Tacos in St. Louis area

Just buy an F150 already . . .

 

@VangaSTL I’m in bro

 

what kind of damage you talking there to total your truck?

 

Then I cant come to mod day lol besides, the tundra is bigger than the F150 and doesnt do the stupid shutoff every time your at a stop light thing

 

Fify

 

But eco-booooooost

 

OVtune is making a Ecoboost killer kit for the Tacoma right now. So Ecboooooooooooooost wont mean much, much longer!

 

Rear mount turbo ??

 

That's good to know for the truck at work lol but I definitely dont want the EcoBoost crap I'll take the V8 all day over that.

 

You`ve never heard of those kits before tojo? Its not a uncommon setup man, Ive seen it a few times. Sides its not rear mounted, a real rear mounted is back by the back of the car, which HAS been done before an did work fine.

 

Oh yea I have. STS or whoever it was came out with a rear mount for the Gen1 Tacos years ago.

 

i recall my boss at the time tried to one up me a year after he saw me pulling into the shop lot in my sporty Tacoma
he got himself one of these and used similar words 'this one is cheaper'

 

idk about STS but I do know about it on a sports car. His setup has both side by side under the cab, which would work.

 

Naw I get that. They definitely have their place. But where does that put the air filter on a truck ?

 

Stock box! It uses the stock box an feeds the twins off it.

 

On the OVtune kit ?? Interesting !

 

Plus the tundra will last far more than the 100,000 miles the f150 will. The 5.7 is one of the best motors toyota has ever made. That’s why I got my tundra this year, before they pulled a 3rd gen on it and ruined it.

Although 4 years later and tuned, I don’t have any complaints about the 3.5. Too bad toyota screwed the pooch from the factory.

 

That they did, but now their finally getting the trans fixed.

 

It was a 2006 corolla. They said there was like $5k in damage or something and it was repairable and we were like uh, wtf are you valuing the car at? Towed it 800 miles home and had it appraised by someone else who went through it much more thoroughly and they totaled it.


We then found his unicorn truck a few days later before it even went through dealer prep and hit the lot



We also got a killer deal since apparently I’ve bought too many vehicles

 

My buddy’s f150 was fine until 90k miles

Since then he’s had (90-110k) the following fail:
Trailer brake controller (factory integrated)
Fuel pump
Fuel pump control board
Throttle body
Door lock actuators on 2 doors

And some other stuff I can’t remember. It’s left him stranded twice in the last 6 months, which isn’t good when you are traveling all over the country...
