Got a buddy trying to get out of a CVT trannied Subaru (boooooring!!!) and into a Taco.

Thanks man, appreciate the quick response.
Called back and talked to my regular guy Andy, and he pulled up listings, part numbers and prices within 3 minutes.

43531-60010 $6.20 (gasket)
43422-60010 $2.25 (gasket)
about $20 per side before taxes.
Slick, love the abundance of bikes. I too have a problem of too many good deals and ever disappearing places to park haha.
Until I sold an atv 2-weeks ago, there were 2 Honda sport atvs, Honda dirtbike, 2 suzuki dirtbikes all fighting for realestate in the garage. My wife still isnt too pleased that she can’t park in the garage all winter. I tried to compromise “let me park some bikes in the basement, and you’ll have your parking spot”, but she had no interest.
Loving the 4Runner man. Progress coming in bunches makes for awesome updates. Appreciate the first gen eye candy.
Where can you find POR-15 in a retail store? I’ve got some super-mega rust prevention planned for fall/winter 2018.
Dent in the bumper as only blemish. Perhaps a scuff from a branch that’ll buff out
It’s a memorable day to finish paying off the loan. Goodbye bi-weekly payment!! You won’t be missed!!
Had a bumpy “good night and go to sleep” drive with my 3.5 year old turn a little extra adventerous last night.
The incident involves a long icy hill, a tree, a large boulder and a rescue me phone call to a buddy.
About 1 truck length from cresting the hill, a rather large bump caused a total loss of forward momentum, initiating a 50m backwards downhill slide. Oooops. This was at 9pm, So much for a tame sideroad tour to lull the wee one to sleep.
An hour later had a Tundra driving buddy pick us up and drive us home. “Little Trucky” had a lonely sleep On the side of a no winter maintenance road overnight.
Flash forward to 9am, loaded up with a come along, 30ft recovery strap, various 10,000lb ratchet straps, 80kg of salt, 3-ton floor jack a buddy and super powerful brains, recovery began.
Pictured above, The rear diff high centered on the previously mentioned large boulder.
-Come along rear hitch to tree on far side of road to stabilize
-jack under low side rear axle to get diff off rock
-fallen branch under rear tire to keep off diff
-recovery strap uphill far side of road to big tree. Highlift, and strap in-line to front loop
-TENSION!!
-pour down 80kg of salt
-proceed very slowly
-setup again higher up the hill, and she walked right out of the ice ditch.
Freedom!! Less than 2-hours including socializing, high-fiving, and cleanup. One softball sized dent in the bumper is all that remains of the incident. Total success.
Picked up a Bestop Supertop off kijiji yesterday.
Needs a cleaning, a patch and mounting hardware, but otherwise she’s mint.
Pretty excited to start getting this refurbished and installed.
Any idea why pictures that I successfully posted and were visible 5-days ago, have been replaced by a photobucket hosting ad?
That’s actually my truck. This pic was from when I left deposit on the bigrunner from the previous owner. Didnt even intend to get the taco in the background…just a happy coincidence.
Will be spreading the news around work Monday. Not a lot of Yota’s in Shelburne…more of an F150 kinda town.
Hey Mark, only 2.66 yotas in the fleet right now. Still balance owing on the third.
Took a week for me to find the confirmation email in my junk folder. Silly phone couldn’t distinguish between facebook/twitter spam which defeats the spam filters (despite the fact I’m not a registerred user) and TNTT for which I’m actually interested in.
The small toys are intended to keep me busy between Toyota excursions. And they’re much MUCH higher up in the power-to-weight ratio for when I want to get chills going fast…rather than puckers going slow. It is also a lot easier to part with these play machines. Every Toyota I’ve sold in my life causes some heartache.
Lookin’ forward to springtime wheelin’ guys (and gals once they mosey on over)!!
Hey Steve, glad to be back online.
Nice lookin’ bikes. I’m partial to Kawi green, but hold no real brand preferance in bikes/atvs (so long as they’re Japanese).
Usually my shop is littered with half-built bikes, half-broken kids toys, and crap my wife finds curbside or at the Re-Store.
’06 RMZ awaiting tires and fork seals. A 2000 CR250, 1999 KX250, and 1986 TRX250R all making cameo appearances.
Others like my 2005 TRX450R (for sale) are much more broken upon arrival.
All good to go now.
