it's growing I me now

I looked at the Frontier and it was cheaper but we didn't like the way it looked and we needed a long bed. The real vehicle we wanted was a Porsche Macan GTS but didn't want a $90+k work vehicle so the $50k Tacoma was cheap by comparison.

@@oisforoffroad Nice. I had a 3rd gen trd off road 4x4 and sold it after a year. What a horrible vehicle that was.
