What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Come to Indiana, we had a snow storm wednesday morning that put down 3 inches and by 5 oclock the snow was all gone and it was 45* out.

 

I was offered like a 2012 F150 with Front and back lockers for a pretty good deal, woulda been an awesome truck to hunt out of. Probably woulda jumped on it if I had any income at all haha... more sad than funny....

 

Nope i've seen enough snow for one lifetime. These people that dream of a white Christmas where the ones that got too drunk the night before.

 

Meh, one wire fixes that. Doubt one wire can fix the Ferd.

 

You must be from California...

 

My buddy has a 2012, thing is fun as hell and did well with stock all seasons, he now has the raptor wheels with falken wildpeaks. He wants to long travel it or just buy used Raptor suspension. I miss having a V8 truck, between his and my dad's I feel so left behind.

We really don't get much in central indiana, just enough to piss me off and for them to salt the hell out of the roads.

 

Grass ain’t always greener on the other side.

 

I’d think they have to be fairly reliable too, all the oilfield companies around here use F150’s for company trucks, so lots of run time and miles on dirt and pavement.

I didn’t know the suspensions were interchangeable, but I guess it makes sense.... add that to the Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda list.

 

In NW IL we got 10-12" of snow... It was all gone 24 hours after it stopped snowing.

Oil field companies use them cause they are cheap to buy and cheap to fix

 

We had the knuckles off too. It did take some time to get the new one on. Once we got it centered, it was just a matter of pressing it in with the tool. Here's a pic of how we did it:

 

Even better

 

Yup

I only stay in ND for the money. I would not recommend moving here unless you like crap weather for six months and ugly women. I'm surprised no one has opened a fleshlight retreading service in this state yet.

 

Notice I didn’t say cause they are reliable...

 

Meh, we have 5 Fords and all have been great reliable vehicles.

He has 150k on his and it runs like new. We just did plugs in it for the first time that he knows of and they weren't bad at all. We just sold our 5.4L 01 F150 and never had any major issues with it and that's supposed to be a junk motor according to the internet lol. I'll get a Ford for my next full size so I can lug my truck to the offroad parks around here and if I break it I can still get home.

 

I have a 2014 F150 with the 5.0 90k and not a single problem

 

I’ve heard the new ones are pretty fast too, and they look pretty nice too.

That’s probably enough talk about F150’s haha, someone’s gonna get butthurt.

 

They are quick. I am done with the Ford talk lol

 

Im betting you're in a spot that 99+% of the population is only there for the job... If you know how to deal with the weather then it can be just as much fun as any other weather.
