Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Only one year ago... Ch-ch-cha-changes! Looks brawnier with the bed, but it is so much better with the flatbed.

 

Same reaction when flipping over the TW calendar this month. I was like "who's truck is that?"

 

Fantastic! Small steps big results.

 

did you finally launch it so hard over the railroad tracks that your suspension collapsed and you slid on the belly?

 

That was my exact first thought too LOL, something like the instructional video shown below:

Remember a couple of weeks back I talked about not using ethanol gas in small engines? Well, this time it was the pressure washer's turn to shit the bed. Some dumbass put some ethanol gas in it sometime back, probably the same stuff that ended up making premix. The gas tank has foam in it to keep the sloshing down (B&S 5hp horizontal shaft) that had finally given up.

Last Friday, while I was washing the truck, I noticed it was running lean and didn't have much power - it kept stalling when I let go of the trigger. It got worse and worse until it flat wouldn't run anymore.

I ordered a carburetor, since it was only $18 for a carb, air filter, pre-filter, gaskets and a new (shitty) spark plug (that I don't think I'm going to use). When I pulled the old carb, the filter screen had a ton of crap stuck to it. Gas tank was just loaded when I drained it. I pulled the foam, may replace it, may not. Used a blow gun to blow all of the crap out after the tank dried.

Just got done running it for about 15 minutes. Power seems to be there and the plug is now a nice tan color.

 

Long travel in the spring?!

 

I think he's holding off until the clear title mod is done.

 

What are you looking at? I'll need to replace mine soon. I'm really happy with the 6112's, but want something with more damping than the 5100's in back.

On the budget side, I'm considering a 6112/5160 setup, but I just started looking at the OME MT64, and those look interesting to me.

 

Carlos says Dobinsons are great on a 4runner. Those are for the budget minded amonst us.

 

Do we really think he’s gonna have this truck that long?

 

He'll have to ban himself to avoid the shit he'll face!

 

My train of thought was he's buying a new Taco in the spring.
