I'm a car geek and always looking to fix up my rides but on a budget. I could never find the info I needed so I decided to Blog then later do YouTube videos.
Being a father of 3 I have to be mindful with the toys I want and the toys my kids want.
Join me for information about my stuff and thoughts about making them nicer. I've introduced my kids when I can as my helpers.

I've been trying to get a few videos out before year end.
It's been hectic with the kids and work to get my vids out. Even a 3 minute video takes me a couple hours to edit at a time. I'm trying to get out some quality content when possible.
I've gotten 8 videos out this month and 5 of them have been consecutive. My goal is to get out at least 4 more this month.
I truly appreciate all the positive feedback I've gotten on TacomaWorld, YouTube, Instagram, Reddit and Facebook.
Also I've met some of guys locally and it's been a pleasure.
Please comment on any of my social media on anything in particular you would like me to discuss.
I just set up a Wasserstein Solar Panel almost 2 weeks ago. So far it's doing great! I'll have an update to it shorty. I've read the Netgear version has been a failure.
Not only I'm working on my "Subscriber Showcase" episodes, I'm doing "Taco Talk."
This week's Taco Talk are about the changes Toyota has done to them. Production is starting to begin in Texas and Mexico so there should be some allocation by December.
Check out my quick 3 minute video about it and also about my 2018 inspired taillights
I've been busy so busy with the family that I've been behind on my product reviews so I've decided to do an almost daily blast of videos to get things out of the way.
It's been a big learning curve for me to get the good clean video for people. I have to say thanks so much for your support! I even put myself more in the vids because of that.
Here are just a weeks' work of videos and I still have more down the pipe! Haha!
Yes folks. After 10,000 miles my clutch pedal developed an annoying creak. It happens after some time driving and when it's warm indicating the lubricants could be failing at a certain viscosity.
It gets really stiff when it does this as well.
I took it to the dealer and they couldn't duplicate the issue and lubed up all the joints. Well I drove it the next day and boom! Creaking is back. Now it's not as loud as I documented in the video but it's there.
There isn't a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) or recall on this year. There is one for the 2005-2015 second generations which they replace the entire pedal assembly. I'm curious which parts have been carried over to the third gen.
It's a good truck overall but this sure is annoying. Nobody can get everything perfect but they do need to strive just a tad more. I wanted to add too that I'm not the only person with this issue so it's not an 'bitter owner' syndrome.
Check out my videos and please post if you're a victim as well.
So I plan on taking it to service soon but I wanted to do a video to demo the noise and also see how many others are having this issue. I'm at 10k miles and it's bugging me.
