it is what it is.. it's useful to me for downshifting on mountain grades and staying off the brakes.

also, if you are in 5th on the highway and mash it, it's likely going to drop down to 4th gear. it isn't going to hold 5th gear. you also cannot lock it to 2nd gear to prevent spinning tires when starting out on slippery conditions.

 

Bought in November. 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD off-road. Love the truck.

Here is a few of the new items on it.

First I got a cap on it. It is a Leer100r with Windoor sliders and a removeable front window. I also have a power block on the left with three D.C. Power plugs.

Next I put the T4R TRD Pro wheels on with 265/70/17 Cooper STT Pros. I do not want to much lift and definitely did not want to lose power without re gearing.

Next I had headrest DVD players installed for my two kids for the long trips out west and south for camping and exploring. Keeping kids happy longer keeps me traveling further.

I currently have an Icon stage 4 sitting in the garage to install. My garage space has become none existent. I may have my local garage do the work.

I have CBI sliders and a PrinsuDesign cab and cap rack on order.

Future plans are an SSO slim front bumper with winch. The rear I haven't decided if I want a rear tire swing again. I had one on my 80 series and it was great to have the spare there. Annoying to get in the back of truck. Still undecided I suppose. I also am looking at skid coverage.

 

Lower RPMs have a higher friction coefficient. This is why I recommend that on cold days the very second you start your engine you mash the throttle for several minutes to prevent damage.

 

Got my Blue Stripes to add to my Subdued Flag!

Installed!

 

No it does not.

 

Well that seems to settle it. Thanks.

 

Great looking VW is it the 16V?

 

Not something I would normally post, but just to help get this thing back on topic. I upgraded my spare tire to Cooper MTP. Normally would have done it when I replaced the OEM tires, but didn't have the cash at the time.
Now

 

I'm in Standish.

 

I will, thanks. I like old school, don't care about wasting resources, or the EPA or what Toyota "care" says...just last year the 4 cylinder engine was a 5k OCI according to their "engineers"..., this year it's a 10k, I'll stick to 5k, piss on Toyota "care" and some punk tech engineer college boy.

 

Kids are expensive. Trucks are expensive. Enjoy never having money again

 

I had prob 8 or 9 played. And I try getting back on but between work now life it hasn't been working out

 

Can I ask what age she is? I just had to battle with my wife.......of course I lost and my 2 year old just got a Full Size bed..lol. She loves it.......but we went Frozen sheet set.

 

I think you just wanted an excuse to post pictures of vdub......BUT I WILL TAKE IT! Looks great.

I hope to pick up another project soon, I had a 69 Bug, and couple of newer Audis....I miss my euros.

 

You need to plasti dip the grill to match all the other black accents on the truck. That will set it off!

 

Good on ya mate!!!!!

 

Quick question for everyone. I looked through the owners manual but could not locate the answer. What is the appropriate interval for oil changes?

As far as what i've done lately, i got a roll up Tonneau cover.
