It's the truck that people who don't need a truck might actually need...but the people who don't need trucks, either don't buy them, or buy them because they want a truck- and I'm not clear that either group is going to pony up and buy one.I want to like it...and, for the price and MPG, I kind...
Today's high temp of 15*F notwithstanding...spring's coming.Ordered a modest heap of new parts for this thing today...nothing hugely fun, unfortunately, just maintenance type stuff. New radiator and full set of coolant hoses as preventative maintenance; new shocks (with upper mounts and bump...
How does the overdrive ratio compare to the stock ZF-5? And I guess as a closely related question, what rear-end gears are you running?It's been years since I drove a truck like that ('95 PSD with the ZF-5 and 4.10 gears) but my recollection is that when empty I'd have liked a taller...
Yeah, I dunno...this was back when they first started selling Echos at Home Depot, and TBH I think it was just set up wrong at the factory and with no dealer to make it right, it never was.Turns out I can get a carb for $13 on eBay, though....might try that. I don't have the time, patience or...
Haven't even looked for that yet...may have to take you up on that offer. I put it up on ramps and went all over it looking for rust before I bought it, and remember seeing the filter...but not where it was.The Tacoma was nearly a 2020 Wrangler...but their tops are a lot more complicated...
It's an Echo CS-3000...I think these are supposed to be good saws for what they are...but this one has always been a turd. Primer bulb and air filter had it running OK for a few minutes till it started raining but it hasn't run worth crap since then...I got a little more cutting done but it's...
UHaul says they weigh about 2200 lbs...I've pulled a number of these behind different rigs- they pull "heavy" for 2200 lbs, but they're great trailers.I did OK through western Maine...truck seemed happier in fourth gear than fifth (it's a 6-speed) to keep it up in the power-band, but that was...
On the other end of the size spectrum...Dad gave me a chain saw a month or so ago, as he was preparing to sell his house. First time I went to use it, the primer bulb spilt.Finally got around to getting a new bulb and air filter for it this afternoon, and got it back running. Never really...
If memory serves, it dates to the beginnings of that, when Ford owned a stake in Mazda but not the majority share they eventually came to own (and subsequently sell).
I've been getting increasingly serious about picking up a convertible over the last several years, and although I wasn't exactly planning on it, things aligned such that I brought home a 1991 Mazda Miata earlier this week.Clean, looks like it was pretty well taken care of and used sparingly...
Thread on the topic coming elsewhere, but I bought a toy the other day, and dragged it home with the Tacoma...~4300 lbs for the loaded trailer, and I pulled it about 250 miles Monday night.Truck did...OK. Rented a trailer I had to pickup about halfway to where I was going; gassed up just...
It does, although I haven't yet figured out what I could use it for...I think it's 100W going down the road and 400W when parked. Don't think it's enough juice to run a circular saw, which was the first use that came to my mind for a plug in that location.Definitely glad I bought when I...
