Do you have the ovtune too?

 

Negative. Can't say I have any issues. 56k and on 265/75r16 with minor weight. Gets around just fine.

 

6spd manual dcsb trd off-road 3rd gen

 

W/ 5paw harness dog bed.

 

Can't forget that for Fin!

 

Especially with the way I drive. Took him out again last week on the local trails and he rode like a champ

 

As far as the spare tires go more and more companies have turned the corner and started including the spare tires again.

Canada had a law that all cars must come with a spare tire so they had to make room for them anyway.

BTW, some of them are surper crazy and need to be blown up before you use them and when you air them up they expand in diameter.

Yup. My parents have a 2010 GLK350 and the spare is flat until you need it...

 

Tempting.... time is however a thing. If the OVTune doesnt sort this trans tune out.... I may have to make time to take you up on this.

Going to have to look into this as well. Stacey rides with me pretty mucn everywhere when I take the truck...

 

We got him a body harness, the bed is seat belted to the seat and a leash comes from the bed to the harness. Good system.

 

I had to order mine. Test drove a manual sr5 because that’s all I could find in the area

 

Couldnt even locate that.

Im good. Im worn out on sales people right now.

Ill give the tune a shot, and go from there.
Got a 4k+ round trip coming next month, so, I will have a solid idea when I get home what the next move is.

If I could convince her to trade that Charger for 4Runner OR or Pro.... this would get much simpler....

But.... eh....

 

Seems to be a good co-copilot so far

 

Just picked up Bilstein 6112 w/OME 888 and Bilstein 5100 extended w/Dakar HD leaf pack. Nothing on the front, 400lb constant load in the back. Anxious to get it installed. Hope it works out ok, I keep reading about nightmarish experiences with lifts, this is my first lift and tacoma.

Bilstein 6112 w/888: 6/5 notch setting

I guess worse case scenario:
Bro lean - get aftermarket bumper or 5/4
Too much rake - remove 3rd leaf
Squeaky - live with it
Vibration - ECGS bushing

I think I’ve been reading too much TW and getting paranoid.

 

I had to use the one on my Chevy truck before, nailed a pothole and shredded it. I called AAA to change it, only because it was pouring rain and I was in a suit.

But yes, these too. Though that only helps in some cases such as a minor puncture, in my example there was no saving the tire.

 

It'll be OK. The bro lean is fixed by adding a passenger. The bushing is sole thing you address if it becomes an issue. You got Dakars. They're going to squeek. Who cares. Haha. And rake is good. Trucks have beds. Thus trucks have rake. Otherwise you'll add 5lbs and it'll look like your rear end is blown out.

Toss that lift on and just remember one thing; Enjoy it. Congrats on the purchase

 

Did she bring it to TX? Cause if not, I think the saying is "better to ask forgiveness than permission"

 

First place all three races last night. One of them had me and my buds 1-4. Had a great time but place was an absolute mad house.

 

Nope. Sitting here collecting dust/leaves. We werent really expecting this duration.
Currently looking for a spot to park it for the winter....

And while I usually abide by that saying... this car was for her. She picked it. She drives it.
If any more gremlins keep popping up, ANY specks of rust, etc, itll get sold/traded before value plummets, and I will have to split that between down payment, and supercharger for T4R

 

Morning everyone.

If y'all need a chuckle... Too lazy to grab the manual. Changed the oil about 4 times in my truck now. Thought I needed 7qt but wanted to check.

Go to the third GEN section and type in Oil change for titles. Lots of results there....

Happy Sunday! Dang it's brisk
