New England B.S. Thread

Give me a tag if they come out! Try to make them use the LED turn signals so I can keep using my fancy ones I bought off that meso guy on here Ha.

 

Yup, same reason I won't buy GM anymore. Not because of the bad luck per se, but because of the lies I was told at every level about the problem.

 

Burn all the dead dinosaurs

 

@Cativelense I got pretty worried when I opened this thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/truck-accident.545724/

Apparently you're not the only one!

 

I have the same one. I use it every season to fluid flilm my FJ. It is almost a necessity if doing it via aerosol can.

Good idea.

 

I get 38 out of the beater Civic, it's great

 

Yeah the more I do to the truck the more I think about getting a daily driver that actually gets decent mileage. Maybe I'll get a Rav4 again. Or maybe an F150. Who knows.

Then I'll be able to regear and go with 35s!

 

Fortunately, my commute is short enough that I won't be looking at that much extra $$ per week in fuel costs.

Edit- Plus, I'm encouraged by the fact that I'm getting 15mpg even though they've still got winter blend fuel at my local gas station. Hopefully I can pick up a mile or two once we get the summer blend stuff in.

 

Have some extra parts if anyone wants them. I don't really feel like shipping so I figured I would post it here instead of the regular 2nd gen Buy/Sell/Trade. Everything is negotiable. Open to trades. Located in Framingham, MA.

*PENDING SALE* Mud flaps. Most of the clips are broken so I suggest getting all new ones. $20


Badges were plasti dipped. Not the best plasti dip job. $10


Rear seat bins from 2013 Double Cab. $100
Sway bar with endlinks and rubber bushings. Mounting brackets can be included if needed. $60

 

I thought about getting a Rav4. I'd probably lift that too and ruin the good mpgs it gets

 

Ain't a damn thing wrong with that. I can get 20-23 from my truck depending on time of year with city driving.

What do the bikes get for MPG?

 

Can't beat them for a SUV. Cupcake has the 2005 she got after the Tacoma was bought back in 2008. Getting to decision time on keep or sell at 157K but it's up to her.

 

That's my worry about most of the vehicles I'd like to get. F150, F250, Wrangler, 4Runner, etc. I think a Rav4 is (mostly) safe though. I'd definitely put some subs in it. And try and black it out.

 

Depends on the bike. My Ninja 250 got 70 all day long. My Suzuki M50 got around 50-55.

Edit- My Ninja 636 only got like 35 when I had it, but I drove it...enthusiastically.

 

The 2019 "Adventure Grade" Rav4 doesn't look too bad.

 

def needs a set of wheels and tires, roof basket, light bar, rally mud flaps, snorkel, and some steel in that lower front valence

 

Yeah maybe there will be a TRD Pro version

 

It looks like an FJ humped a Legacy and 9 months later that popped out of the garage.
