    As of right now, nothing lol. Hopefully will have one by the weekend.

    In the future yeah, but for now no. After almost 14 years of taco I’m ready for a change, and after driving the 5.7 on 35” tires I’m sold. It has so much power it didn’t even notice the tires, and coming back from a trip my buddys tundra on 35” was averaging 17mpg while my taco was at 12. I know mpg isn’t a deciding factor as it’ll be LOW regardless but I think I’ll be happier in the big brother to the taco.

    Oh damn! Why’s that?

    Mods? Yes, oh yes..
    mileage is under reported with larger tire sizes just like the speedometer readings. 35s on a tacoma is ~12%.

    250mi on the odo is really 280mi

    In corona on smith and 6th spoke to a guy at the light. He was in a nice 3rd Gen with TC and Kings on the front. Unsure the rear end as I didn’t see it.

    Some have abused those placards. But, some also aren’t using them for mobility / accessibility needs. One of my old teachers used them since he had radiation exposure during his military service in a submarine. It also allowed him to legally used dark tinted windows on his rides so as to help him avoid UV radiation.

    Since I didn’t see the driver or his/her passenger(s), it is still unknown whether or not they parked there as an idiot. Even if I did see them, I still probably wouldn’t really know if they parked there as an idiot and it may not be any of my business to know... At that moment, I just thought I’d take a pic of a lifted Taco so I could post it here later. At least it wasn’t a stock Tacoma. No one drives stock Tacomas here that would get spotted. Stock Tacoma postings seem to hurt feelings also. :D

    Engage Offroad long travel front and rear with some fat tires.
    I have a placard due to my neuropathy and early onset osteoarthritis in my spine and knees thanks to dialysis. Since I have had the truck long before disability I still drive it but I only park in the handicap when I am in pain. I do get the stare downs though. One day, my dashcam captured one from a girl in scrubs. hahaStare-Down-0001b.jpg
