Shop Time w/T.W. Friends.

Mileage is getting higher

 

Especially at that speed!

 

RE: Poll

Have yet to own a 4 cylinder Yota pick up but I have driven a few. After driving a few trucks with the 22R/ 22RE and owning a 4 cyl Chevy LUV with all 80hp of fury it had I've decided I like moar power even at the cost of milage. And honestly the 4.0 is ok but I miss the power of my previous V8 Toyotas.

 

Being towed behind a Ford..




GO

 

And people are always complaining the 3.5 is slow, bet she held sixth gear too.

 

No hitch on my Ford although she is pretty snappy for an old girl.

 

70% of all Fords are still on the road today.....



The other 30% actually made it home

 

All the way down here too. Not much for snow but just light flakes that aren't sticking.

 

My original Ford heater hoses made it 55 years without a failure, nobody ever changed them because you need to take the passenger fender off to do it...

 

About those 22R engines; thinking back about another friend that owned a 1985 Xtra cab 4x4 and I'm fairly certain it was a 22RE like the other friend's 1986, they both drove their trucks very differently and after a couple of years that 1985 didn't like to wind up like the 1986. I wonder if it had to do with driving one like it was stolen and the other a little old lady going to church on Sunday. ??

 

I would much rather you let things out But we can not force you.

I had a Good Friend going through a rough patch many years ago (woman Problems) Even with many attempts to get him to open up .

To keep it simple his two young children no longer have him for a Father.

 

I do agree the Wind Sucks !!

You have family Down South I doubt they get much Winter compared to North Dakota

 

Oh thanks for the kind thoughts! I'm all good now, but very correct where your thinking. My wife told me to settle down and chill about it a few times.
Mom's friend and now POA, was just putting it on me that she didn't have any food or furniture in her house! .So when we cleaned the place up and got rid of all the bugs much got thrown out. The only furniture though was a couch. So now the last couple of days I spent 300 dollars on groceries and put a couch back in there too. No more live bugs in there whatsoever. Mission accomplished. New microwave and coffee pot too.

 

I must have been miss informed about these newer Tacoma`s 157 mph not to shabby for a 4x4 truck.

I think my Camaro Topped out at around 140MPH then that was 45 years or so when I 380 was almost finished in the wee hours .

Yes young and Dumb never gave it a thought about one of those Evil Deer coming through the wind shield

 

Somebody hold my beer sweet tea and watch this

 

Just what is it I should watch your cute little Econo Tig?

 

I owned a 2017 4 cyl Tacoma SR before I traded it in on my 2018 V6 SR5. The I4 was totally fine, I mainly traded to get the couple of comfort features the SR5 had over it, including the factory towing package. My dad has the same I4 engine in his 2015 tacoma and loves it.

 

Nice rims, what's gonna happen to them?

 

That thing is a glorified butane torch
