You made the correct decision

Buying the caddy was not

 

Just beat google estimates for fuel consumption on my 34-year old enduro.



Just recorded 4.8L/100km (49 US mpg) commuting for the last week, rippin’ @ 90km/h each way on my 24km trip.

Put on about 1,100 kms this year so far, saving ~8L/100km (compared to Taco) @ $2/L = $176. Hopefully my fuel savings this summer covers my insurance and the $200 worth of clutch parts I had to order last week. 34 years on the original aint too bad.

 

Come drive it.

 

I'm sure it's fun to drive, but so iz a moped

How many pedals?

And it's a GM, so, diminished desire to own

Cooled seats must be fine tho...

 

2012 Subaru Outback. 83Kms 1 owner old peeps

@3JOH22A and others chime in for issues pre-emptively...buddy just bought one for his daughter


Since this is no longer a Tacoma thread

 

Nvm the bike...speak more of the 3rd gen runner behind it

 

Just a 3RZ donor to my first gen, the frame and body are rotten, can barely hold its own weight. UPS driver dropped off my conversion engine mounts today.



My first gen is going from chevy 350 auto trans to 3RZ manual

 

What about the pro grille bois?

 

Ahem....


Heritage....


HERITAGE GRILL

 

Hows tires? i kinda contemplated getting a street bike for my 104km daily round trip but i was told tires wear too fast to make it worthwhile

 

I miss my 85 so much...keep us up to speed on the 1st G

 

Cooled seats freak me out...like peeing your pants.
Track mode VMode and Race mode make it.
Never can replace the third pedal...so to satisfy your urge ...I present you this

 

See, I'd rather drive that bowtie...but only if I get to wear your engineers hat whilst doing so! I HAZ STANDARDZ DAMMIT!!!!!

And you know the deficiency of my IROC...don't judge

 

yeah, about those…

call it whatever, but deep down you know… oh well, I am guilty of having one back in my overland days…

 

You can have my Hoggers (Engineers) Hat when this gets to zero....hell I'll train you and you can have it now!

 

Some parts porn, compressing under the truck didn’t work out, they are too tall, waiting on Amazon suicide compression kit now…




Washed, painted and fixed little things at the back here and there. Debating to change fuel pump or not… I have one from recall, but there is nothing wrong with this one.

 

1/2 on its own weight again after hangin out for 2(ish?) months for a couple hours of work

 

Deal!

Do your bosses frown upon delaying the holy shit brakes for the Darwin contestants? That might be a showstopper for me cuz I'd power up

 

Still need to adjust the shocks but I’ve fallen back in love with it.

Minus the part it cost $5 in gas just to pull it out of the garage

 

I have Pirelli MT21 which are 90/10 tires, and a few (less than 10) hard asphalt stops have shown on the front tire. Rear is roughly 1/2 worn. I have roughly 3,000kms on them. I will get 5,000kms out of both, but def not 10,000kms.

They are SUPER loud even offroad. Anything over 70km/h they are prominent. I’d need eArplugs for 104kms daily.

My 17” rear rim reduced my choice in tires, but I planned to pretty much keep to that 90/10 ratio. I’ll buy another of this same set when I need new ones rather than give up my insane levels of grip in gravel.
