    Jim you seem knowledgeable here....help me out. Mine doesn't say VVT-i...but it does say TRD on it, has a shiny red pulley on it, and runs like a raped ape. WTF is wrong. :D

    I see your problem...your supercharged sticker is clearly in the wrong place. It's too close to your supercharger and not blasted in everyone's face for +10 cool points :p

    On the phone, that supercharged sticker sure looks like a gator. How the hell did your engine get so dirty while that bright red pulley is shiny and spotless?

    It's called strategic photography.

    You see...I wash my truck 1...maybe 2 times a year. The engine bay only gets cleaned when I replace the engine...which so far has been once. The pulley however...that's where the "strategic" comes into play....in other words take a picture when you put a brand new pulley on your dirty truck. :anonymous:

    Siu i bought you some jalapeno jelly but seeing as im a fat mexican i ate decided to try it and i liked it too much.
    Then i decided id give you the mangos i bought even though im sure theyre not locally grown but turns out theyre bad, according to my friends mom, since i dont like mangos so i dont know.

    Ive decided im just going to get you candy.

    One of my friends makes Jalapeno & Garlic jelly (among others). That stuff is great with cream cheese & crackers.

    Awesome day. Did some wheeling up in Tahoe with CaliAsh for Camp Wamp. Our group got lost twice but it made for more wheeling. Driving home I saw a semi on fire. Oh and I got flagged down cause someone thought my trasharoo was a bag flying out of my bed. Then as soon I get on the road Travis (copperT) passes by me.

    Correction! The group that was leading left us twice! I didn't mind though, got some extra trail time in :) I did feel sorry for that older guy though.

    I did a 911 call on that tractor/trailer. That would have been a really bad spot (about 1.5 miles East of the hwy174 exit on I80) for the trailer to ignite from the brake/tire fire. They had already been notified (CALFIRE was already on the way).

    Yea true, can't blame us for getting lost when we were following the golden rule of making sure see the person behind you. I was gonna call but I saw the guy on the phone so I figured that's what he was doing. That fire was pretty bad.

    One more pic with CaliAsh's truck in front.

    Not everyone had passengers. Most of the trucks were used for packing gear. I rode solo and so did CaliAsh. It was still a fun time though.

    I'm curious, was your Go Pro pointing back at you when it fell down on the wipers? The video, or photo, of your facial expression would be entertaining :)

    I saw the driver on the phone also. I wasn't taking the chance since he could of been on the phone with his company saying "My truck is on fire, what do I do?" Better safe than sorry.

    Yup, just hauled gear in my truck. It was nice feeling just seeing the overall excitement and enthusiasm in the kids though.
