Another one! Baja Designs foglights installed! This time second gen!

Met up with my buddy Daniel..former Evo X owner and Ford Fiesta ST.

You've met him in my earlier vid and photoshoot of his FiST.

He was impressed with my Baja Designs lights so he got a set.

Here's our silliness of install. We always joke around.

It was good seeing you again Taco BRO!!!

Things to look for when you're E30 is dead!

I had a YouTube subscriber inquire on what caused my starting/driving/idling issues.

The symptoms were that the car would stall and buckle while driving. I'd lose power at times and it would come back. Sometimes I could start it again and drive off for a few miles without issue.

It came to a point that I couldn't start it. It would crank but that's it. Then sometimes it was nice and start but then die. This was totally frustrating.

I looked at the basic stuff first. The fuses! I didn't see anything wrong. I read about relays. Again I tracked them what I thought could be the culprit but no go. Maybe it was a fuel issue so I thought since the inline pump was really loud that was it. Or perhaps the fuel filter got clogged.

I changed both and thought it was the issue but nope! I did even did a video on it.

Well to say the least I was frustrated! I gave up and decided to take it to a specialist.

They spent several hours and figured it out! It was a fusible link! Basically it's a wafer that's inline with the wire that blows like a fuse but isn't replaceable. 

It was located under the rear seat and it ran from the battery in the trunk all the way to the ECU by the glove compartment. I had no clue the car had one.

Well $350 later it's running without issue! I hope you guys can find your problem on the cheap. 

That is the culprit!!!!

Biggest Toyota meet in Orange County...raised over $10,000 for hurricane victims

Today I took my kids and Tacoma to a huge meet out in Anaheim, CA. It was a great turnout.

The weather felt like it was still summer.

It was flattering for people to recognize me and discuss trucks. If you ever see me and want to chat, let me know.

Here's a video I did and introduced the guys who organized the event.

Happy Taco day!!! Congrats to the 2017 Toyota Tacoma on the IIHS Safety Rating score card!!!

I was excited to hear the great news that my Taco did so well on this safety test. I think it should have gotten top rating though and I've talked about it on my YouTube channel. I even put my face on it! haha!

I love to blog but Vlogging is fun as well.

Let me know if you would like me to do more write ups or vids up.

I appreciate all your likes and comments on my YouTube and Instagram accounts.

Pedal Commander what? Sprint Booster what? I can feel faster just by adding a little gizmo?

I ended up picking up a Pedal Commander for my Taco. It's a doohickey that adds more voltage to the drive-by-wire gas pedals that many newish cars (2000+) have versus the old fashion cable throttle.

I loved it in my Golf R and did a video on it. It's actually my highest viewing video ever by a landslide!

My theory...and I say mine is manufacturers wanted to get the highest EPA MPG ratings they can so if a driver can't make their car go fast or they feel it won't go, they'll put less efforts and accelerating which in turns saves gas. Little did they know drivers decided to punch it all the time at full WOT (Wide Open Throttle) or simply mashed the gas! 

This has actually helped people get better mpg.

Check out my video on YouTube and see for yourself. Thanks for reading!

Holy Jim Trail - Redux ... yep.. I went back!

This time I went with friends but didn't take the easy way. In fact I went up partially what they call Jeep Hill and chickened out. I'm a noob and literally just figured out 4LO engaged properly. Yea I know..I should read the manual...or how about just the card on the visor?

Anyhow here's a few pics but the best highlights are on my video.

Please chime in with any comments.

Bro Pro lost some wheels....

I did some magic though and got some other ones!

Wheel magic


I've been eyeing SCS Ray10 wheels for some time and had an opportunity to get a set. I like them. They have an aggressive offset of -12 for a 16x8 wheel but I think they look great. It's the maximum amount of poke I'd want to add. Any more and it's overBRO.

Now I need to do a new video with all my mods...stay tuned...

Cleghorn ? What's that? It's a fun trail!!!!

A friend of mine just picked up a Jeep Wrangler and added a lift. He called me and invited me out to Cleghorn along with a few others to have some off-road fun. You may have seen my Holy Jim post which was my first off-road outing.  It's rated "easy" at Holy Jim. Now Cleghorn can go from mild to wild depending on the path you choose. I've seen 2wd trucks taking some paths so if you ever want to go, just go...but be sure you take someone who knows where they're going unless you're okay backtracking.

I learned a few things with my Taco. I should have run 4LO with traction control off when I tried going up the steep hill. I literally had no power and I smelled my clutch smoke. Now I know. lol

So the order of driving was the TRD Pro 4runner because he's been here the most. 2nd was the Sport 4x4 Taco with Kings suspension. 3rd was my buddy's lifted Jeep and me with stock suspension.

My boys were excited to go on this outing and you can see it in the end.

Taco meet at IN n Out

TacomaWorld set up a meet in Signal Hill California which was fortunately close to me. My boys like their food and so do I.

We arrived at a little after 5pm and tacos were already there.

There were all generations but the majority was 2nd gens. I love all the gens and was actually looking for a 1st gen but there weren't any good deals to be had which held true for 2nd gens so I went with my 3rd gen which I really like.

Check out my video and this cool rig that has $100k in mods!!! no kidding!

My FIRST Subscriber Showcase on YouTube! Blazing Blue Pearl Taco talk!!!! BRO PROs united!!!

Jason Payne bought his BBP Tacoma just 6 weeks ago and he was surfing the web for mods.

He found my YouTube Channel and started looking at all the mods I did. Jason was so interested he posted several questions on each of my videos. His first mod was the TRD Pro grill. He then focused on getting some wheels. He's become a BRO PRO / PRO BRO!

He lives out in Nevada but was visiting family here in SoCal as well as doing a few mods. This is when I did my mini photoshoot and decided to do my first Subscriber Showcase.

It was a pleasure to meet Jason and his Taco.

Free Shizzle!!! Check my YouTube channel and see!!!!
