What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

I know you keep saying that and I don't listen to you

For real though, I remember driving 100 miles or more on I-25 and using the tried and true mile marker vs ODO calibration.

I was off by a mile and a half after 100 miles. (or something like that). Not enough to make me doubt my fuel economy too much.

 

I wouldn't trust a phone GPS for speed..

 

Let me guess... this is a set up so you can mock how stupid my phone is?


Yes. I have an iPhone.

 

Me either.

I even have an older Garmin and don't really trust that.

 

Ya civilian GPSs aren't really that accurate anyways. 3-10 yards off for position..that's plenty room of error to speed to be the same.

All you MPG trackers just need to be happy your getting decent ones..and fill it up and forget about it. Haha

 

Introduced my truck to the newest family member:

 

Damn, I wasn't expecting it to be this glossy.

 

When I earn enough money to fill it and forget it, I will lessen my attention to its detail.

 

What paint are you using?

And it's okay to just spray over your radiator and all that other shit with no issues?

 

Probably the same basis for you not trusting mile markers

 

Well..I sure as shit don't..

Maybe I'm just scared to know..

 

I'm interested in the accuracy and precision of your methodology, your findings, supporting data tables and conclusions.

PDF me.

 

When is this going to become a reality, rather than a fantasy?

 

At this point I have a better chance of waking up between Marisa Tomei and Kate Upton than getting a new suspension

 

lol

All I'm saying is there are so many factors that can cause uncertainties.

Not all 31" tires, 32" tires, etc are the same diameter. Tire pressure inflation also affects diameter. GPS's aren't 100% accurate... and so on.

I think taking everything into consideration the difference my tires make over the course of 300-340 miles per tank is negligible.

In my completely unsubstantiated opinion.

 

Just buy stock in Krylon. Within a year you should make enough off the dividends to pay for your suspension.

I get it, the truck is pretty low on my priority list too.

 

All painted... Ready for my freshly powder coated by (JLee) TG bumper to get mounted up.

 

Give me that grille,hood, lights, and filer pieces

 

Wow that looks good, you just need to restore that driver side headlight.
