Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

A ton of work that went into this...but mannn that sticker price made me do a double take.

I know some well-off people, but none that would be willing to thrash a purpose-built half a million dollar machine.

 

Pure truck porn but the price is bananas. I was eyeing that 15 button switch panel, then I went and looked up how much a MoTeC setup costs and promptly thought better of it.

 

Harry's got a MoTeC exhaust, don't forget

 

Where should I start? lol

 

I think the answer is that some people can't accept the fact that people like different things

 

Well, there's "different" and then there's dumb.

Low profile mud tires will suck both on and off road.

I'm ok with whatever cosmetic modifications people want to do. But, to make something perform worse in every way just doesn't make sense to me.

 

I try to appreciate others passion in their hobbies, art, music, cars etc.
Unless your hobby is torturing cats or burning crosses, then I just think you're fucked up

 

LOL, agreed!

 

Maybe it makes his gram perform better

 

Did the repair as best I could today. Sometimes you gotta pay to play... Took it all apart and used a heat gun-pop! Out it came. Now do I spend the money on a new side cover or wait and have the kids design something for an independent study project this spring???



This is what I started with:

 

In all the offroad excitement I nearly forgot to show off my $400 box of goodies-rebuild parts for my Total Chaos UCA's.

 

A new aftermarket steel bumper would look nice. But, if you like the stock look I know where you could get a bumper thats in real good shape. Its not silver, it's black. Fog lights included.

 

Let the kids creative juices flow and see what they come up with for a bumper.

 

I knew I should've used a smilie...it's all in jest. Anyone can do as they wish...as long as they're good with it. I don't have to agree or like though. To each his own.

 

Yea, thanks for that information. I sure like the one it got replaced with! No sense putting on another one at this point. It looks okay and tells a story. Need to think about what direction to go now.

 

I agree with the rest, class project.

 

With pictures!

 

I won’t be able to make it but Franksville Beer Garden is trying to empty all the beer! Anyone in SE Wisconsin should hit this place up.
