Hi Scott, I'd like to buy your safe. Where in NorCal are you? I'm in the San Ramon Valley, east of Oakland. Jonathan [email protected]

My 2006 Tacoma (silver TRD Offroad MT, just like my 2024) had the same short shift from 1st to 2nd. It was very irritating back in 2006. It still is, but I think it's designed to be that way so that 1st is low enough for those times that you had a full load in the bed, or when your are towing...

It took 12 full months for me to find my MT TRD Offroad. I contacted many dealers, put a deposit down on one that a dealer said he had coming, only to find out that he just made that shit up. At least I got my deposit back. Finally, after 12 months of searching, I noticed on the Toyota web...

I've never owned an automatic transmission vehicle. That's nine motorcycles and eight four wheeled vehicles. I know how to change gears and have never needed to change a clutch, ever. There are a few unique situations where you may "need" to abuse a clutch, but I mostly avoid those...

17s all the way for the last 35 years.

mmnnnn, hmmnnn

Yes, and if you do a "rolling stop", which has become the standard here in California, skip 1st and just put it into 2nd and gently release the clutch. As long as you are still rolling at about 10 mph, it's smooth and easy, just don't give it too much gas until you gain some RPMs. j.

I've never owned an automatic transmission vehicle of any type, motorcycle or four wheeled vehicle. This one had a little bit different timing and engagement point, but once I learned that, it's been smooth shifting ever since. I'm liking it as much or better than my 18 year old 2006 Tacoma...

Push her seat further back?

I've owned motorcycles of various makes and sizes for 45 years. I do all maintenance on all my bikes and my wife's Vespa as well. I flush and bleed all brakes annually. I've never used anything other than the master cylinder to flush and bleed any brakes, but you obviously have a major failure...

Wait a moment, are you really comparing GM engines to Toyota truck engines? Seriously, they shouldn't be discussed on the same web forum.

Uhhmmnnn . . . why do you need a kit?

Wow! I don't know which I am more impressed with, your design skills or your fab and welding skills! Thanks for sharing your project, j.

Looks like good work to me (very experienced EE) with a small exception which I am pretty sure that you have covered already. You probably don't allow any loose loads in the bed of your truck. j.

Did you figure out what you were doing wrong? j.

I still have 7 or 8 months of free app use, but since I noticed that I don't actually use the app anyways, I deleted it.

Very nice camping setup! j.

I have limited information, but here it is: The manual transmission Tacomas do not have the sound "enhancement". I learned that when I tried to delete it with Carista. That enhanced sound "feature" does not exist on manual transmission vehicles. You can delete it with Carista, and probably...

I'll take 'em. Where & when? I'm in the San Ramon Valley, south of Walnut Creek. Jonathan

Yeah, I've noticed that this bulletin board allows "sponsors" to hijack posts. That is unacceptable on all of the bulletin boards that I have been a member of and contributed to for decades. We'll see if I am allowed to criticize the website without being banned. j.
