Good thing he doesn’t live at home.

 

Being your own boss is the best way to do thing haha

 

As opposed to when I showed up with a used and abused hideous 20 year old Toyota pickup truck with half a million miles?

 

I do, 21 to be exact haha

 

So if you are calculating mpg off your stock odometer it's wrong. With stock gears & a larger diameter tire your speedo would be slower. Which doesn't make sense cause that would show that your mpg would be even worse than stock.

 

Definitely. I definitely don’t work as many hours as a server or a cook, but I only work during the weekends and breaks. I usually hire out my friends to help me so I’m never doing this myself.

And my dad likes to help, so free labor there. Haha.

This mainly funds my savings and my hobbies.

 

Spoken like a true Father.

 

Where is he now? Back at the dorms?

 

It’s kinda hard around my town to find a job that pays more than $10 an hour unless you’re working under the table or on a farm.

 

I’m home for the weekend, I leave late Sunday night to miss all that wonderful Bay Area traffic.

 

Your future IS300 or tools. Please teach him the basics of cars/trucks to many people don't know what oil is

 

Congrats! Definitely a handful! Becoming a father, everything changes. Trust me, totally worth it. Best wishes to you both!

 

with a dead on speedometer the best I've gotten is 23


5 speed, manual hubs

 

The OEM supplier hasn’t manufactured these since 1995.

 

what's wrong with working on a farm?

 

I'm pretty happy with 21 given the 4.10s and 33s. 5 speed and manual hub are great of course too. My trouble is staystaying out of the Supercharger

 

Yep, haha 4x4 and a couple inches lifted, front tube bumper and winch, 9 gallons of gas gets me more than 200mi..

Actually, it depends what year of truck and how mileage is calculated. Come for a ride with me sometime I'd love to show you accurate speedo at 25, 35, 45, and 55mph with radar!

 

mmmmm boooooost

Nothing. I’m just saying there’s no conventional job that pays more than $10 an hour for a teenager/college student. My brother has worked on our 1,400 acre cattle farm for the last few years cause he really likes farming but I haven’t done it yet (I lifeguarded the last few years), but I might this summer unless I can find another job.
