Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Throw some tire shine on 'em. They'll be fine

 

Sign them and sell them off as collectible assman memorabilia?

give them to the welding guy to have class make something out of?

 

These are both excellent ideas!

I expect them to become wall art, if nothing else.

 

We're renting a house in Salt Lake City for the daughters wedding. Turns out she has friends that live next door to this house.....and across the street.....and another one across the street.
They have all come over to introduce themselves.
Small world.

 

THIS!

 

Started trying to clean the truck up some from the past few offroad events. @Stoney Ranger kept saying the dust in Moab is a gift that keeps on giving; but, honestly that milk chocolate mud hole we went through on the first day is the never-ending gift. It has honestly stained my radiator hoses (guess its time to upgrade to silicon ones...) It is everywhere in the engine compartment and won't come off without a scrub. And then the scratches from Applefest... need new buffing wheels to account for that. How am I ever going to get new tires with all these extraneous expenses????

 

Just when you think you got something clean, it rains and Moab dust reappears.
I've got dried Moab mud on the floor carpet and it dried on like cement.

 

Cement was the mud at Tigerton last weekend. I literately pulled a brick of it packed in by the LCA and skid plate. $12 at the Pay & Spray was only a start. Ugh....

 

Were all the trails open?

 

Yes they reopened Last Friday, and were quite sloppy with lots of water in the mud holes. Only picture I got was the little Chevy that could about to yank out a stuck jeep.


We hung out with this group on Saturday, 15 Jeeps the Chevy and me. Was a blast and everyone was very nice. Except one guy didn't seem to like that a Tacoma could do everything his Jeep was doing lol.

 

FIFY

 

Get some tire shine and spray the engine bay. Let it sit for 10ish minutes and hose it off. After it dries, tire foam the engine again. And let that dry.

 

As a fellow Wisconsinite, do you guys have a line on where I could get a tune done locally? I live in the Madison area. KD Maxx or OTT would be fine I think.
Thank you in advance for any help!

 

Finished product.Easy peasy. Did this 2 weeks ago. No scrubbing at all.

Careful of the alternator. Don't get it wet. Bad ju-ju.

 

So on another forum that I occasionally visit, there was a thread on the new Bronco. Oddly enough, there are people having issues, so I had to pop in and see what's up.

I couldn't resist responding to this post...

I'm not shocked that people who actually try to take a factory vehicle off road trail riding, or especially hardcore off roading, are breaking factory parts.

Bronco owners will learn what Jeep owners know all too well....these factory vehicles are not well suited to take off road.

If you want to off road a vehicle and not break shit, the aftermarket and a good credit card tends to be the solution.

My reply:
Or just use a stock Tacoma, 4Runner or Land Cruiser.

 

That response should go over well. Lol

 

Interestingly enough, quite a few other Toyota drivers are in there making somewhat similar comments. Everyone is being nice and polite, but I'm sure the Jeep and Bronco owners are less than pleased... lol

 

My take on this comment is that I shouldn't be taking my 4R to the places I take it. Seems to work O.K. for me.
