    The Penultimate Chapter *VIDEO COMING SOON*


    I finally set-up the 4LOco Topanga Launch at Hungry Valley yesterday to show you all what a 3rd Gem can do down low with a strong pull. This time I chose for the powertrain to be under load. And yes, at my favorite little hill. The North Wall. So just about when I was ready to go LO, I decided to end this play and you haters just gonna have to find out for yourselves!


    Now I know many of of you who have pulled hard in sand, snow, and mud at the “red light district” know what I’m talking about. Sometimes you have to throttle out to the xtreme. I know you’re out there and have done just the same. And yes, some of you just want to hate to the core. So this april fools gold nugget is for you fellas ;0)

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.

    First and foremost, Steve, and those of you who ARE following genuinely to see what your Tacoma is capable of, no worries, I’m about 800ish miles from a motor oil change. I will reward you all with a final chapter.


    Now I did fire across TW’s bow yesterday with a warning https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/toyo-at3-vs-falken-at4w.828985/page-2


    And I was sort of telling the trufe, lol. I was forced to buy some new tires after I saw several cracks on the Falken tires. They expanded too much when the tires were on the highway. I chose Hankook’s AT2 Xtreme. Xtreme was your second clue! I would have steered away :D AND, I had to be clever with those of you using desktops. If you hover over the threads title, a paragraph or so pops up. Shiiiiiit.


    I got the Hankook’s more for the price, so looking forward to how they turn out. So far pretty damn good traction on dry, ice and mud. Good in wet.


    Later Days

    Think how much better you could launch with a the rear locked on and...



    A FRONT LOCKER

    True 4wd. No more 3wd launches
