Tacos in St. Louis area

Thinking more of the "starting point" based on vehicle weight, spring rate, and wheel/tire choice. A fast-spinning E-rated tire over whoops likely requires different damping than a slow-spinning C-rated tire crawling over rocks. It's the whole "I need to drive fast over whoops in the desert" versus "I need to crawl slow over crazy obstacles" dilemma, combined with actual vehicle characteristics. Sounds like they at least attempt to address it, which is cool, but it's so complicated and hurts my brain.

 

Thanks for the vote of confidence but I'm going to stay away from electrical stuff for a little bit lol next upgrade will be a front bumper with new power steering cooler cause it should be here in the next few weeks. So has there been a date set for July yet? Need to get something on the calendar before the wife fills it up with stuff lol

 

It's a sad day in my house, I sold the Taco today. I have a center console tray if anyone wants it, 2016 and newer. I will be around the area occasionally, I might have 2 rail tie downs too.

 

Congrats on the sale, or sorry to hear about that. I’m sure you have your reasons. Curious though what’s the resale looking like these days?

 

$30,200.

 

Belize update: there's a thread on TW somewhere where people are bitching about the Hilux vs the Tacoma.

Here's the deal: the Hilux is a cheaper work truck on the lower end, but it rides like a railroad car on gravel. The higher trims are cool, but at the end of t day, the taco pulls better, drives better, is faster, looks better, and is just overall more enjoyable.

Point to the Hilux for the 3.0L workhorse Diesel.

Also: holy crap does everybody make midsize trucks outside of the US.... and other than VW and Nissan, they're all plastic junk. Rangers suck. Mitsubishi's are cheap feeling. Great Wall "Wiggle" (Chinese bullcrap) is everywhere with it's 3 speed tranny, plastic bumpers and plastic wheels. P. O. S. Newer Mazdas look and ride like Honda's.

WTF.

If you want a real truck, stick to full size American. If you want a real midsize, Tacoma Frontier/Navara, and the VW.



Also internet is very spotty.... So I spotted this

 

Why are you all worked up about it?

 

How about you smuggle back some motors and manual trans from the hilux. Next mod day with be diesel swaps into tacos

Just keep @Willy224 away from the electrical and hide all the cutting tools from @Tacomania lol

 

Hey, @Willy224 had the opportunity to join this trip and see it all for himself

 

You know i am well equipped right

 

So sliders aren't very fun to put on by yourself

 

RCI ftw
Yeah. They’re a bitch by yourself

 

Looks good, chicks dig it!

 

I only got the passenger side on last night. Took about an hour and a half after having to unbolt it and slide it forward for the wiring harness plate bolt holes to line up

 

are you saying chicks don't dig the shiny polished chrome mirrors on a black taco

 

IDK, my chick digs me not buying truck and motorcycle parts..

 

Sure in Florida I believe
