New England B.S. Thread

Ahhh I see, blame the Honda driver hahaha..and agreed, I don't miss the attention my old Camaro got with the exhausts I had on that car..or didn't have..

 

I wanted to get an 11th gen Civic Si or 10th gen accord 2.0T/6spd prior to my Tacoma. I couldn't stomach learning to drive manual again and living with it daily. I can drive a gas/diesel full size truck but trying to drive a Jetta, Hyundai Accent, and 6spd 3rd gen tacoma over the years was a disaster.

 

I’m 6 out of 7 for manuals with my 2G being my only automatic. My 3G is very okay for a manual, but not my favorite. The C5 you could practically take your foot off of the clutch and it wouldn’t stall whereas the STI is a bit more delicate.

This one allegedly has hill hold, so that will be fun to play with. It also has the shortest throw of anything I’ve ever driven.

 

Im happy.

The little lamppost guys are solar dusk/dawn and the burglar light comes on when you get about 10 feet from the gate on the approach and when you open the porch door from the inside. I need to adjust the light level shutoff on it, but I'll drag the ladder out again some time later.

Next, a little patio for the back and a trashcan house before I get to the other side of the front frnce.

 

Put a hitch on the lawnmower, this worked perfect. Now how to get the coop on the posts.

 

Simple, build some ramps to drive the tractor up and then across the posts and back down. Heck you already got the coop on the trailer, might as well not work too hard.

I guess option 2, would be to strap the chickens to the roof of the coop and get them to hoist it up.

 

Couple farm jacks? I’m happy to come help if you want to muscle it up.

 

I may take you up on that. Its not really that heavy, but most of my local friends are at a music festival all week or they are working too much.

I would ask my neighbor but I dont want him to hurt himself

I dont got one of them. Maybe I can use my tauler jack. I should probably get a farm jack for farm stuff....

 

Totally. If it isn't tall enough just build some cribbing with scrap and lift it in stages. A tall enough scissor jack would also work.

 

Currently shopping tires, cheapest seem to be the Goodyear Wrangler Ultra Terrains, which I have had a set and feel they are good.
Lightest seems to be BF KO3s.

Looking for decent highway, great off road tire.

Anyone want to start a tire dispute? Seriously, just looking for thoughts. I was going to go bigger, then all that @GarlicFarts math the other day had me thinking differently now.

 

My only dispute is - if you like them, why change? What do you NOT like about your current tire? If I need to replace mine, I am 100% going for the same ones. I know, not as fun to not get a new set to try out, but whatever, these work.

Actually - that's a lie - I might step down to C loads.

 

What size are you looking for, what are the on/off-road priorities, etc?

 

That fart math doesnt matter unless you are doing stop and go really. I think 33's or 35's are perfect for a do it all rig.

I am a big fan of the wildpeaks, on my second set. First set got eaten by shitty alignment but still lasted 50k. Great offroad and in the snow but good enough on the highway.

Only reason I wont be getting them again is cause they dont have the size I want.

 

The one I currently have, only can get thru Discount tire, and they are a little on the heavy side I believe. And I was thinking about going up a size.

 

Currently on 265/70/17s

this set is more off road worth, but I’m driving out to Utah this summer on them.

 

Get the implants, go up a size.

If you care about MPG, you wouldn't be driving a brick on wheels with an NA V6 engine.

That's like being concerned about the wheelchair ramp being slightly higher in slope than you'd like after you chop off both legs with a chainsaw for fun.

 

It’s more about the demand being put on the vehicle with larger tires. I got excited to see an 18mpgs average the other day, that’s with no tent and on factory slicks

 

I have been consider the wild peaks, keep seeing them on other vehicles and they look good. I think they weigh a little more than the ultra terrains, and are more $$.
