also you have a d cab. mines an extracab, which is more sporty

 

My next truck will be a extended cab. The kids are out of the house and I need a bigger bed to haul my shit. My BMW barely fits in the bed.

 

speaking of toyotas and driving, i need to go visit my grandpa in the hospital

 

later all

Hula girl to keep me company, maybe $15

Is no one else interested in these lawnmower mods?

 

$500 will get you an AAL and a set of 5100's. Lawnmower mods I may be interested in. Going fast in a Tacoma though.... No thanks. I'll drive my GTI or ride my CBR500R if I want to go fast. Neither is blistering by any means but far better suited to speed than a Tacoma.

 

Some of my mods:
Mossy Oak Seat Covers - ~$250
WAAG Brush Guard - $100
Sunglasses clip for both visors - $2
Hula girl - ~$10
Salt Life Sticker - ~$10
Boat Prop Tow Hitch Cover - $20
Blackweb Bluetooth FM Transmitter - $20 (tried a cassette bluetooth adapter first, wasn't as good imo)

 

my lawn machine has a welded diff, got tired of hill slippage. also has weight reduction and extra cooling

 

when im done my taco will have rally suspension and a twincharged 350. never second guess the mad scientist

 

I'm not gonna hate on someone else's truck but I can't tell if you're being sarcastic lmao. You took out the ash tray to save weight? How much crap are you vacuuming that it's actually gonna make a difference lol. I can understand doing it to keep your interior clean but dude your 14 year old pickup truck isn't a formula car

 

Had two friends killed on a moto by the other driver, I hung my helmet up years ago after that, It's a time bomb, but dam they are fun!!!!!

Redline hood struts for 100.00 are great, hood opens up by its self after u trip
the latch!!

 

theres other super secret stuff and assorted tips and tricks i learned from dragracing at work here. plus its not even close to finished. a twincharged, injected 350 hemi crate motor is going in at some point and i have plans for a rally suspension

 

plus even little things add up to lots of weight. if you hate going fast i cant help you

 

Do you have 4wd and/or locker?

You can do the 2 wheel drive low range mod and the gray wire mod.

 

if you could explain what those are and how to do them that would be much apreciated

 

The 2 lo mod is easiest. If you have an automatic transmission you can find a blue plug on the driver side on top the transmission. Unplug that and either shrink wrap them or wrap them in tape to keep dirt out. That's the 2 lo mod. You'll be able to have your truck in low range in either 2wd or 4wd. This is useful when you want torque but not 4wd. Like when making a tight turn on a steep hill on a tactile surface.

The gray wire mod is here:
