The Petting Zoo (Suppository Depository)

Coffee & back squats for breakfast

 

Good morning my friend! How are you?

 

Surviving Roberto. You? How are you liking the pro?

 

Same here mi Hermano! Day by day.

I'm liking it very much.

Based on what I've read about the suspension characteristics of the Off Road being a little spongy, and my own experience with the Sport (before I replaced the suspension components) being tighter and tuned for on road, the Pro has both. There's almost no body roll, lean, under/over steer, even at higher speeds. Over sharp bumps, like defects in paving, potholes, bridge deck joints etc, it has more than enough ability to soften them.

The leather seats are very comfortable. I was able to get my seat into a comfortable position immediately, unlike the cloth seats in the Sport.

I'm not having any problems keeping my mpg average at 19. Obviously the OEM tires have a major influence but I think the 19' isn't prone to the same transmission or programming issues the 17' had.

Since I have the bed extender I'm not worried about less cargo room. I can't wait to get the Softopper and install it. Not only is it going to look fantastic on the truck it will help to utilize the bed more effectively by capitalizing on the added height.

The only thing I'm not completely happy about are the Predator steps. Simply because they are going to have to be replaced with sliders and I will not completely recoup the cost of them. I didn't enjoy selling the first set and not looking forward to going through it again. Naturally everyone that wants them thinks they should be sold for nearly nothing. The dealer overcharges for them so getting a fair price is hard. Knowing you're paying extra for them because they are part of the finance makes it harder to accept.

But other than that we both love being back in a Tacoma! On a scale of 1 - 10 we would give it an 11 overall.

 

But the real question, hows the dorkel life treating you?

 

Well, I don't mean to brag to you youngsters but, Snorkel Taco Owners Go Deeper, Longer!



Actually, I haven't had a chance to try it out yet Chase. @Justanotherhemi Jaime asked how I liked the new truck. I explained above. We love it!

It's only 3 weeks old and has over 2,100 miles on the clock.

 

Lol

I hear ya! I hit a creek at Greenridge after mine and it felt nice not having to worry.

I stood in Miguel’s front yard and watched the islands Xmas parade tonight. It was rather nipply out

 

Was Miguel with you?

 

It's a strong possibility.

 

Last year we got pics Jaime @Justanotherhemi and this year nothing. It's all very questionable my friends.

Oh, and!

 

Didnt take any this year. It was too cold to take the non beer hand out of the pockets.

 

Question. Did you keep your hands warm in your pockets or SicUnits?

 

We kept our hands warm in the other Chases pockets.

 

There is such thing as “other Chase” ?

Did you clone SicUnit?

 

Oh Shit! Miguel you are live addressing the zoo crew! That has not happened in months

 

I did not, but there is indeed another Chase. Referred to as the other Chase, Chase 2.0, Chase with warm pockets.

 

The zoo is live for tonight only. It goes to delayed answers at 18:45 EST.

 

We need a picture of warm pockets Chase

 

You'll have to petition SicUnit for one of those. I dont think I have any.
