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

Ah shit, you're right haha - didn't even realize that. FWIW, I did wake up for the first weekend of flaking. The 4Runner just didn't want to cooperate. At least it's the start of the season and plenty of time to get some weekend wheeling trips in

 

Lmao... we're still in the shake down part of the year.

Your Runner didn't want to cooperate... my coilover decided to explode and my on board air decided to shit the bed, that same day.

It's all part of the process.




Least I got wife's approval on new coilovers out of that deal

 

New shiney thingys just showed up on my desk

 

Details???

 

This.

Subbie owner is lucky that someone just didn't push his shit off the road (plate bumper to plastic bumper), unless it was broke down.

 

That's a closely guarded proprietary secret son.

 

Same if you're on the California side of the border... though Nevada is starting to fine people more.

Most of our fines come from water crossing fails though.

 

If there was a fine to be given in this situation...

Has everyone forgotten about the car... parked in the middle of a right of way? You know... the "fire" road... that's there, not only for recreation, but more importantly, emergency services... like "fire" personnel.



We went around the vehicle... yes... just like if there was a boulder in the road. And we made less distubance than the 5 or 10 vehicles that had driven 20 yards off the trail to get around the fallen tree the Subaru parked nosed up to... plus we removed the tree so it would no longer be an obstical in the road.

You can sit in judgement, and say this about Colorado, or that about Utah, or this other thing about Idaho. Bottom line is we drove around 2/3rds of the width of the trucks to get around a vehicle parked in the middle of the road, blocking access. THAT is what would have, and should have, gotten a fine.

 

Agreed, I don't think anyone rational could look at this situation and blame you guys a bit. Nor should they.

However, California does things which defy logic, simply for the virtue of being CA.

 

Report his plate and picture. Subaru needs some way of knowing that he's an inconsiderate idiot.


I'm not saying I would have done anything any different. Just not post a picture going around because of the internet nazis.

I can see a headline about Karen being traumatized that these offroaders were harassing her and a hole bunch of fictional facts being made up to suit there narrative. Just something to keep in mind with the internet.

 

Exactly why we decided not to hook it up and pull it out of our way


Believe me... that was strongly considered.

 

I woulda left the asshole a note on the windshield!

 

I take a ton of pictures whenever I take something apart, even if I've done it before, saved me more than once.

 

Just saw a case of this on the morning news. Lady calling the cops about "A black man harassing her and her dog," getting a hysterical. Guy filmed most of it. He had asked her to put the dog on its leash. She was dragging it around on its hind legs by the collar as all this was going on. Good outcome though, her employer, along with thousands on the internet, saw it and let her go, and she returned the dog to the shelter where she had gotten it.

 

Damnit Matt, you never do anything right.




(I don’t know what’s going on, just popping in on one of the few moments of service I’ve gotten this month)

 

Camped on a ridge actually, lasts days Sunday.....

 

High fives and what have ya.
