You only need 4 doors till its 18

 

I don’t need 4 doors if it’s only two of us

 

Kei truck it is

 

Toyyoyo is fine

 

That’d be pretty fun though

 

Or carry all the gimps

 

I wish I could come get one.... I know you'll tell me I can, and the only thing stopping me is me.... but no matter how much I want it, I just can't justify bringing it up north to only then have to ship it to the east coast

 

Just to be a weirdo but my 98 base model 5sp 3rz 4R only had 4.10s

 

I am appalled

It's so weird I don't hate it. Bugs have good lines to begin with imo.
I'd cruise in one around town. Shit, my car won't be here at least until September, maybe I should look for one to tide me over haha

 

Interesting and not all that surprising to me... manual 3RZ Tacomas also got lower gearing (usually 4.10 in earlier years or 4.30 in later years--seems like they changed around 1999 or 2000) while auto 3RZs got 4.56.

The final drive ratio had to compensate for the automatic transmission's higher first gear ratio... https://www.marlincrawler.com/tech/transmission/transmission-gear-ratio-chart

 

That'd be fun. There's a few I see around here in summer, always looks like a good time.

 

Go for it

The 2nd box showed up yesterday -



The 1st one showed up last week -



If I'm not lazy and/or busy I'll work on it this Saturday.

 

I had a blast with a 1973 Super Beetle back when gas was high.

Curved windshield for better aerodynamics, dash with raised instrument binnacle like an early Benz, rack and pinion steering, Porsche styled steering wheel, headers, power pulley.

Top speed was something like 95 to 97 MPH -- depending on tailwind. LOL
