Idaho BS thread in the PNW

So just realized this is an old post as I type this, but why you thinking of getting rid of the 3rd gen? Last we chatted youwere pretty happy.

 

Well thats a hell of a bummer.

 

It seems that the area around

yeah, that is crappy. Hopefully the curve ball was not solid poo, maybe there will be something good in it.

 

Even though i was able to find snow and thank god i went looking cuz it's been really nice here as well in the low 50's all week just windy .

 

So is a Diesel coming to the Toyota line up or not?

 

nope it is farc

 

I really don’t think so. They have had them for years oversees. I think the first chance would be for the Tundra when it gets a refresh. I’m sure Toyota is keeping a eye on the Colorado to see how the diesel sells.

You can get a crate Cummins 4 cylinder for like 8 grand for your first gen.

 

I hate the smell of diesel exhaust...

 

In Europe they had a 2.2 liter turbo diesel with 177 hp and 295 ftlbs of torque. With 90% of it at 2000 rpm. Would love to have that in my gen3.

I had a honda one in Germany and it didn’t smell. The Toyota’s over there don’t smell either.

 

Now that you mention it, I dont remember VW diesel smell either. I just get the dodge, Ford or Chevy diesels trucks smell embedded in my brain

 

Yeah, the vws don’t either. I forgot about them. Although the cheated, their diesels aren’t bad either. I knew a guy in NC with lower gearing and he would get 50+ MPG on the highway in a new beetle.

 

My fiance is convinced that the Hilux is coming to the US eventually.

 

First the chicken tax has to be repealed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tax
I believe that’s why Tacoma’s and tundras are made in North America.

 

Yes! Good fishing there!

 

I shot some carp with an old compound bow many years ago there. We are planning on hitting it up this spring/summer. What did you catch?

 

Below the dam is popular for sturgeon as well as bass and more. It's the snake river so they're a wide variety of fish. Fishing above the dam is very good as well, especially if you have a boat!

 

I wish I had gotten the bass fishing bug when I was stationed down there. I can only remember going a few times, I did catch a couple trout and a small mouth bass up by the dam. Now I look back and see all the places I didnt go fishing or hunting

 

It's one of the things I love about Idaho, that's for sure. Not sure how much I'll get to go fishing and camping this year but I use to go every weekend or every other weekend. After my split up all I have is my two fishing poles, a tent and a couple sleeping bags and that's it, so it's gonna be tough replacing everything I'm use to having but if I do get to go I'll have to share some photos here for ya!

 

definitely...theres the show of your fish thread also!
