Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

I have 2 lo. It's dynamite

Locker anytime does sound interesting..... With the Puddle Jumper I'll have aftermarket so that won't be an issue. But the Silver truck... Hmm....

 

I'm contemplating removing my two low mod and selling it. I haven't used it since adding the crawl box.

 

The guy at discount tire asked if I plan on getting out to Moab anytime and I said, "well, not now. It's expensive just going to and from work." And laughed and knew exactly what I meant.

 

I probably wouldn't use it either if I had a crawl box.. but I don't so mine gets used quite a bit

 

I'm planning on going to Moab September of 2023 (I would like it to be a group trip, will put out more info later this year). So hopefully the fuel prices don't skyrocket.

It's about 1420 miles one way to Moab for me. Even at 12 miles to the gallon total fuel would be roughly $1200 round trip at $5/Gal. If you camp and just wheel the other costs are quiet low. So it's still within a reasonable vacation price.

 

Time to get a Prius! @Larry Dangerfield can help you find one

 

Reasonable. Flying and driving are almost the same price now. Not excited about a wedding I have next month that we have to drive to. Absolutely not taking this pig anymore. The gf's 30mpg SUV will have to do.

 

The problem is that I drive to these places to go off-roading. Even having a second vehicle that gets better mileage won't really help. I just have to cut back.

 

Yeah, it sucks. I thinking we might have to suffer into next year until campaigning for the 2024 elections ramp up. I hope I'm wrong though and it improves soon. Lots of small Ma&Pa shops that rely on summer tourism are going to suffer and I hate seeing that.

 

Just tow the 4Runner to the trails with the Prius!

 

Don't you love destination weddings?

 

Hey fellas and ladyfellas... While the dialogue is appreciated... Remember the rules. Don't need any hammers flying around here

 

Bro. The back and forth with this event. No information; middle of nowhere. Love it.

Hahaha

 

Censorship is real

 

Speaking of small business; I don't envy my brother gassing up two V8's every week to try to make money. His cost of doing business has increased a ridiculous amount in the last 2 years. It must be tough to explain to builders why his bids have pretty much doubled in price.

 

A friend of mine got married in Lake Geneva years ago. I really love spending $1000 to attend a wedding.

 

Nah, the builders are getting hit on all sides with high prices. That'll change soon with the sky high interest rates killing demand.

 

He's only saving Grace is that all of his competition have also up their bids and prices

 

WTF?
Was it Lake Geneva in Swtizerland or what?

 

Same with my brother he started an excavating business last year. He said I don't even want to know what it costs to fill the large excavator and dump trucks. Add that on top of still not being able to find quality help.
