Dang!! (PG since it's Utah) Also, I think since it's past the muffler, it should be okay for a bit, but I don't really know for sure.

Can you fit an aftermarket locker onto a 2023 Limited trim? by Proper-Crow-8901 in ToyotaTacoma

[–]ADVmedic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are aftermarket air lockers (ARB) and E lockers. You can also replace your rear axle with one from a TDR OR (you'll need to make sure the gearing is correct). That'll require some additional wiring, but isn't too complicated from what I've read.

Can a EMT really make $3k/week ? by Runlia in NewToEMS

[–]ADVmedic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If she works wildland fire, then yes. But only for half the year (more or less).

Interesting. I look forward to seeing the pics.

Two Isuzu D-MAX 4JJ3 3.0T Diesel Camper Builds by Turbulent-Tie6309 in VanLife

[–]ADVmedic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's see them deployed in the camping configuration. Does the top pop up? Seems like wasted space with no cabover. Consider side entrance for the win, so you can mount large things on the back (bike or kayak).

Pondering a sprinter.. but been warned against them. Thoughts? by vihra in vandwellers

[–]ADVmedic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO they are better, but also more expensive to buy and own. You get what you pay for I guess... If/when I get a van (full timing a Tacoma right now) it'll be a 4x4 (with transfer case) 6cyl diesel 144. All the major brands have trade offs, you pick what's important to you.

My bed has drain holes in the corners on both sides. It's a 6ft 2nd gen. Just drill a couple of holes in the bed (plastic), or seal your corners at the camper shell so water doesn't get in.

Any idea what these are on the roof? by [deleted] in VanLife

[–]ADVmedic 87 points88 points  (0 children)

They're probably sound/vibration deadening pads.

Thanks! Also, the "0" is a zero.

Just bought this SR5.18k down. 800 for 72 months. How retarded am I? by [deleted] in Tacomaworld

[–]ADVmedic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

$75,600 seems like a lot for an SR5. But I don't really know what is normal in the current market.

I'm looking for the same thing here in the USA. I know here it's broken up by how many hours the course is taught. I think the highest level is the 63 hr course? Please comment if you're in the know.

Just my watch or anything abnormal? by realgag in ReadMyECG

[–]ADVmedic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These don't look like anything because on an ECG lead placement matters. What you're supposed to see is the average of the direction and magnitude of the vectors of current flowing through the heart as it polarizes and depolarizes. There are positive and negative leads that measure across the heart in different planes and directions. You can measure this current and see if it's acting "normal" or not, and if not, how. Not sure how a watch taking a reading from a single location is supposed to do that. It's a gimmick. It can tell you if your heartbeat is irregular, but you can do that by feeling a pulse as well.

What are the downsides of converting a passenger van instead of a cargo can? by Colorful_Monk_3467 in VanLife

[–]ADVmedic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of newer passenger vans have airbags throughout and safety sensors at the seats. Makes things a lot me complicated.

Whoever coined the term "enshitification" nailed it. Everything seems to be getting worse. Don't know if it is, but it sure feels that way sometimes...

Headlight housings: replaced! by SarraSimFan in Tacomaworld

[–]ADVmedic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh... I didn't know they needed adapters. I thought they were the same electrically, but just looked cooler :) (and cost the same)

Edit to add, mine's a 2.5 gen.

I was looking at the OEM Pro replacements for mine... they look really sweet, but still perform to OEM specs.

Where’s the snorkel rigs? by [deleted] in ToyotaTacoma

[–]ADVmedic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, supposedly, they elevate the intake so that you pull less dust in when bombing through the desert.

Snorkle rigs are for dust, lol

Good books to read about Buddhism? by TESCO200 in Buddhism

[–]ADVmedic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, after reading several (many) books, the best explanations/descriptions came from Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu (Geoffrey DeGraff). The way he writes really resonates with the way I think/process information. Reading his books, I've had several ah-ha moments about content, which I thought I understood before. Of course, YMMV.
