Vehicle Stability Control (VSC). Uses braking and engine power cuts to prevent you from getting out of control. I like to mess around occasionally when it snows and do donuts etc. I hate the damn thing. I wish I could rip it out of the truck. Also, I wish that in Canada you could get the Double Cab in the TRD Off Road package... would have been nice to have a locking rear diff.
Nice looking Tacoma, uncc. I allllmost got white.

It's a 4x4.
I've got a backup camera, and when I put it in reverse I get an in-cab beep (once) to let me know, "dude... you missed 1st..."
I hate the traction control thing though. I've lost the back end a couple times on ice and I naturally move to correct it. But the dang thing does its stupid traction control and starts braking trying to correct it, and making it pointless and almost dangerous to try and correct it manually.

Thanks all. It's a pretty fun truck for sure. Nicest ride quality I've ever experienced. Not too sure why the fuel economy is so bad... it's only a 4.0L V6, with a 6spd manual... I'll be taking it offroad in the spring to go fishing etc.
Payments aren't actually that bad, as I put a bunch of money down on it.
But in the end..........................
I still have both of my Pathys
Just gotta get the motivation to get stuff done on them and get the '94 trail ready. Yeehaw! Summer project. -
Been too busy to come on here and post pics. 100 hours of work per week is kiiiiiillling me....
At the dealership
Snowwwww
First wash
I'll get better pictures when I have the time.
In all honesty... I'm kind of half thinking of trading it in on something else... This thing is worse on fuel than my Pathy! I still love it though, but 15.5mpg avg is killing me.
-
Dowser... way to rain on my parade bro! Sheeeeeeesh!
I'm still getting it... and I'll be getting a super warranty.. also, one of our loyal clients at our fishing resort is the new vehicle sales manager at the dealership I'm buying from. So, hopefully I'll get treated better. If not, oh well.
Pathy's were new from dealerships at one point.

Easy, guys.... easy....

Well congratulations on the new truck. Even if it mean's the moment you drive it off the lot is begins depreciating instantly and you're stuck paying ridiculous payments for the next 4-5 years for an overpriced hunk of metal that will need to constantly be brought back to the dealership for Flash updates. Not too mention the check engine light likes to come on for just about everything from forgetting to tighten your gas cap to complete and total engine failure with the inability to see or understand what a large majority of the codes are unless you bring it to a Authorized Toyota Dealership to plug into their diagnostics. I'd personally never buy any vehicle new since the depreciation is so nasty. If I wanted new I'd personally go with newer. like 2 years old and save about a 3rd my money. Although I refuse to buy new since every vehicle build in the last 10 years is so heavily reliant on computers to run everything and anything that its more of a pain in the ass to fix then anything else.Now that I've completely ruined your moment and made myself probably look like an ass to you, I'd also like to say that I've always liked the Tocoma's and if I wasn't always worried about where every cent is going, I'd love to splurge for one as well.Enjoy the new truck.
I'm buying new because I'm tired of used vehicles- I always get lemons. I'd much rather have a vehicle that didn't have a previous owner so I don't have to worry about how it may have been beat heavily offroad, or revved like crazy, or ran 10k miles over an oil change etc. I figure I'll have it for a long time, and the doublecab will be great for a family. Tacomas actually hold their value quite well. Obviously you wont get the whole value out of it, but imo, they hold their value much better than Fords etc. Tacomas are also the cheapest option out there right now, for new trucks... where I live, at least...

Well, I still own my '90 and '94 SE's, but I just ordered a new ride... Now that I've transferred to a different ambulance station where I can actually make some money, I've decided to get a new truck. 2011 TRD Tacoma Double Cab, 6spd manual.
Hopefully I'll have time to work on the '94 and get it trail ready for having fun in, and loving
Will probably have pics when it arrives in early November...

Looks good!

Having the glass completely out is wonderful
Though, remember that it's out before you hit 5" deep puddles at 50m/hr.... -
I don't think the gun likes the ammo, I know how to shoot. I was actually shooting on exhale, and in between heart beats, but at a distance of 40 yards, heartbeats shouldn't make much of a difference really. I noticed some weird burns on the brass too... ejected brass had a "back burn" type black mark on them, like the round doesn't seat properly in the barrel/chamber..
-
Shot some more, at 40 yards... and about 15 rounds at 100, holding high and just messing around...
40yards
100 yards... took me a bit to figure out how high to hold.
-
I think I'll get some good cleaner and a bore snake.. those things seem like they clean well.
-
Went out and shot today, with what rounds were recommended by the sporting goods store... and all I can say is "BOOO!"
40 yards and my groups were like 2". I'm not exactly happy with 2" groups at 40 yards.
James, yeah I've heard great things about the .17- it's too bad ammo is so expensive. How is wind drift, with that light of round?
-
Going to get some different ammo for it tomorrow. I'll see what I can do on the paper and get some pics.
-
It's a Hogue stock. It's not the classic synthetic stock, it's coated in an almost rubbery finish. Really nice.
-
Who else has a 10/22? What does yours look like? What round do you like?
-
Though I like AC, after reading about their arms, I wouldn't buy theirs. Get Rough Country arms, about $60 more. Search the forum for info.
BTW, share a pic of your front shock setup.

As the title says, this is my new toy. Ruger 10/22 Target. Hogue stock, 3-9x32 Bushnell scope. I picked up a 30rd Shooters Ridge mag, because... well.... it's a 10/22
I love this thing, I've already put about 200 rounds of Wal Mart special through it. The bipod is awesome, very steady.
Tomorrow I'm picking up 5 different types of ammunition for it, and I'll get some results on paper at 50 and 100 yards with it, after I get 'er dialed in. I'll have pics in a few days!

Counterstrike? Not as far as I know, I don't think it has the engine to support that. Pretty complex for a 10+ year old game, haha.

Because he's a newbie, and the search engine sucks for everyone....
Here ya go.
Re-indexing and cranking torsion bars for front end lift.
Should run you just the cost of Jeep Grand Cherokee coils (or whatever you choose from the list).
My coils from an auto wrecker were $40 each.
Enjoyyyyy.

FS: '90 SE and '94 XE
in Western Canada
Posted
Alright... Time to sell em....
1990 SE, and a 1994 XE. Both 5spds.
I drove the '90 for about 5 years, swamped it in a bigger than thought puddle, did a motor swap- never ran like normal again. Lacking body mount bolts, has no carpet, has some trimmed front fenders and a hole cut in the drivers side fender for a DIY snorkel (to prevent that hydro locking from happening again).
I bought the '94 when I decided I needed a more reliable vehicle. I figured why not buy another Pathfinder as I already have a parts vehicle if needed. The '94 had some broken LCA links that I replaced. Decided I'd swap my lifts in. Put my rear JGC coils in, cranked the torsions, drove it for 12km and the drivers torsion bar popped out (no idea how). Towed it home, took the torsions out to redo it, lost motivation and bought a 2011 Tacoma.
So, they sit at my parents place collecting dust.
Any interest? Located in Kamloops, BC...
