Release delayed lol

you also have to take into account that the factory worker is not building just one model on a line, they are building multiple models on the same line from what i have seen from video's but i also could be wrong.
i need someone to correct me if i am wrong on multi model assembly lines.

 

doesnt this recall only affect if you put 17in wheels on only? it doesnt happen on the 18+ sized wheels?

 

Toyota has the ability to build multiple models on the same assembly line. Most automakers do. However, TMMBC and TMMGT build Tacomas exclusively.

 

ugh forgot it was the tacoma.

i was thinking tahara plant where the 4R and where most of the lexus models are built. i forgot they moved all taco assembly to mexico. it use to be split between usa and mexico

 

Recall affects models with 17" wheels installed in production. It's still Toyota's fault of course for failing to conduct adequate fit checks and integration testing with 17" wheels. However, the shitty brake hose routing came from Japan, likely from the LC300 (first TNGA-F model). Early Tacoma test mules even ran LC300 wheels.

 

No idea. Didn’t click sht. Not really responding to you.. just on my own soap box lol

 

These BYD cars are so cheap only because Communist Party of China sponsors them. Plus, they all collect and send data back to China, so they are also national security threat. Banning them was absolutely the right thing to do economically and geopolitically.

 

Protectionism is only bad when America does it. Duh.

 

Data on your Your Costco trips, is what they really care about

 

Good thing none of us uses Google, Facebook, or Amazon, right?

 

False equivalency. CCP is categorically different level of threat than any US Corps, even ones with intel ties. Additionally, a car is categorically different product from IT products like smartphones. If you need to, you can leave a phone behind, but most people cannot do the same with their car.

A better comparison - would you rather use Android and be spied on by Google or cheaper Huawei phone and be spied on by China? My choice is neither, but that takes more effort than most people willing to do.

 

United States = Intercepted information
China = Stole information

Recognize and the know the difference of how it is done.

 

I might be involved in a criminal activity, marriage infidelity, or unusual hobbies or fetishes; I might attend political or union activities I don't want my employer or social circle to know about, I might be personal friends with people on various watch lists while holding a security clearance, I might have gambling, alcohol or a drug problems, I might belong to a cult or a radical religious organization, I might be consulting with a divorce attorney in preparation for a divorce, or I might not like being targeted by advertising.

Pick one or more.

 

Dang this hits hard, As a Southern Baptist...

 

So all of the above?

 

80% if I had to peg a percentage, Can only be so much of a hypocrite ya know?

If ya know, You know. But seriously religion has always been a powderkeg for Hypocrisy

 

Yes, it's not the same, but I don't think those companies care who they sell our data to (anyone willing to pay, I'd wager). So it can end up where we don't want it, anyway.

But I'm with you where practical, and I try not to use Chinese companies' equipment.

There's a recent video game that got kind of popular, and it's free to download and play. I looked it up, and Chinese company, so I thought hmm, maybe there's more to this software than a game, haha.

 

Can't let the CCP know when I meet with strangers deep in the woods with axes and shovels and worship large fires. I think the codename of this cult activity is called "overlanding".

 

Oh no that must mean you’re an iPhone lover!
Ur right it would take more effort than I’m willing to do to switch to Apple

 

Have you been spying on me?

 

Worse. I have been sneaking into your garage at night to put THE WRONG BRAND OF OIL into your 4Runner. I also went max torque with power tools on the skid plate bolts and dropped at least a dozen 10mm sockets into the engine bay.

This is just how I roll.

 

^^^^^

But did at least some of those 10mm sockets come from his own toolbox?

 

Are you a dealer lube tech?

 

No, these are the guys that flunked out of Evil Medical School.

 

^So they still have legible handwriting?
