    I’d be surprised to see it on network tv at all. Hmmm.
    Mel Brooks said it could never be made today.

    Last time I saw it on regular T.V., during the fart scene the fart sounds were edited out.

    Imagine this group sitting around a fire eating beans and drinking Old Fashions.

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    On many channels, it's so cut up, many scenes aren't even funny anymore.

    About a year ago, Mel Brooks said he could make Blazing Saddles today...as long as they wrote all of the jokes out. He's another one that is speaking out about what has happened to comedy.

    Comedy? I have a vague recollection of that.... It's strictly verboten now!

    I’ll put this tall skinny picture in here until he gets back with impressions. Note the tall skinny trees in the picture. Oh, and the tires

    YEP! Been there for the IMSA weekend for many years. I'll be there Thursday afternoon through Sunday, camping at site 416 right outside turn 3 near the Corvette Coral. Stop by and say hi. Can't miss the blue truck!

    Anybody else stopping out? August 3-6.

    So. Many. Stickers.
    You did everything. I don't want to do. Throttle body spacer which doesn't really do much for modern fuel injection with variable valve timing, and a pedal commander which is more or less a throttle dump. But hey... If it gets results... Can't really argue against that. And it was probably cheaper than my stuff so....

    The 90s called.... But damn that's most excellent

    I wish !

    I might be stopping in Elkhart Lake Friday or Saturday for the Concours d' Elegance. My Mom's BF is putting his GTX in the show, and might be trying to sell it. It's a pretty special vehicle.

    Yes, It would be well advised not to do a lot of the things I do.
    I'm well aware of what they are but when I was able to get both for under $250, curiosity got the best of me.

    That's what I'm here for, the mods and the gear.
    I think I asked about any auto hobby shops (DIY shop) in here and if there were any in Wisconsin. One just opened up (or I just found out about it) in Green Bay! Perfect for those of us without a garage, or tools, or garage full of tools. A bay and access to tools (selection unknown at this time) for $30/hr.

    Those throttle manipulation devices don't add any power, but everyone who has them seems to love them.

    So Falken only has the 255/80-R17 in an E load which like James has said many times is way over kill for the Tacoma. On the street they are a bit harsh especially on expansion joints. Not horribly so and I am getting used to it.

    off road aired down to 17psi they were awesome. Rode comfortably and gripped the rocked well. That’s probably them being new and having nice sharp edges tread blocks still.
    so far I haven’t gone down any washboard roads as yet.
