*crickets*

R.I.P.

I just figiured everybody followed my lead and bought a Toyota too!

Well, if you don't post a problem, what do we have to do? (AKA: it is all your fault!) A possible sub problem is the lack of cookies, but I won't go there.

Nope, Nissans.

It's just not the same as it used to be. I check in every couple of weeks but I seem to spend most of my spare time shooting IDPA, PPC and various high power and Garand matches. It was fun while it lasted tho.

Hi folks, I like to read and see what people have to say about any problems/solutions. I don't know how to work on my truck, but I know when something is wrong with it. So far, it's OK. I have a Dodge Ram Quad cab

No way. Toyota trucks looked nice until the late 80s.

They turned ugly when the fenders got that soft swirled ice cream styling.

Now they're just grotesque. Your truck looks lika a potato bug.

My biggest problem with Toyota trucks is the dissolving frames and other parts underneath. Their rust problems ruined a lot of vehicles, and they only responded when forced--and that response was so limited it didn't help the majority of the people who had trucks that were no longer safe to drive.

Well, I could post about the very slight shudder when braking that doesn't actually seem to be the brakes...

Other than that she's running great, and is gonna be pretty thoroughly used as I'm about to move to a little cottage in the country (from a townhouse in the burbs), and will use the Dak and my stock trailer to do it. Should be interesting.

Alas, nobody's gotten cookies out of me in months, possibly as much as a year. Just not been in the mood. I know y'all are disappointed...

I shoot a bit but don't recognize your acronyms. At least, I assume you're talkin' about guns. Don't do matches, but can hit what I aim at, and have a tiny bit of combat training, so that if someone breaks into my home, I'm not likely to freeze up and hide under the bed. Or if I do, I'll still remember to grab the gun first :)

Being a bit vertically challenged with bitty little hands, all my weapons are undersized, like my fave, a SigSaur P238 Nitro.

Facebook is having a bad effect on the newsgroups. Some of us have to keep this system alive!

Glad to hear your Dak is still going. Mine is still waiting for me to put the engine back in it!

Facebook is not well enough threaded to be a thread, I think the biggest threat to NNTP is web based forums.

You just had to go there didn't you.....

I still read the posts a few times a week but haven't had any problems with the Dak or Ram to ask about.. I think most of the newsgroups I subscribe to have been thinned by facebook..

Nice to see you still remember English, Mac. How ya been? My 2500 is falling apart. I think I'm going to have to replace the clutch pedal rubber thingy again. Almost 228k miles.

Suddenly, without warning, Mac Davis exclaimed (2/9/2012 8:38 PM):

Yea, same here, though I haven't found a Facebook group to replace this crowd.

Just had the rear brake system replaced - thoroughly rusted, so England's damage isn't quite done being fixed yet.

The Dak is going to get a bit of a workkout next weekend - I'm moving about 40 minutes away, and using my 10' steel stock trailer to do it.

So, hey, just to keep old tradition going with a wildly off topic thread, what do y'all think about Tommy Jordan - the father who shot up his daughter's laptop?

Toyota doors are catching on fire. Wear long sleeves, non-synthetic fiber. Watch out.

Got rid of my 2002 Dakota lemon and got a 2011 Dakota, Bighorn, 2 door,

It's been almost a year. I haven't had a reason to complain yet.
