    When ever I can find a flip kit in stock of an 00 to 06 tundra or equivalent taco. Either sold out or no longer in production.

    One of the best dark comedies ever filmed.

    I know it's supposed to be an action drama. But I watched it for the first time stoned in college... Couldn't stop laughing.

    It’s sooo good!


    After the edit, I could definitely see that too, I just like the 80s or I guess 90s nostalgia I guess?

    About as much reception as the useless plastic antenna on a first generation Motorola brick flip phone.

    My dad had one of those. Back in high school around 2004ish, all my friends were getting cell phones and I was the odd man out at lunch. So I started bringing my dad's old Motorola, just like the one you posted. And I started making fun of everyone on their phones, pretending to talk and play games on my giant cell phone lol

    I mean there's probably a list of reasons.

    At least I fit in here and in my off roading group. That's all a weirdo like me can ask for. :thumbsup:

    I think they noticed. Analog phones were so 20th century. Everyone was digital at that time.

    They 100% noticed. I was being a clown and it didn't even have service. Hell I don't recall if I even charged it.
    Everyone had Nokia's and Sony's back then.

    Yeah the tube, hell if they're all over the place out there, pick one up and see what it'd cost to mail it to me. I want shiny blinky on tippy toppy

    Noahnese is one of the hardest to learn, but you've got a good handle on it.

    I had one of these from middle school into high school. It didn't have a phone plan, but I had the phone. A charging dock, and a spare battery. It still worked at the time! Buttons were backlit green, it was cool as fuck. I loved the display on it too. Used to carry it around the house as a teen and pretend I was somebody important.

    I think I ended up shit canning it.

    It's not fair to only log while travelling downhill. If you're really getting those numbers, we're going to need some more info, such as;
    HOW are you getting these numbers? scangauge? math from fill-ups? did you factor in the regear, or does your speedo pull data from the wheel speed sensor? If it's all legit, then you're a fucking hero and you must tell us; how in the hell did you do it?
    Inquiring minds want to know.
    only time I saw anything that high was from the drive down Big Bear Mountain. Think it might've had something to do with the 5K ft. drop in elevation, but I'm just guessin here
    That scene is what named that movie. somethin about a 3 legged table? So many good parts tho. Great flick for sure

    I think being lowered, 2wd, stock tire size, and bed cover are a big part of the higher MPGs I've been able to achieve. Not to mention I live at sea level, where it's pretty flat.
    @assassin10000 has VVTI and 5spd. IIRC he's either lowered or plans on lowering, too.

    So it looks like one of my coolant hoses had a big leak all of a sudden. Tightened them all and the leak seemed to stop for now. I know I’ve gotta replace my radiator again though six ethe top tank seal is already leaking. Only 1.5yr old Denso which annoys me.
    I saw these bushings and wondered if they need replacement. Seem to be with the steering rack but can’t find them (one on each side) online. Any clues?

    Those bushings are for the front differential mounts. Don't think Toyota sells just the bushings alone, but you can get them aftermarket. https://durobumps.com/product/toyota-replacement-front-differential-bushings/

    I hosed down my engine bay last week and my truck hasn't made this noise since then. I drove on some dusty roads in Arkansas so I tried this thinking I may have picked up something on the belt or pulley.

    Will report back if noise returns.

    Well, I ordered a set. Pretty simple replacement and can only make less vibrations and issues than I have now at 219K. Worth the peace of mind I suppose.
