A guy I flew with at North Island, we also owned a house together in Coronado, got out early and went to USC and got a Masters in Production Manufacturing...he did two "Green Fields" for Toyota, one in Indiana and the other the TJ facility mentioned above.
I absolutely loved production work, lean work, etc...I would have stayed on that track in the Navy but managing two careers was more critical so I stayed in acquisition and test.
My three years at the Sikorsky Factory in Bridgeport as the Chief Government pilot, not exactly Toyota but we tried with Lean Events, remains my absolute favorite three years doing anything.
That tour also prepared me for negotiating large aircraft contracts...you learn a lot.
Before i go look, is there a seat lowering option on the Tacoma? When we move I plan on selling the Tundra and getting something smaller.
