99 Tacoma Student "Build"

Did I really say that haha?

 

Matt, I was creepin on your thread. Your an Eagle Scout?

 

Yeah....hahaha didn't expect that one

 

Yes haha I only know that caused of his thread too haha

 

I just ask cause so am I. Earned it around the same time he did as well

 

I've helped build quite a few eagle scout and girl scout finals projects I just never did it.

We had to build a complete playground for some kids in Africa from all donated money and labor (construction class) for some girl scout project

 

Yeah, I'm an eagle scout, nice that you are too! My project was pretty easy, not gonna lie, but there are no actually difficult or challenging projects for scouts around here anymore. Built 13 flower boxes from cedar, stained and put on molding

 

I took a year to plan mine an about 3 hrs to execute it haha. Our troop came up with some pretty cool projects. We had the second largest troop in the council, and prided ourselves with the most Eagle Scouts in the council, if not the state. And I say had, my old troop blows now. My project was pretty cool. I did it at the park at the lake I frequently fish. I installed some parking bumpers, put in warning signs, put in 2 fishin line recycle bins, and put 2 benches on the dock.

 

That's a good project, my troop is alright, but not as good as it used to be. I feel like I'm the last of the somewhat actual scouts that actually do scouting for scouting and know what it means and I'm not some retarded kid like half of them

 

Same way I felt when I left. They're all little kids in the troop now

 

Ok so discussion. Toyota vs jeep. Who gets it done better? Offroad, on road, reliable, etc. I'm goin with yota for reliable and a DD, but jeep for an OR rig. I mean, wranglers are designed to pretty much go underwater haha

 

I'm hittin the sack, catch up in the morning. See ya!

 

Definently yota for reliable (dads jeep needed u-joints alone twice a year) and dd jeeps don't ride the best especially on the interstate. But jeep for OR both my dad and my uncles jeeps could go places we could only dream of. All that being said he did sell the jeep for the yota

 

Power went out for us and is still out. I just forogt out cell data last night haha

 

I think a base wrangler vs say your truck would be pretty evenly matched. 4wd open diffs. You have more ground clearance. Jeep is shorter so more maneuverable. But at the end of the day you can roll the windows up and flip on the a/c haha

 

Idk if your interested Wyatt but I found this. I'm entertaining the thought of getting them, just gotta get more info on them.

That guys is selling a toytec lift? How much would the whole thing cost

 

$500. Toytec coils, 5100s, AAL. He will ship and now states he will pay half shipping

 

You know base to base would be interesting. They have the gearing advantage for sure and straight axles but we are pretty capable OR even stock. We for sure when the comfort battle

 

The base jeeps I think get crap for diff gearing haha. I'm always seeing how they upgrade from like 3.58 up to 4.10 or so. Which we get from the factory haha
