Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

Regear to 4.88.
With stock gears and 35s, if the truck saw a crack on the freeway. It would down shift lol going up bridges. As soon as I hit the bottom of the bridge it would already downshift. Then up shift and down shift before I get to the crest of the bridge lol

 

4.56s are ok for me, I just need to get the speedo accurate

 

Yea, i should have kept the 4.56. Way better for the 35s

 

But with 4.88 on the freeway. It's like nothing but torque in all the gears

 

what do you mean how? that's just what larger tires on stock gears do.

it's really hard to surfe in lakes and rivers

We always use Texas Tubes. you go across the train tracks, down a hill, and park right next to the river. convenient, free parking if you get there early, and they have decent tubes. wouldn't wait to get there until noon though, or you may have to park farther away and pay for it. river also gets pretty crwded later on.

mine downshifts a lot too. i usually try to anticipate it and throw it in 4th ahead of time though, so i'm nit straining the torque converter as much.

 

We're staying in Austin right by 35, should only take us 45 minutes to get there so not too bad

 

Have fun with the traffic on 35. Its one of the few things I don't miss about living in Austin.

 

Yea, cause people there dint know how to drive! And freeway on/off ramp suck!

 

Mornin..

 

me too!

 

finally unloaded all this damn stone and got to enjoy torchys tacos

 

Went to rent a boat for the day an saw this guy

 

What do you think guys? Are these worth buying and then having rebuilt? http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/showthread.php?t=340264

 

I usually put plywood down and a rope under the plywood. Once it's loaded, tie the rope off and drive forward lol
bed Is now empty.

 

Bahahaha that would be awesome, I had them put the pallet I loaded into the bed but the chick had no idea how to work the fork lift so the load wasn't centered

 

It's $400 shipped. I'm guessing $200 to have rebuilt locally. New icons are $1100

Currently on 5100s with stock coils.

 

It wasnt bad... Want me to ask the price for u

 

Pallets work even better! Lol
