Manual transmission Fan Club and BS thread (All Generations Welcome)

Yep guy lives close by I just may have to

 

Yeah guess what I'm saving up for and trying to figure out again? Thanks for grabbing the wheel and tire BTW

 

No problem!!

 

I'm trying to save up for and figure out a lift again. I think I'm going a different route this time and trying OME except Bilstein shocks in the rear. Keep your ears open if you know anybody with a 4 cyl looking for an LCE header

 

Sounds good! And I'll keep an eye out for some suspension for you. I think you'll be pleased with 5100/886 or 887

 

I'm looking at OME 9000 struts and 885 coils in the front and dakars, since I'm pulling the camper and this truck is heavier, and bilstein rear shocks. I've got enough for the front now saving for the rear

 

Ah I gotcha. I missed the part about bilstein in the rear. The B110s would work great with the dakars. They're just extended length 5100s.

 

I used to say the same thing, love man in my jeep and ride motorcycles, but i do enjoy enjoy everyday driving in my automatic

 

yep that's what I was looking at maybe extended brake lines as well. Just a little worried the dakars might make the ass way high but I'll cross that bridge when I get there I guess

 

I love my Core-Hurst short throw with T-handle. Hitting reverse is easy by placing the palm of my hand at the end of the T-handle and pulling toward me. I can't imagine driving with an OEM shifter again.

 

Bought my Taco about a month and a half ago. I listed every feature I wanted and they kept nodding their heads until I said, "manual." Their faces dropped and they said, "yeah hang on, that's gonna be a challenge." Luckily, they found two in the entire state and had one of them there the next day.

 

yeah, you did lol. Mine refuses to even learn to drive a manual.

 

My wife refuses to drive anything with an automatic. LOL!

 

I know someone, as I am that some one.

What are you looking to get out of it?

 

I just got it this past Christmas and t was only on the truck for a few months with little driving as I've been out of work it will need airpump gaskets I've been asking $325 but is negotiable. If your a ways away shipping is of course not cheap sadly

 

I'm just north of Pittsburgh, PA. 16201. Who do you use to ship?

 

ups I just got a uote for Atlanta last week and it was $40 so should be about the same or less also could look into TW express or meeting somewhere

 

PM Sent.

 

You're close enough we could do a TW express.

EDIT: Nevermind, not as close as I thought. I was thinking Philly. It's still doable though.

 

I think we might have it all worked out, but thanks for the offer!
