Texas BS Thread

Yep I used to get challenged to drag races at least 3-4 times a week driving around Tyler. Ricerriffic

Ellen hated driving my car because Hondas would always tailgate her and then blow by her

 

This older 2500 lifted Suburban with a couple of dumb hicks in it tried racing me a couple of weeks back. I clicked the little ECT button that changes when the transmission changes gear and such giving it a faster start and better acceleration and gunned it. I hit the speed limit quickly, a couple of car lengths ahead (my Tacoma>their suburban) went 5 mph over, got into their lane (they were in the left lane) and I slowed down enough to make a u-turn. Not sure exactly what I accomplished or what i was trying to but I accomplished it.

 

What's ECT?

Do you mean ETC?

 

Yeah, just looked it up.

 

1st gens ftw.

 

I was just outside messing with the traction control.. No more open differential and wheel spin.

 

Rear locker ftw.

 

Skewp > locker

 

Or I could go get a stick on scoop from autozone or similar retailer. They have all the cool stuff there.

 

I love all of the chrome accessories there!

 

I was driving home from there the other day after getting new headlight bulbs and nearby I saw a riced out tan 1st gen that had a trd off-road sticker but nothing else indicating it was for off road. Street tires, 18 inch chrome rims, chrome trimming on every possible service. Fancied up grille with blacked out headlights and tail lights. The rear window was covered in aftermarket street vehicle stickers and Toyota emblem stickers. I was slightly ashamed to have been in a Tacoma. He had ruined his.

 

I tend to mad dog people that put shit on their trucks.. on another note.

Just saw this picture of my truck on the dealer website.. Made me laugh

 

So, when I got my tires, I had them put the white lettering on the outside. A friend of mine said they we're dumb. Opinions? They look when it is driven fast enough.

 

Depends on what type of tire really

 

Hankook Dynapro ATMs. I decided to try to go with the whole anti-blackout thing and do a white-out sort of thing. Working my way there.

 

Probably better, especially with a white truck.. I think the whole "blacked-out" style is starting to get old.

 

Just gonna need plenty of ideas of what I can make white. Can't really do a white tinting.

 

Too much lettering on those IMO to do white out. I only like tires letters out on older trucks with BFG A/T and Radial T/A
