The Golden Triangle (Beaumont, Port Arthur, Nederland)

2 more weeks
I am going to try and have my lights mounted up by then.

 

Sweet hopefully we can make it back home before night time

 

Dennis why didn't u tell me all the 6 inch guys were here

 

Surprise?

 

I can't get into houston bs!!!

 

I am still running stock gears. I did quite a bit of research on this topic before lifting my truck. There are plenty of Taco owners that are still running stock gears without any problems. On the other hand, the ones that have swapped seems to like their new setup also. I can attest to my current situation as I am still running stock. I still have plenty of power and cruising speed. The only issues that I have are that my tranny will hunt for a gear at 65 miles an hour and the obvious, my speedo is off. I am considering flashing my ECM to change the shift points and address the tranny issue. At this point I will not be be swapping out my gears. But from a mechanical stand point it is the proper thing to do.

 

When I had stock gears on 35s. My trans had a hard time finding the right gear going up inclines. Just at the foot of the incline, it would already down shift. Then up shift halfway up. Then back down to get over the top. Lol

 

That is what mine is doing that's y I was going to change gears out. Cause I would rather change the gears than havin to put a new tranny

 

I'm not sure what dealerships are doing about this problem. They might re flash the computer. But if they don't, I would like to see the owners face when they drive around town like that

 

No lie mine is so bad running bout 65 70 I have to make it shift

 

I got 99 problems but a DB lift ain't one

 

Lol morning sun shine

 

Moanin

 

Not a good surprise!

I got the 6 speed so I don't have the problem.. Then again I only got the 33s because I heard about the problem with the tranny and 35s... I could still tell a power difference when I got my 33s while I shift tho

 

I will prob go ahead and re gear it cause I'm planning on going 37 my next tire change and I would hate to know how bad it would b if I didn't

 

Just my .02 cents here, we could meet at this gas station 5223-5269 S Gulfway Dr, Sabine Pass, TX 77655. We could get any last minute essential and take off from there. Not sure what time everyone is feeling but we we went we based it off of when high and low tide would be in.

 

Well we need t figure out what time everyone is gonna leave from their house and what they gonna bring. Chris I can follow you from your house or you can come to mine and leave. Michael could meet us in Lumberton also since he lives in silsbee

 

Change gears every bump

 

That sounds doable. I'm bringing all my recovery gear and enough food and water for 48 hours in case schit gets cereal. I'm an eagle scout so "Be Prepared" was nailed into my head on a daily basis.

 

I don't have any recovery gear just a pull strap from harbor freight I do have and extra 17" wheel and tire from an FJ I can bring aside from my spare and can also bring food and extra gas can. Anyone have a portable grill? I can bring stuff to make hot dogs and such.
