1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

I never understood the need for chase lights until T2S.
The only ones I see with em in the off-road parks in TX, are the side by sides with their led whips.

By idiot friends, I can only assume you mean Bui...
I could see him rear ending someone without a chase light.

 

I actually haven’t wheeled with him before haha.

I have a few friends in our group that all love to get rowdy. Couple of the guys have had a few accidental boops lol

 

Just heard of that app today. Apparently they're one of the apps that sell driving data to insurance companies. Fun.
I need to throw my phones in a faraday cage before I drive.

 

So the doctor at work has a 2012 Camry and her key is stuck in the ignition. I'm about to go down some rabbit holes to help her. But I figured I'd post here first in case anyone had experience with this. Thanks

 

As @Azblue would say “Is she hot?”.

 

Maybe the steering wheel is locked? I'm not sure if that could get a key stuck, but it's worth trying to wiggle the steering wheel to see if maybe that can get it out? I'm not expert though.

 

Turn the wheel hard in one direction while trying to kick the key back/forth to START then OFF.
Turn the wheel hard in opposite direction and repeat. See if it lets go.

Sometimes steering wheel will lock and do funky shit.

 

Hey @bmf4069 where you at bro. Whole new low mile interior $600, bet you could get him to kick you door handles for free.

​

 

No

 

So I've already tried that. The steering wheel isn't locking at all for some reason. I think I've narrowed it down to either the cylinder is the issue or the electric sensor linked to the park on gear shifter.

 

Once it's in there, sometimes all you gotta do is jiggle it vigorously, and magical things happen.

 

I was at the wrecking yard a couple days ago looking at possibly parts of a 2004 DC. Right next to the tundra was a little 2wd Ford Danger Ranger…with “helper” springs. I had to take a pic of it. So wrong. I wouldn’t put it past the owner if he had simply removed the coil springs from the front of his truck and stuck them in the rear. Just joking of course, but i’m betting the coils were off the front of someone’s ranger.

Yes, the shiny spot is where the coil gets smashed against the side of the frame.

 

Pretty sure that’s a bed frame holding it in there, lol.

 

thats always been my approach, and they always come back for round 2.

 

We got it. Turns out it was a tiny key ring wedged in there.

 

Good on ya for helping out bro.

 

Yes, she told me as much.

 

I was going to ask if she put it in park or if it was still in drive

 

You know you're talking to the employee of the month, yeah?

 

Interesting long wheel studs.

 

Spit on it...

A little bit of the devil's lube goes a long way

 

As a dear friend used to say, "if it ain't spit, it ain't love."

 

Maaaaan, if that were closer....

 

I saw Ironman's twin in town twice on Tuesday. Once at Kroger and again on the main drag through town. I should've gotten a pic, but both times I was driving

 

And In the I don't deserve my first gen best gen truck we have this
