SoCal Truck Spotting - Stalking for Some =P

At Home Depot in HB. The small tires made me chuckle

 

Need to know the backstory on this. I don't really care for the guy. They have bad customer service as well.

Nitpicking here but those look more like 37s. 40s tend to make most vehicles look like a RC truck.

 

No. And you pleebs that continue perpetuating this blasphemy are what’s wrong with the world. The person who vandalized the rock was a videographer hired by Mateo to do some marketing content. I know those are some big words but allow me to break it down to grade school terms. The person that did the vandalizing was not Mateo. Woah. What!? “But my sisters cousin talked to a dog groomer who knows a pharmacist online who’s part of a forum that said it was him.” Well get your head out of your ass and read the facts. Mateo. Did. Not. Do. It. When it was brought to light what happened he contacted the local land management for that park and arranged a cleanup event, and if memory serves correctly he even took the fine on the chin. His reputation took a hit on TW because the collective IQ seems to be in the teens but outside of this special ed day camp his business has thrived because the majority of adults have enough brain cells to differentiate Mateo from the responsible party.

Edit: after reading the articles it jogged my memory. CBI hired the crew. And yet they remain untouchable to the window licking crowd here?

 

Calm down, Mateo. Whether you did it or not, you are dumb enough to post it on your Instagram. BTW, you know it's really easy to say, "Oh, it was some unknown crew member I hired or he hired." Do I believe that? FK no.

 

I’m definitely not Mateo, my name is even on my profile. But I suppose reading comprehension is lost with someone on this side of the issue.
Are you naive enough to believe that business owners are the ones making the posts to their social media? Within hours he made an acknowledgment/apology post for it and took corrective action. But hey, it’s ok being on the bandwagon of hate & misinformation. I guess we can’t all fit on that high horse you sit atop.

 

Let’s hug

 

39’s. There’s a video he did with 74weld portals.

 

DECAF

 

Like it or not, this is 100% true.

What the heck…

The guy you quoted has his name in his profile, his picture is a Lexus GX, and Mateo’s Tacoma is clearly posted above which is obviously not a Lexus GX

It’s not hard…

 

If you don't get it, that's fine.

 

Back on topic

Here’s one in front of planet fitness in HB. The color matched front bumper is a sweet touch


Another 1st Gen over and a sweet 4runner in Sunset Beach




Let’s wrap it up with this awesome plate on the back of a Sequoia

Thanks for heads up. 39s look good in proportion to the whole vehicle.

 

I can’t imagine trying to push 39s with a v6 in these trucks. Even supercharged it probably struggles.

 

Runs fine re-geared and tuned. Not trying to race anyone soon. In his case, probably too over-geared with portals and 5.29 gears.

 

Man I haven't seem this amount of drama since the days @dtaco06 @itaro got banned

 

It's slow turning 90+lbs of tire but once it gets going, no problem. 5.29 is probably right with his diameter and unsprung weight.

 

He is running 5.29's but with the Portal reduction added his gear set is 6.45. I bet it turns those wheels pretty well. Never did hear how his highway 70-80 mph driving affected his RPM's.
