    My new 2026 Toyota Tacoma SR5

    Meanwhile in my WRX that I have Motul 75w90 in it, below 32° shifting is pretty rough. 2nd gear is basically "Hah, noooope!" for several miles :LOL:

    My new 2026 Toyota Tacoma SR5

    That's the exact tires I put on my 4th gen. Not a bad tire. They appear to be wearing a little funky after 10K, but after my last oil change fiasco at the dealer they probably aren't even rotating them...

    What are you working on today?

    That first sentence :ROFLMAO: The industrial technician in me couldn't leave well enough alone. I bought some tie downs to weld on, but I need to load the mower up to get the positions where I want it. Allegedly they pay the welders $8 an hour to weld those trailers together (parolee and...

    What are you working on today?

    You know what, I never thought about that. I'm totally getting pulled over now :ROFLMAO: Not planning on using it after dark though.

    What are you working on today?

    I have this cheap Carry On trailer from Tractor Supply. The license plate bracket that comes with it that hangs off the light is hilariously flimsy. Pretty sure if I hit some rough road it's gonna snap off. Bought some 3/16 flat stock to make a holder. I'm used to using a 480V welder at work...

    My new 2026 Toyota Tacoma SR5

    I went from 245's to 265's like the Offroad's, but I lost some MPG. If you're hung up on MPG's, definitely stick with 245's. I've been getting around 20mpg. It showed 18 with the trailer, which the load combined was around 1200lbs. Don't know if they changed any programming in the '26's, but...

    My new 2026 Toyota Tacoma SR5

    Don't know how I missed this, but my truck is the exact clone, just a '24. So far so good, only 16K miles on it as my work commute is somewhat short. I did change out the factory street tires to some all terrains due to the snow we get here. I drove it once in the snow with the stock tires and...

    Toyota 4 Runner shockingly disappointing rental experience

    Pretty sure the folks here are definitely not in the majority. Sales figures looked pretty good for the launch of the 6th gen. I see more 6th gen 4R's than 4th gen Tacoma's. My old manager had a 2018 4R and wasn't planning on getting rid of it ever. He test drove a 2026, sold his 2018 to...

    Anyone Accidentally Find a Good Tub/Shower Cleaner You Never Expected?

    I use the same thing. Even with a water softener on my well water, the old tile gets spots pretty easy. The fumes will indeed knock you back, but it works well. It's also septic safe. Something a lot of people don't consider with cleaning products.

    Best primer for treated plywood outside?

    The trim on my garage was treated 1x4 and 1x6. I primed it with Kilz3, but after a while all the knots started bleeding through. I had to go over those spots with Zinnser oil base. Been good since. No adhesion issues with the latex primer, but there was definitely bleed through.

    Dave’s Auto Center oil

    I don't know why you responded the way you did to my quote, but my quote had nothing to do with Gale banks or anything else in your rant.

    Benjamin Moore # 1460 Silver Dollar. Swatch can be found in the classic series. I used to sell BM paint so I have the big fandeck :whistle:

    Plastic Packaging

    I love when you buy a knife in one of those packs, but need said knife to open the package :unsure:

    Who needs WD-40 King of the Hill edition?

    Honestly Bobby looks like a picture of me when I was a kid :ROFLMAO:

    drained engine oil is red.

    While not Euro's, I have a couple turbocharged direct injected vehicles that turn the used oil slightly red while draining. Not this red, but it's definitely noticeable.

    I hate pipe dope...

    I use the Megaloc at home, at work I have some Rectorseal Tru-Blue. It's pretty darn similar. Not too many guys at work like to do plumbing, so being the jack of all trades it gets passed on to me. Honestly, I'd rather work on a sink or toilet over a 25HP motor/gearbox! :ROFLMAO:

    I hate pipe dope...

    Not a real popular opinion, but I use tape and compound. It acts more as a lubricant to make sure you can get the fitting tight. Although last week I was replacing a fire pump compressor at work and only had my Blue Monster tape on hand and everything went fine. That tape is pretty thick though.

    Sheen for Exterior House Paint

    When I converted my carport into a garage, I painted the 4x8 siding (similar to what you have) with BM Ben Low Lustre. I am pretty happy with it. Don't have any real closeups, but you can get the idea. EDIT: Been on there since Spring 2022 and not really showing signs of wear/fade. This...
