MassHoles show yourself

No I mean good advertising the TW meet! Hope lots of people come. I wanna get a legit Mass pic like Cali does it.

 

so my wife and i are on our way to MA. we have already driven 1100 miles and are staying outside of indianapolis. 2 more days of driving to go...

we are also towing a 5x8 uhaul trailer so the gas mileage really sucks. though kansas, we got 8.5 mpg @ 70mph. after i switched to 91+ octane, the gas mileage went up by 2-3 mpg. higher octane doesnt seem to matter on regular city driving, but towing on the highway, it really makes a difference. 2 more days to go....

 

GL. See you when you get here. Sorry you missed the meet today but Im sure we will do more

 

I'll be up in Boston 3/2 - 3/4 for my buddies bachelor party...staying downtown at the Holiday Inn Beacon Hill.
Is there any "must do" things?

 

Ouch, low mpgs. Lowering your speed will help some also.

 

Check the Bruins schedule for a poss game. Plenty of pubs downtown to try in or near Quincy Market. Then there is always the history aspect of Boston. Which is well worth your time imho. Just checked there is a game Sat the 3rd at 1 then hit some pubs. Sun go to one of the steak houses intown then hit some more pubs. I see a pattern forming

 

Eagledynasty, did I see you on I-90 east-bound earlier? Saw a white taco with black headlights and black bullbar.

 

If it was today then no my truck is caked in mud and dont want to move it haha. Waiting till tomorrow to get a nice car wash it'll be alot warmer.
Although yesterday I was on I-90. Did they have black rims? Just put those on friday.

I'd say Quincy market would be cool for lunch or somethin but hit the bars hard . X2 on the bruins idea!

YIKESSSS 8.5 MPG with a 19 gallon tank is ALOTTTT of pit stops.... Hope I see you at a meet soon wanna check the truck out! Here is an early welcome to Mass as well!

 

Wasn't you then. This was a few hours ago.

 

What you waiting for?...I got home and pulled out the pressure washer before it got too cold and dark. Just need to go through the self wash now to get the soap and wax coat.

 

Damn. Where were you the last meet man . I was lookin out for ya. Went back to Gleeb after too sorry you missed it

I dont have a pressure washer on campus with me haha. Would of been nice though now its all probably frozen to the truck. I'm going to the self wash tomorrow to clean her up nice

 

Thanks guys, I actually checked out Bruins and Celtics tix...whoa pricey!

 

Regular season Celts tickets have been cheaper then ever. $15 in the nose bleed sections and some beers and the game seems so much closer haha

 

I've had some family stuff to do. Can't always get out as much as I like to.

 

ya, through kansas, we gassed about every 100 miles. we didnt want to get stuck out there. once we got out of kansas, we were getting 150-200 miles a tank. and the tank holds 21 gallons... so thats an extra 17 miles

ya, my wife and i are looking forward to meeting a new group of tacoma guys

 

Are you an auto or manual? If your an auto are you towing in 4th? If auto tow in D and only go down to 4th if you start hitting hills and the tranny starts hunting a lot. I towed a two place snowmobile trailer and another one in the bed of my truck for 5 hours each way and was getting over 10 mpg.

 

Hey guys. I'm getting my lift soon.(In about a month or so or 2) and wanting to see if any of you guys wanted to have a mod day and help a kid out installing a lift. I know nothing about installing a lift and thought i could save some money and have you guys help. Johnnym said he had tools and could help and if i could get a few more guys then when could have it done in a day. Im going with the and eibach spring. Gonna have a 2.5 lift and then get aftermarket ucas done the road when i have the money. If you guys wanna help that would be great. Thanks.

 

You should probably add a "add a leaf" in the rear. 1.5" will level you out and a 2" will make the back sit a little higher kind of like stock. I am not much help but I'll give with some moral support, beverages, and any tasks you guys hand out to me . I'd love to help ya guys out

 

Once you are FINNALLY here . Id love to meet ya and check out the rig at a meet! From what your towing, tires, and lift, your MPG seems about right hehe

 

Take the springs and struts to a shop and have them put together. It is worth the 50 or so bucks it might cost. Spring compressors are not fun to deal with.
