Don't be afraid to ask if they will upgrade you. They will either tell you "no", or you can have the Mustang convertible for another $5 a day while you are in Vegas.

The new owner of Meyers Manx did an episode with Jay Leno. He didn't have his EV buggy in there. But he did talk about it a little. And it looks like he is trying to make the company viable. Meyers Manx on Jay Leno's Garage

Toyota already has a hydrogen generator in production now. They sell their fuel cell to Generac to package and sell here in the states. Little to big and boxy to fit in the front of a Tundra. But give them time. https://www.generac.com/Industrial/all-about/hydrogen

Drove from Iowa to above the Arctic circle in 1990. Went up the Dalton highway right after it was opened to the public. Needed the spare. But only one. Needed to visit the dentist after to replace a filling or two that shook lose. The Milepost NMBruce mentioned is a great resource. Strongly...

If you are buying / selling an ER, I don't think the latest economic downturn is affecting you very much. During the last major economic slump in 2008, while the Big 3 automakers in the US were struggling to stay afloat, Mercedes, Porshe, Bently, ... sales stayed steady.

It might be operating like the Toyota "electronic limited slip differential", or whatever they call it. Instead of a real limited slip, it applies the brakes to the spinning wheel. From a driver's perspective, it feels and sounds like the truck is trying to slow you down. You hear the ABS...

Did you get to be a tester?

In case you want to go off roading at your local golf course?

As a follow up to the original issue. Never happened again after Friday night. Went in and out of Limp mode 6 or 7 times that night. But never since. That was over 700 miles ago. After looking through the manual, there is a violet wire that serves all 3 ignition coils on the driver's side...

Thanks for the thoughts. For what it's worth, there are 5 grounding points. I was able to take a screen shot of those. Here it is for anyone's future reference.

Well, I paid my $20 for 2 days of access to the On-line Toyota TIS website. You can view the repair manual on-line, but you can't download it. Kind of helpful for today, but not in a week. Don't want to pay the $400 (or what ever it was) for a full year subscription. You can download the...

Or if you have any other thoughts or advice, please let me know. Thanks.

Does anyone have the factory wiring diagrams for a 2017 Tacoma? Specifically the ones to the ignition coils? The other night, my Taco went into limp mode. Occasionally. Managed to get it to a dealership. They pulled the trouble codes and told me it was the ignition coils, but couldn’t tell me...

While California is doing a good job of pushing things forward to a more environmentally friendly world, they do have their issues. To give them credit, living with the reputation and pictures of a smog covered L.A. was certainly good motivation. This is also the same state that at one point...

If your daily driver ICE vehicle had a small gas tank, and only could go about 200 miles between fill-ups, would you be that concerned? Would you want a gas pump at work, at the grocery store, at the shopping mall? If you could install an gas pump in your garage that never ran out of gas...

Back to the OP. If you are going to use an ICE to generate electricity, you need to connect it to an alternator. How quickly you want to produce electricity to charge the battery, will determine the size of the alternator. For example, on a locomotive, you have a 2000hp diesel connected to...

I was concerned that the new owner was going to shutter the business. They had between little and no info on their site for a while. Glad to see they are going again. I have plans in my head for doing the EV conversion. I think theirs will be a heck of a lot better thought out than mine!!

Seems like Jeeps are selling for either $6,000 or $20,000 + when I look around. And unless it has a decent potential to do what I want within reason to fix up, I am not sure I am up for the “mechanics dream”. Thanks for talking me off the ledge. It’s fun to dream about projects. I”ll put...

All right Jeep guys. This might be a chance to convert a Toyota guy, maybe. We’ve been looking for a car to run around town with, some back roads, occasional interstate travel with. There is someone with a used Jeep for sale. I don’t know anything about the different models, years, what to look...
