Congratulations! I picked up a 2019 TRD OR last Wednesday. I'm pretty excited. I'm disappointed to find that shop manuals are not available for these trucks. Not having shop manuals will be a first for me. Anybody have a lead on manuals of any kind from Toyota?

Ok. So will California now go after shampoo manufacturers whose packaging says "Lather, Rinse, Repeat" ? I mean, I stopped repeating years ago, but I've got a teenager that must be following instructions to the letter. ;-)

I don't buy oil any more, I just rent it from Wal Mart and take it back when I'm done with it.

Just be ready to pull over and unblock it if the weather suddenly changes. I didn't do that on a Spring trip (thought I could wait until the end of the day because my engine temps were OK). I overheated the transmission fluid and bought a rebuild.

Well said. I've stopped counting the number of times I've had this conversation with someone and they will say something like "no caliber below [X] is fit for personal defense carry" or "I only carry a .45 with super duper elephant stopper rounds". I then ask what they are carrying *right now*...

Less than 30 minutes is the technical answer. The political answer is less clear.

I will be the first to agree with that.

As much as any other factor, the deployment of the advanced Pershing systems to Europe contributed significantly to the ending of the cold war. That, and a bunch of 20-somethings outnumbered ten to one, sitting with the 155, 8", Lance, Nike-Hercules, Pershing and MADM all tee'd up just waiting...

I was one of the guys with the flaming p!ss pot on my hat that maintained and delivered the 8" & 155's to the Cannon Cockers. We had plenty of rounds for everybody at the depots located at a number of places in country. Of course, those were a couple of the "small" rounds we carried in the...

And only if you use the W-48 Shell.

Try using an "Easy Out". http://www.toolprice.com/product/1218A Put some penetrant in the hole to start. The way these things work is that you drill a hole, very centered and very straight, into the broken screw. The easy out has a reverse spiral on it that digs into the hole you drilled and...

I've got a 98 Pontiac with the security resistor in the key. One day, while it was raining, I went to the car with the keys in my hand and the car refused to start. Apparently, the key was wet when I put it in the ignition lock and it screwed up the resistance value on the key. This tripped the...
