    Right in front of the leaf spring hangers, near the shock mounts are the most obvious usually. Hit with a sharp hammer, if it goes through or sounds especially dull its donezo.

    I mean, I guess so. If I want to go fast theres a lot better options than a 2004 Tacoma.

    I don't even want to go fast. I just want to be able to go up a hill without downshifting to 3rd.

    You don't have emissions testing right? Go for a turbo.

    Mine still struggles uphill, even with nearly 7 pounds of boost.

    Yes and no, if you're just going for speed and acceleration absolutely. If you wanna have fun in a truck on some dirt quickly it's a hard platform to beat. Costs are low and maintenance is easy even boosted.

    @Speedytech7 this is a total daydream that I'm unlikely to ever pursue, but...

    Is there a boost setup that would give worthwhile performance gains on regular gas at 6000+ feet elevation?

    I understand that an engine tuned like that would have problems if driven at lower elevations, so follow-up question (assuming there's a positive answer to the first question).. would there be a reasonably unfussy way to deal with those complications? Switch to premium at lower altitudes? Re-tune the engine?

    No dirt to be had here. Atleast any that you can go fast on.


    Unless you wanna meet up with Cletus and the boys down at the mud pit on a Friday night while the fat chicks watch you go muddin'. Cant forget the rebel flags if you go.

    It looks like an ATV was failed to render on a Nintendo 64.

    They should combine both of the Carolinas to make a Super Carolina.
