PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

My best friend’s mom gave me an early Christmas present from her collection!

 

Some more items from her collection...

 

Outside my friend’s house again...

 

Drove through Doylestown on the way home from my friend’s house in Perkasie; My friend who owns Coach’s lives in the apartment above the restaurant and they were out on the enclosed porch. I ended up getting invited inside for a couple hours, and here are pictures of my truck from the second floor...

Ended up taking my friend's brand new $42,000 Tundra SR5 for an impromptu test drive tonight; When I showed up at their apartment, they'd been drinking all evening. My friend's husband is legally blind and can no longer drive, and she was pretty drunk. Her truck was parked behind the restaurant/apartment building, and she wanted it parked out front where it was in view of the restaurant's CCTV camera. Having had two bears roughly six hours earlier I was the only sober one there, so with the understanding that Pat (the legally blind husband) went with me, I went to move the truck...

It's a CrewMax, so it has the short bed, but that truck is nowhere near as maneuverable as my Tacoma! Luckily, it had a backup camera and the sensors that beeped if you got too close to anything. This was a brand new 2020 Tundra with less than 1,900 miles on the clock, and what I say? I liked it; However, if I bought a Tundra it would have to be a double cab with either the 6-foot bed or 8-foot bed!

 

Even though my one friend is legally blind, he can still see; In his drunken wisdom, he decided to start lobbing snowballs across the street. The first one smacked into the roof of my truck, and it sounded like it hit a lot harder than it did. I kinda glared at my friend and was like "Dude, watch the truck..."

The second snowball made it across the street, but landed in the snow a couple of feet from the garbage can he was aiming for...

 

First snowball landed on the roof of my truck, and the second one landed across the street...

 

I could never fit a Tundra in my garage, plus l bet you are right about it not being anywhere near as maneuverable as a Tacoma.

 

A 1st Gen regular cab or access cab, maybe...

 

One of the early Tundra's with MT would be pretty cool.

 

Yeah, but you couldn't get it with a V8, and I'm told 3.4L Tundras felt underpowered even with the manual...

 

Right l had a 1st Gen Tacoma 3.4, think it made around 190 HP

 

Exactly 190hp; I think the last of the 1st Gen Tundras came standard with the 4.0L V6 and 6-speed stick, like the 2nd Gen Tacos...

 

Yeah the 4.0 scoots along pretty good too.

 

I bet the current Tundra's drink fuel at an alarming rate.

 

My truck drinks fuel at an alarming rate!

 

I have been pretty happy with MPG on my truck, its honestly not too bad. The only place it does kinda bad is with speeds over 70 with the windows down and sunroof open.

 

I got 22 MPG driving home from Carlisle last August; 70-80 MPH, A/C cranked...

 

Thats not too bad, the MT 3rd Gen has 4.30 Gears so high speed driving is not best for MPG.

 

But I've got a 4-banger; I feel like my truck should be getting 25 MPG+...
