Colorado B.S. Thread

After driving my mom's 08'ish Honda Ridgeline v6... I continue to sulk over how shitty my 4.0 Toyota v6 is. This thing feels so damn peppy, no issues on the highway. I'm driving in OH/KY/TN, "mountains" and using the cruise control and it's either just revved or dropped a gear without me noticing instead of dropping a great and going WOT up the smallest of hills like I'm used to in my truck. I wouldn't want to do the off-road stuff in this truck but there's no reason my 7 year newer truck should have less power/torque and mpg, and this thing is awd.

Rant over.

 

i hear ya, i rented a hyundai sonata hybrid last week. felt like it had more tq than my sc 4.0, shamefull. but it didnt do nearly as well as my taco off road. guess you have to pick your battles.

 

just throwing it out there. im new to the area and have no friends that go wheeling out here (like to meet some). im north of denver metro area in brighton (just off the 25 and the 7 (next exit after the 470) and have facilities that we can work on stuff. any 1 day mod (and others if need be) that someone might need help with im down. ive built complete off road trucks and do know wiring. (and these finicky toyotas). tube bender, notchers, small lathe, blast cabinet (comes in supper handy) welders (tig and mig) plasma cutter (get rid off all that unnecessary sheet metal)
im just a hobbyist that likes trucks and would like to meet other like minded individuals.
a little pic of the shop.

 

The 25, the 470? You must be Californian.

 

....and there's the picture of his plates

 

I'm oblivious.

 

Sorry to butt in but you're the guy driving to CVT right? May I ask how many tents you're picking up?

 

Awesome! A mod day location with a full shop including a lift is bad ass! You just became everyone's new best friend haha.

 

haha yes another ca transplant. but i assure you im not a typical ca import.
should i have said the I25 and E470? what do you call coke out here. pop or soda?

 

yeah but @Kappes03 he lives way up by that guy that none of us even see or speak to anymore!! @Hoyal

 

Just leave out "the" haha.
You'll find it called either or.. I used to say pop but now I say soda.

I wanna get out and move back home just to use your sweet shop haha.

 

Shoot I'd make the drive haha.

 

Depends how old you are. Older folk tend towards pop with the younguns leaning towards soda.

 

I25 is the valley highway and we call it "blow"

 

Not my fault you guys all live in old peopleville down south. my wife needs to get her damn school finished so I can go back to the fun lifestyle.

 

i call it coke. guess its a west coast thing. but i still call beer, beer. and i love it out here. other than grocery stores.

 

why not booger sugar!!!

 

Yeah, not being able to buy alcohol in most grocery stores is a real bummer. That's one thing California got right. I lived in San Luis Obispo for 6 years.

 

that might be the only thing komiefornia got right. everything else is a cluster f. i hate that state. and i lived there for 31 years.

 

do you have the lights in your rear bumper wired into your reverse wiring? I'm looking into tying my rigids into the reverse wires so they go on when in reverse as well as having an auxiliary switch to turn them on whenever. Found a few threads about it but got confused lol
