Time to order it.

 

Yours was only like 6-7 seconds faster

 

haha Matt, and you even dug out of third for that! sooooo dirty!

 

I should try one of these and see how mine compares. haha

 

Oh we have a love hate relationship but i'm super motivated to spend some money and finish some stuff up. Right now shes driving, and riding better than ever

Now to go find a money tree

 

^Good to hear things are even kiel man haha.

 

Haha I will try to do a proper 2nd gear 40-90 pull soon.

 

Your truck will look awesome with the Pelfreybilt! Love the look of mine, I just don't use it lol!

 

Haha thanks Nick. I'm sure i can put some scrapes on mine for you

 

Your's and Matt's builds are the inspiration for my next one! I'm ready to get back to a manual truck!

 

unless you are FOR SURE set on a manual i'd say think twice about the 2nd gen 6 speed... It's fine and I love it but it's different than every other manual i've driven. It's tough to get good at, and that bugs me. Just get to a dealer and drive one Also, autos are easier to crawl with. If you're ever in WY you're welcome to shred some two track in whitey

 

x2

The 6sp in the 2nd gen sounds a lot better than it really is. I'd gladly give up a 6th gear just to have the driveability of my previous 1st gen 5 speed. Those things were so smooth!

Being that I've only owned manual Toyota pickups my whole life(this being my 3rd one), I found the IDEA of owning an auto Yota very difficult to swallow so I stuck with manual on my new truck. It takes a special owner to want a 6sp 2nd gen Tacoma...and the only way to know is to go out and drive one. With all its downfalls, I still love the shit out of my 6sp. The quest to be smooth with it might be a lifelong challenge, but maybe that's part of why I love it.

 

YES.

 

Sissy.

 

I've never struggled driving a manual, and than I drove manual Tacoma. You literally have to slam it into reverse!

 

HA! black hides scrapes/rust better imo basing this off my rear bumpers status

 

you need a stronger pimp hand Pat!

 

I've read every manual/auto debate thread on this site and I still want a manual! I just get so much more enjoyment from driving in general when I have to shift the vehicle I'm in. My Dakota was a stick and I row less when kayaking compared to the shift length in that thing! Haha but seriously it's the ONLY reason I want a new truck. Just can't stand the auto any longer! Auto is def easier for wheeling but I don't do much. And I don't have it in me to smash a 30k truck around. Check the last page or so of my build. My next truck is already planned lol
