Meh, works well enough for what it is. I've used it quite a few times during tire rotations.

 

I am just used to a little feeling of security when using one

 

Meh. Taco.

pretty much.

Logic in general has no place in my mind.

 

Trust me I know about buying stuff I "need". However I have also learned to take a step back and weigh all aspects of such a decision. You always are complaining about money, have you taken into consideration increased insurance, excise taxes, etc... While you may save on gas the other ancillary costs may make it a wash or not worth it all together. If you're stuck on a 2wd taco look for a decent 1st gen or pre taco you can pay cash for.

 

Same, I used it for rotations before lifting cause my for jack doesn't go high enough to lift the front.

 

I know all about that

 

One day young man, LOGIC will Slap you and that "light"shall show you the way...

That is experience talking , we just condensed our move enough that the Tacoma will "work its way" to Florida...all of this heavy a$$ Yankee wood furniture is now being $OLD....Now a small trailer will be towed down by the Tacoma; $avings of over $1700 in my pocket...

Just my 2 cents on your DD idea; Weigh out EXACTLY what you will do with this DD; Trips to NH or Cape with the better 1/2, night out with her and WILL YOU REALLY BEHAVE when "right foot'n" a 2wd p/u ???
A coupe might only have 2 doors BUT it doubles you interior room over a single cab and better MPG's ( even if you ) and a 4 door might cramp style ( WTFC) but can be purchased with BUDGET in mind ;

I think that is the IDEA behind all of this ????

 

I have a 2002 5spd civic I replaced the tranny in. Roof leaks it has no balls but 40mpg rocks. And I don't give a shit about it bc it has no resale value really. so no worries if it gets a dent. Its reliable BC its a honda.

That's the way I would go who needs two trucks.

 

Alex: "What's that word mean? How do you even pronounce that? Boodjeet? Don't throw all these foreign words at me, just speak English!"

 

Same capacity as a 2WD taco just saying


When I picked up my extra doors from Erik

 

Haha awesome

 

Gee, I can't imagine why your roof leaks...

Some of us have two trucks...
I have my nice Tacoma that I use as my DD, and I've now got that '84 Dodge that I'll be using as a plow rig/beater truck. Something I can toss rocks into the bed without flinching in pain.

 

roof leaked before I figured I can't hurt it much more.

 

Obviously I haven't been working all day, you guys should take a break and check this out:

If the wheel isn't damaged and you end up going to the Charlie Horse and like my wheels now might be a great time to trade?

 

Is the charlie horse still on? Do we have a list yet?

 

Billy I'm glad you're ok! That blowout looks bad! Rim looks ok from the photo though.

Nolie, GFY. I can boodjeet when I want moar truck parts! That's what matters anyway, right?

Snope, very insightful as always. I might get a coupe. Been thinking about a manual Camry but I would rather RWD than FWD. I don't need room in the cab really because it'll be just a DD/hauler. My truck is already paid off. Might buy a used first gen 2wd. The only reason I'm leaning towards new is the fact that first gens are still going for $12,000-13,000! Why not get a new one with just as much resale value for a few thousand more? I know it sounds stupid but I want a manual, I want a DD, and I want a truck. They're safe as shit. I don't trust unibody.

We shall see what life looks like in a few months

 

The Horse is still on for a 12 meet on Sunday. If you are coming please update this post with your name.
Billy-1-yes

 

I am headed to my buddies shop tonight to swap over my spare and look through his take off pile to put back on as a spare. I did consider that option but with my luck I would get another flat and be screwed with no spare available. What is the backspacing on your wheels?
