Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

Yep, I've been there too. I am learning quickly that the Ozarks offer a unique variety of "Oh shi.." inducing turns and surprises. It doesn't help that with all our stuff, coolers and kayaks really make my wheezy 4banger truck feel like a pregnant cow.

However, I'm still considering it

 

The great thing about a 4 banger is you have more time to take in the scenery. The back of a semi truck, for example.

 

I have an automatic, sometimes the semis pass me

 

Don't have much to lose trying it. Yank it off the next time you have the skid plate off. Drive it around and see if it matches your driving habits.

 

Honestly, it would make driving over the dumb traffic circles a lot smoother

 

That it would good sir!

 

Never really had too much issue with that either. I can lock it up and get it to stop in a car length or so in dry conditions. Wet/icy conditions I'm not going nearly as fast. What pisses me off most is when I leave a car length in front of me so I don't have to worry about demoing someone with my steel bumper and people take that as a free invitation to cut me off.

Also, I've lifted the tire enough the trac light flashes more times than I can count since doing it and once you get used to it, it's not scary and you realize you're fine. Probably helps I flexed out my truck to see the limits and I can literally stuff the front right and the rear left and it still isn't ready to roll with 23" of up on the rear tire.

 

You'll never stop stupid from stupiding, just give them room to stupid over there

 

I will say, if you ditch it, you'll be recalibrating your VSC every time you get an alignment.

 

Trac light? vsc? What’s that?



I don’t even have abs

 

This is literally me EVERY DAY heading south on 71 leaving work. I just crank up the radio and smile...knowing my bumper would absolutely destroy that 98 civic if they decided to slam on the brakes.

 

You don't count, you have no nannies in your truck!

 

OH believe me I'm pretty tempted to see what I can do with it. It's bounced a deer, it'll move a sedan.

 

Forgot to message you, I was passing through your new AO last Thursday around 0900 ish

I low key miss my 17 Inferno 4 banger

Not necessarily true.... Just gotta get the right alignment guy

 

I'll take it off when I'm swapping my serpentine this week and see how it goes

 

I need some solid axle shitbox so I can stop beating up my truck. I call it a wheezy little wuss but I'd never sell it.

 

ive got front and rear sway bars (yes I added one). made driving much better when ive got the camper on. even without the camper, I'd still do it with the difference it made driving.

I'm in the minority I guess.

 

i still want to take it off my ranger but im rather lazy lol

hey you leave my 98 civic alone! even thou mine hasnt left my driveway in like a year or so lmao

tbh never really noticed much an issue with my swaybar off on the tacoma i never had to recalibrate anything either on it the truck just went and i never had an issue with it tbh

 

You also don't drive a Taco....
