You could swap the 2LTE engine, that’s the equivalent hilux diesel for 80s. You may have to import though, they are few and far between in the us.

Totally with you, I want more options for my Tacoma also!

I’ve been playing with idea of importing a lhd hilux from Mexico


Man, what the hell is that song

I first heard about this in an former coworker's (Robin Berjon) talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s878bm15mrk at an IPFS conference

Fascinating

He writes about these things on this blog as well(https://berjon.com/ethicswishing/), and has a forthcoming book on related topics last I heard


I'm in talks with some factories that manufacture the scanners, I'd like to produce branded versions and ship them out automatically to users who signup for the paid plan, but I need to get some initial users first to verify the idea. Eager to move onto the next steps and build all of that out


Crew Chief (https://crewchief.cc) — a Vehicle diagnostic and management tool. Plug in your OBD2 codes (or just describe symptoms) and get a structured diagnosis in under 30 seconds: ranked probable causes, DIY vs. shop cost estimates, severity rating, and matched parts/repair videos.

I have too many project cars and bikes, I wanted one place to store vin numbers for searching parts, and then just kept adding useful features.

Supports 16 vehicle types (cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, tractors, ATVs, RVs, etc.), not just cars. Also includes maintenance tracking, a browser extension that auto-fills your vehicle info on parts sites like RockAuto and AutoZone, a community-vouched trusted shops map, and a vehicle selling wizard with state-specific bill of sale generation.

Free tier gives you 1 vehicle with a full diagnostic.


Mikeal was extremely welcoming to me when I met him over a decade ago, It was either JSConf or NodeCamp, He was always super insightful and encouraging to my personal growth as an engineer and open source contributor. NodeJS wouldn't be what it is without him, especially the community around it in the early days. I got to work with him for a bit at protocol labs. This is a major loss to open source


I live at a _very_ loud and busy intersection in downtown manhattan, it's usually gridlocked every day from 4pm - 7pm at least. That hasn't happened once since congestion pricing kicked in (I'm enjoying the relative quiet, but I do sort of miss the chaos). The first two days, everything was covered in snow down here. I wonder how much this will hold up into summertime.

As an unrelated aside a new bmw sedan driving the wrong way on mulberry street intentionally ran into me at a crosswalk today. So don't let your guard down lol
