PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

Beautiful 3rd Gen. Still great looking trucks. Magnum or Cummins? What year is the black one? My first Ram was a red, left over 2003 Hemi powered 2500 that I bought new in 2005. Nice truck, but owned it at the wrong time. Gas went to a buck 20 something shortly after I bought it. It was costing me 80 dollars every 4 or 5 days to top it off.

 

I've had 30 odd cars, but it has to be my 1999 1500 chev. I was so excited to find a 5.3 for sale under 3000$ at the time.

4x4 was fucked, door panels fell off, doors were sagging, terrible fuel economy, leaks for days.

It wasn't worth it to fix, I ended up selling it to a pot head and broke even.

 

I had a 2017 Tacoma TRD OR built to the nines. Loved it. Sold it for some stupid reason. Got a 2017 Subaru Forester, to be more....... economical. Worst choice I’ve ever made. Car has been nothing but issues and a bag of bolts. So today.... I placed an allocation order for a 2021 Tacoma. Finally gonna be back in the saddle. I’ll always own a Toyota. No doubt.

 

I had a 14 forester XT, it was super uncomfortable, the trans sucked and it had the long crank issue.

I traded it in on the 16 Tacoma and was super happy.

 

Nice!

 

Worst vehicle I ever owned was an 87 Plymouth Caravan. It wallowed anytime it even looked at a turn, braked terrible, acceleration was non-existant. Swore off Plymouth-Dodge forever, but made an exception for my 2002 Cummins that had a Dodge Ram 2500 wrapped around it. Super Comfortable and great for towing. After driving it for 17 years, I gave it to my grandson for his graduation present when I bought my Tacoma. Still going strong - Best truck I ever owned.

 

1956 Chevy station wagon that I had in high school around 1963. Totally undependable. Always breaking down. Sold it and a month later the buyer told me the tranny died. Total junk.

 

Congrats!

 

Killed a lanternfly with the Taco about a week ago...

 

Intellectual property is big money.

People pay for the rights to take and use photos. Easy as that.

Private businesses can also set any rules they want, don't like it? Don't support that business.

We can't even take real cameras to NHL games where I am.

 

Nice!

 

Got hit in a parking lot today; Chevy Equinox was parked incredibly close to my truck (I was there first; you can just barely see my truck on the right)...




The driver of the Equinox made a hard left and scuffed my front bumper; Damage isn’t bad but I still want the bumper cover replaced...




The woman who owned the Equinox was present, but not the one driving at the time of the accident...




They tried to settle for $100 in cash, but I wouldn’t go for it! They’re like “The damage isn’t that bad; You can buff it out!”

 

The bumper also looks a wee bit off-kilter on the left side when compared to the right side, so it’s possible something I can’t see got tweaked...

I’m so fed up with my truck getting hit!

 

Already filed a claim with her insurance!

 

Did the baby arrive yet?

 

A color matched one would look nice...

 

Do you do that? I was actually considering going for a silver one, but the insurance company might not cover that...

 

Though I think that would be too much silver; I like how the black bumpers, black door handles, black emblems, etc contrast...
