What have you done to your Tacoma today?

[JayQQ97]

Blueberries are protected here under a blanket of snow

 

[tacojoel]

You must have the low bush blueberry type. I have the high bush in my yard...their fairly big at 5', with lots of berries in august.

Time for a wash Got salt? Can't wash at 20 degrees

 

[tacojoel]

My gen3 is salt covered also from taking a 50 mile round trip to my shop. It was 11 degrees when I left the house. I don't dare hose it off. I'd have a skating rink in minutes.

I did have to charge my battery yesterday cuz I hadn't driven the orange crate in 2 weeks sittinging the cold will drain a good battery I'll have to drive more often

 

[tacojoel]

Can't say I ever had that issue with a delco, or deka battery in my tundra when it sat for 10 days parked in la tuque, quebec during a -40 degree week while we did a 1500 mile bag ride on our snowmobiles north of there.

I don't have as much faith in the interstate batteries these days second one we have issue in same week

 

[Cape taco]

My wife is much happier with the new steps but I'm going to paint them black this summer so they will blend in

 

[JayQQ97]

Interstate green battery in gen2 started ok for many days here while it was sub-zero temps to -15*F
but it certainly did struggle and the battry is 3 years old exact from install in 2o21

Heck I have salt spray over my trucks hood, and roof, coming off other vehicles in front of me. Frigging roads here are covered with 2'' of half melted snow ice, and salt.

are you going to use the subway paint?
it is the good stuff as i recently observed

 

[Cape taco]

I never heard of subway paint .I was thinking of scuffing them then use adhesion promoter and black truck bed liner spray.I think the windows got salt on them cuz my wheels stick out a bit with spacers past the flare

 

[tacojoel]

These gen3 taco's hate big ass heavy tires unless you re-gear.

subway paint is the strong stuff i just saw a uTube about it
very acid resistant
so that they can clean and remove graffiti with acetone or whatever nasty without harming the paint

Just got back from midas getting my taco emission checked...this little mexican tech wanted to know where I got this truck....he said in broken english, he could find no emissions after having it on the machine a 1/2 hr, so he passed it....wtf?....at any rate I told him there better not at 20k miles.
On another note...these midas guys get $152 per hr for any service.

Emissions? I remember when we stopped having to pay another fee to the Government back around the turn of this century for those money makers.
