1st vs 2nd vs 3rd Gen Drag Race

Would a simple no have sufficed? And I actually researched the weights of both the second gen and 3rd gen before my first post. So you can see why I got pissed off. Sorry

 

Yes i can. Sorry too.

Thumbs up for bringing it back to civility!

 

I used to take my 96 to the community dump quite often and the ticket read 3900+ lbs on the exit weigh. It was an extended cab with only me, trailer hitch, bed liner and add a leaf as extra weight.

 

Thats odd, so based on that, Are you saying your truck was a little tubby or you were a little tubby? Because I hope to god you are not driving around in a 1st gen at 360lbs. Thats just not fair.

 

Drivers side taco lean?

 

I wonder how much work it would be to put a pneumatic strut in the tailgate so we can be all cool like the 3rd gens? Has anyone done this?

 

...forgot about the trailer... LOL.
Nope 170, no Taco lean just Taco mean

 

I haven't but I'm not going to lie. I've been debating on putting some gas struts under the hood though.

 

Wait! If you do it will not be like a Ford Mustang with a hood prop and no struts.

 

Huh?

 

Sorry. Old habit from going back and forth with the Ford guys when I drove a Corvette. They talked about my plastic car and I reminded them that Fords rust and that I did not have to prop my hood up with a rod.

Guess now I do since I drive a Tacoma, come to think of it there are rumors of rust on Tacomas.

 

Way ahead of you...
I was so jealous that I could not afford third gen Tacoma that I pretended my 2gen hood is vibrating, and I stuffed that thing full of tampons for better shake absorption.

/sarcasm

Now I have bunch of left over do-hicks used to push tampons in so that could be used as dampers on tailgate ?
