Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

After talking to Pat @pearing and watching his truck as we went down the road, I pulled mine. Before the leaf packs, I did have a bit of body roll, but now, I hardly notice. What I did notice is how well the truck rides on the trails now.

edit: Honestly, going down the road it rides better too.

 

Good morning! Err... Good afternoon! The day is getting away from me already.

Tigerton, August 8-11, as @Camerasandcoffee mentioned. You in?

 

I will be in Arkansas, going on a family vacation for the 2 year angelversary

One day

 

I've been under a lot of peer(Pat) pressure to remove mine.

 

Probably not as much pressure...

 

It's great that you guys are celebrating the memories and the time you had with him. I hope it's a good trip!

 

Regear it and you'll be back in sports truck territory in no time

Speed is an exponential force multiplier. It is almost always less harsh on suspension to crawl than it is to slam through things (never mind the safety and control factor). I've kicked people off of guided runs for going full throttle through things when they were instructed specifically not to.

That being said

Yes, 35s put so much stress on components compared to 33s.

Do it. You'll notice better on road manners. Really only negatively affects track performance, so uh ... Don't take your built taco to a track.

We just got back from Arkansas

 

But it’s also why you’re crashing into your bumps hard.

 

Yep. I think it was Timm with 2 m's that swayed me to remove mine.

It's still on a shelf in the garage.

 

Here comes my Icon Progressive bump plug.
Slows your roll but doesn't limit travel.

 

This clip from AVF made me think of Tigger. Watch at the bottom how the suspension bounces along..

Contributing to examples of Pat's driving.
A couple more while I'm at it. Enjoy.
If you've already seen them, watch them again.

One could say it’s as refreshing as a summer’s eve.

I’m going to have to find one of those puddles. I’m on my way home coming back with some Colorado dust. I think they make their dust out of portland cement lol.

 

I heard El Niño is Spanish for….The Niño.

 

Texas dust is pretty clingy also.

 

Story I heard back in the 70's when imports started growing was,

Nissan didn't think the U.S. would take kindly to nissan so they sprung off a division calling it Datsun to better appease the U.S. audience.

by the mid 80's, having good sales they started switching the name.

The only place I ever seen the "Nissan by Datsun" was on the tailgate's.

 

Tennessee concrete agrees.
