    don't look at my rig, you'll be gratefully disappointed. ;)


    PS: Leaf Spring day is tomorrow! nothing fancy, just fixing a broken stock leaf, getting the same leaf on the opposite side replaced so that everything is the same.

    PPS: !! Long story short, the inlaws lent us the $$ for the truck since their interest rate on their line of credit was 3.5% VS the 8% the bank wanted. Apparently I had my math wrong, and the inlaws tell me I only have 2 payments left on it! ( verses the 5 I thought I had ) I'm going to see about keeping the payments going after its paid off, and tucking that money away for some upgrades!

    I have been to Action Truck in Burnside for my tonneau cover, but are there any other shops selling related truck stuff in HRM? Especially offroad stuff?

    Coffee tonight.

    Tim's on Forest Hills Parkway / Cole Harbour Road.

    I'll be there nine-ish, you will probably hear my blowing exhaust. I suspect that other, cooler, folk arrive as early as 8:30.

    Who's in?

    That's not bad at all!

    I normally get 19MPG. Pretty sad for a 4 banger..

    That said, I am turning almost 300 pounds of tire and rim. Little 2.7 works hard daily.

    Holy crap! 3-5L/100kms would be very nice!

    I get around 13.5L/100km (edit: 17.4mpg) in the v6 taco, our work truck sees 26L/100km (9mpg) hahaha
