PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

I have no idea man. Ask @Taco critter clearly he’s the master yota tech.

 

I thought you were...?

 

No no no that’s him.

He’s angry because I said his truck was busy.

 

Looks like fun..at least when I saw Alice Cooper do it

That's what she said

 

Looks good with 31" Tires

 

A quick internet search says those are only roughly 27.4" tall

 

I don't think those will fit my 15" wheels, and I really want to keep my 15" wheels!

 

No I was saying your current tires show roughly 27.4"

 

@PennSilverTaco My old 2000 Tacoma had 31x10.5x15" from the Factory

 

Do you think truck will look weird...?


Here's a 2nd Gen 5-lug RC with a lift kit, riding on stockish wheels and tires, that I saw in Carlisle a couple years ago...

 

That was a 6-lug though...

 

Right but was a 15" wheel and tire

 

IMHO that would look alot better with bigger tires.

 

Those are factory-sized tires; I am not putting spacers on my truck, and I am not spending money on a new set of wheels and new tires when my current tires probably have 20K miles left on them!

We were talking earlier about the use of physical restraint (specifically straitjackets) to protect individuals from harming themselves; I've never been "restrained"...

There was that one time in November 2002 (8th grade) when I slammed my desk into the back of another kid's chair because the kid was teasing me nonstop; One of the teachers grabbed my wrist and I pulled away from him out of reflex, saying "What are you doing that for?" He said something about "needing to restrain me for my own safety" and I just looked at him like "Really?"

The following emoji describes how I looked at this teacher, who believe it or not was actually one of my favorite teachers...



He got the message that I was not a danger to myself or others, and I was allowed to leave the classroom of my own free will...

I did end up getting suspended for two days (the one and only time I ever got an out-of-school suspension in grade school), which I thought was unfair, but I was never known for being a violent individual.

I've never been restrained, at least not involuntarily; In 2015, I was at a friend's birthday party, and her fiance (now ex) who is a cop in Delaware was there...

I voluntarily allowed him to perform a takedown on me and handcuff me in my friend's living room; He did offer to demonstrate his taser on me as well, but I declined that. I've never been arrested for real, and like I said I've never been restrained involuntarily.

 

Physical contact is a strange thing for me; I willingly hug relatives and close friends, and allow them to hug me, but I don't like being touched otherwise whether it's someone I know or not. This was obviously prior to COVID...

When I was younger, I would flip out when people touched me, and this is a classic trait of being on the autism spectrum; I more or less outgrew it, but I still do not like people being in my space if it can be avoided...

 

I dont like the confined feeling in an elevator.

 

Contact of a sexual or otherwise romantic nature is a different issue entirely, and I'm just gonna come right out and say it; I don't really have any issues! We're not going to get into explicit detail here, obviously, but kissing and other things are not an issue for me. Obviously, if a strange girl comes up to me and starts getting all touchy-feely with me, I'm not gonna be comfortable with it, but I react to women much differently than I react to men. Basically, I'm gonna react defensively to a strange dude in a bar if a bouncer or other staff member doesn't intervene!

 

Especially if someone farts...

 

I was watching a video earlier tonight where this young blonde woman is flipping out over how another girl is wearing her mask, she was flipping out screaming, jumping up and down, and banging on the walls! I would rather be in there with a farter instead of that crazy chick.
