    I tired using it at alto. But I found out that the nut that makes the pedal actually apply the ebrake was loose. Like about to fall off :eek:

    Driving knowledge and experience is more important than equipment. I go offroad with my 2wd. You just have to be smart about it.

    Where do you go off roading at? You should make it out to one of our trips.

    Psh, that makes no sense. I floor it everywhere and wait til I break stuff, then fix it > repeat. That means I get the most out of my taco when I go through 8 trannys ;)

    So basically the beach and surrounding illegal trails lol. It's ok. Almost all the other PreRunners who claim they can wheel never seem to be able to make it out to the trails with us for one reason or another. :rolleyes:

    Since this is a BS thread...

    Looking to get out of the USAF (no plans on reenlisting for a third term, want to raise my kids). Intel career but I am open to anything especially if it has anything to do with cars (auto parts, tires, management, etc).

    Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Just saying the PreRunners who claim they can do what 4x4s do never find the time to join us out on some trails is all. Playing at the beach and a golf course is different than climbing rocks and sticky east texas clay.

    With the exception of Alex - he's cool and at least came out to see what his truck could do.

    First of all, thank you for your service!!!!!

    I know you said open to anything, but Is there anything else specifically you are interested in other than cars?

    Honestly my list of things I would rather not do is easier.
    - retail (but there are plenty of exceptions if they come up like Ikea, Discount Tires, etc.)
    - government or social work (coaching pee wee football and safety would be cool though)
    - assembly line (did this before when Compaq was in town. paid the bills, but extremely boring).
    - video games (they are fun, but I suck. I also get motion sickness from first person shooter games like Halo, COD, etc. :()

    If I'm around people who like what they do then I'll like it just the same. I guess that is why I'm ok with almost anything. Utilizing my unique skills from the USAF would be awesome, but not necessary (related to electrical engineering applications, and mathematics).

    If UPS would let me deliver packages in my Tacoma I would be all over it!:jellydance:

    Stickers. Lots of stickers.
    Just from my stand point at Discount Tire, there are really more opportunities there than people think. You can start out as a tech, and within a few years be up in a management position.

    And hell, the pay ain't half paid :eek: definitely better than minimum wage.
