My clapped-out 'yota does 1000s of miles and I'm sure yours is in better shape than mine.

 

It’s the rough ride and bouncy tires that discourages him. I get to San Antonio with a single fuel tank doing 70-75 the whole way


Sheeeeeit I just hit 69,000 miles

 

I like those lol.

I also need a .45-70 to make period-correct loads with black powder and hunt T-rexes

 

What truck is your dad driving?

 

We’re taking our Rav4

 

I like how your vehicle description is Rusty Shitbox and mine is 6-speed death mobile

 

Id take tacoma over rav4...lol

 

It’ll be 2008 Rusty Floater once I get them Bilsteins installed

 

Oh the Rav4 is way more comfortable but I wanted to take pics at the Prada store in Marfa or on the side of the road in the desert

 

You would be happy with something valved soft for bound and rebound.

 

I wanted tuned Fox 2.5’s with adjusters but waaay too much for my use. Definitely building my next truck right the first time

 

Would a tuned Fox setup make a Tacoma float like this? (4:05) I think the Tacoma is too light to have a floaty ride while lifting the truck as well

I officially hit 160k this week.

 

And your truck is 7 years younger

 

Just broken in

 

Thank you. It was really good.

 

In flintlock season, we have to use round balls.

 

You forgot my commute though.

Drivetrain is solid I need to build the front suspension stuff.

 

I'm almost to 140k

 

Thanks Rob. I hope it might help someone else with their pup. Actually, I would suggest that anyone who gets a pup eliminate the problem before it ever happens. Get the pup bonded to where it completely trusts you... if you live in the city take it on some field trips, more than once but at the same place, familiar to the pup after a while. Got a gun and a friend? Got firecrackers? I dunno, this could probably be done in a city, pup in the house, friend outside with firecrackers and understanding neighbors

Full disclosure: This is the only time I have done this, so it may not work for anyone else.
I had to put Max down 6 years ago. I have not had a dog since then. I cannot go thru that again. I used to be a hard ass, dog or cat, when it's time to go, bye. Not so much anymore.

So if anyone on here tries this, like before July 4th :fireworks: let me know.
