  1. 6MT 1st gear throw not engaging

    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.
  2. Manual Transmission, first to second without iMT, smooth shift impossible?

    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...
  3. Front Passenger Accidentally Pressing Hazard Lights Button

    Push her seat further back?
  4. Can anyone recommend a specific vacuum brake bleeding kit?

    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...
  5. With massive GM engine recall and Tundra issues, is the 0W-20 a good oil?

    Wait a moment, are you really comparing GM engines to Toyota truck engines? Seriously, they shouldn't be discussed on the same web forum.
  6. Can anyone recommend a specific vacuum brake bleeding kit?

    Uhhmmnnn . . . why do you need a kit?
  7. My Custom Bed Rack DIY

    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.
  8. Auxiliary Battery installation in bed

    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.
  9. Battery dying after only 2-3 days sitting

    Did you figure out what you were doing wrong? j.
  10. One Year old Tacoma- Anyone paying $15 for remote features in the app?

    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.
  11. Camping @ Southeastern Adventure Vehicle Expo 2025

    Very nice camping setup! j.
  12. Engine sound enhancer

    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...
  13. California Bay Area - SOLD 2024 Off Road Wheels and Tires

    I'll take 'em. Where & when? I'm in the San Ramon Valley, south of Walnut Creek. Jonathan
  14. Toyota OEM Trailhunter Exhaust Dump installed on TRD Off-Road iForce Gas Non-Hybrid

    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.
  15. Factory rock sliders rusting

    Just get a rattlecan of black truckbed coating. Use it as soon as you see wear or any rust shows. I'm not sure how well it lasts if you let the rust build up too far.
  16. Yesterday

    Thanks, that was great! It almost makes me wish I lived where it snows a lot. You must not be near the ocean, or are you? I have only been to Maine in the summer. j.
  17. Can't find replacement bolts for front recovery hooks

    If you can't find them at your local hardware stores, of course Amazon has them. I just checked. j.
  18. Spare fuel tank option-why won't this work?

    With the aux tank that far above your 18 gal. primary tank, obviously no fuel pump is required. j.
  19. Weather Report

    Like Slappy said, raining now and for the next week or more (Wow!), close but above freezing at night, 50 to 60 during daylight. I'm east of Oakland CA.
