PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

C4...?

No big loss!

However, I do remember they recreated that on MythBusters with a pig carcass...

I once bought some model trucks at a garage sale in like 2006. The seller was a chain-smoker who smoked in his house. These models had been in the house for at least a decade, and no amount of washing could get that "dive bar" smell out of these models. I ended up throwing most of them out...

 

YES!

 

Exactly!!

 

What I was more curious about is what would happen if you simply jumpstarted that Jeep after it sat for 5 years and drove it without changing any fluids or tuning it up...

Imagine it's just a vehicle that was parked for 5 years and there's no dead body in it...

 

I had my 78 Jeep CJ5 parked in my Garage for about 10 years one time. And jump started it and drove it to my new house no problem.

 

So that '03 Liberty Renegade may very well have fired right up and moved under it's own power after sitting for 5 years?

 

I would think so, 5 years is nothing for a vehicle to sit as long as it is protected from the weather. I am sure the tires would have flat spots. unless it was on stands,but that might be all. My Jeep is on stands right now about 4" up in the air and I start it about twice a year.

 

I wonder how long my Tacoma could sit unused without needing a tuneup...?

 

Military Tacoma owners leave their Tacoma's all the time while they are overseas. I would use a battery tender if I had to leave mine. I know my Tacoma sat outside for about 5 or 6 months this year while I had Chemo and a Kidney tumor removed and all that happened was the battery died and would not take a charge.

 

The 2.7L is bulletproof!

2010 AC SR5 5-lug, stick shift, barcelona red, less than than 35K miles...

They're asking less than even the lowest KBB value, at a dealership in New Jersey!

The title is apparently clean, but that doesn't mean shit in my opinion. I am a bit tempted to trade my 2010 RC for this truck (or sell it privately and buy this truck), but I don't know it's history...

Maybe the frame is shot? There are no pictures of the frame...

More photos from the Hershey trip...

Nobody expected to get this much snow!

I got up at probably 4am-5am to use the bathroom, happened to look out the window of my hotel room, and took these pictures...

 

December 30th, 2017:

I took these later that morning at like 9:30am-10am, after getting some more sleep of course...




In the backseat of my dad's Pilot, heading to Troeg's brewery...

 

I'm sure it was driven by a little old lady who only took it to church and the grocery store

 

Yeah, but a little old lady would have gotten one with a slushbox. My late Grandmother did knew how to drive stick, and even drove my uncle's '78 VW Westfalia once, but she stopped driving stick after she got fake knees in like 1991 or 1992...

And that price seems too low... A used car dealer would usually gouge the shit out of it...

 

Go check it out yo!

 

Tempted, but honestly if I got another Tacoma I'd want it to be 4x4...

 

Frame damage?
