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

@rtkbowhunter

The real reason I have chip on my shoulder is because some woman called the cops on me for taking pictures in a public area of Doylestown Borough, in March 2013. I was just minding my own business, and the next thing I know I've got four fucking cops questioning me. I even had to show them the pictures on my camera.

 

I'm pretty sure you know my story about my Vermont tagged Tacoma in Suburban California.

The California Highway Patrol is cracking down big time on "registration cheats", they see it as tax evasion. That's why I'm getting rid of it, not worth the hassle.

 

Only 1 county in New Mexico requires emissions testing. When my FJ80 wouldn’t pass emissions I used a buddies address in the next county over to bypass emissions.

 

I generally get left alone by the police. I've heard stories about Carlisle police not being very nice to out-of-towners showing their vehicles.

 

@Taco critter

I don't blame the police. I blame the government officials who write the laws the police have to enforce.

I also can't stand the "shooting fish in a barrel" technique (DUI checkpoints, for example).

 

The thing is, the two times I've gotten tickets, I wasn't blatantly breaking the law. I fought both because I didn't think I deserved points my license.

 

Nice pup!

 

Man that is beautiful right there! I got a pic of my old dog somewhere sleeping with my stepson in the car on way home from camping. Great pic

 

This cracks me up all the time

 

Even my dad believes the officers who stopped me in January acted rather inappropriately, especially the cop who wrote the ticket ( but DID NOT witness the violation). He told me that if I took the ticket to court, both he and the deputy would be there. They were trying to intimidate me into just paying the ticket.

 

Right now, I am trying to add photos to my Instagram, but that's not going so good. Anybody else who follows this thread have Instagram?

 

@HomerTaco told me that my truck had a 4.10 rear from the factory, but I also remember someone on TW saying that his truck had a 3.55 or 3.58 final drive ratio? My truck displays numerous traits of having a 4.10 ratio...

• Strong acceleration
• "Bottoming out" at high speeds
  
• So-so gas mileage

What does my truck have?!?!

 

Would it be possible to put the 5-lug drums/rotors onto a locking rear differential from a 6-lug, and install a 4x4 locking diff on a 5-lug?

 

Has anybody managed to put power windows and power door locks in a 2nd Gen RC? If so, how hard is it?

 

Nah. One has 5 holes the other has 6

 

Dammit! I was hoping to closer to having a posi! Right now, my truck has a "fake posi" brake-actuated limited-slip rear diff...

 

There's a code on the door label for both axle and gwr. Also look on the 3rd member itself. There's a tire size calculator that shows rpms/tire size/axle ratios as well.

 

You would be better off swapping the front spindles to the prerunner ones so it all matches

 

That label actually has my truck's final drive ratio?

 

You can swap the whole axle I think
