    Yeah I was tempted to call them but never did. If they would pay me about $10k and if I could find a lowwr mileage TRD 4x4 v6 5spd for 10k, I'd have sold it.

    I haven't really rode a bike yet. actually scratch that I have with 2 other people but not driving one. I only drove a normal small petal bike. But hopefully sometime before summer I can buy a used one and learn on that.

    I kinda of wish I put Moog ball joints but until next time. I been wondering if Moog is beter than OEM ball joints. Any info on that?

    The whole time I owned my truck I haven't been asked more than 2 people. I guess people in Arkansas don't know what a good vehicle is.

    From my experience around my college shop, lot of people use moog. I guess I'll be switching back to OEM once these ball joints go out.

    If you let your ball joints go out your bed could fall off.

    Well I had driven it on that pass before tent, slider, rear bumper.Then again I have driven it everywhere this summer and didn't notice too much of a difference with elevation change. I'm gonna trust you guys. I'm not gonna waste the time and money on it with little, if any, change.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    There's an equation for elevational power loss if your curious. That and your tent are the largest contributing power loss factors at high speed. Or you could just drive it like I do and rev the shit out of it, 4500rpm pulls before switching gears. All these engine are happy to rev. I've pulled mtn passes in 3rd gear at 4000rpm for miles, engine just sings along.

    Haha. That's actually 9mm hollow point on top and 10mm hollow point on the bottom. I wouldn't have been so precise with buckshot, lol.

    Fuck no... north east cancer frame. I'd only buy from climates like my own, where rusted out frames is a cute story we read about online but will likely never experience

    Just checked my recalls they can fix my trailer harness. Which is awesome because when the PO had it somebody slashed the harness. I'll get to that eventually since I have no need for it yet
