UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

Ah yes, I remember the 6 or 7 times I said my truck was "done" as well

 

The same could be said about Tacoma’s. Hell most of the people on TW barely even take gravel roads.

The bronco looks pretty sweet. 35s, 10” articulation, two lockers, sway bar disconnect. It would take a damn lot of money and fabbing to get a Tacoma to that point.

 

A couple years ago Toyota said that "about 5%" of its customers drive their Tacomas off road more than once a month.

 

That's probably a generous estimate too.

 

Got a new name for the "Only in Utah" names list this morning: Jericha

 

¿la feminine version of Jericho?

Sometimes at work I talk with a gal back East named “Nichelle” and every time I hear the name it makes me unreasonably angry

 

+1 on all of the above.

However, when you spend a fair amount of time on TW, then it seems that everyone is modding their Tacoma's. Then you drive on the street and realize that you might live in a small bubble, and/or you look at every Tacoma you pass that isn't modded and you start thinking to yourself what you would to that Tacoma and that Tacoma and so on.

 

LOL! I honestly don't think I've heard this one. BUT then there isn't going to be PAC-12 football this year, so I guess anything is possible.

 

Yea, you should see the 4Runner forums with people trying to fit 35's. I run 33's on my taco and I think its the perfect size for what I do. You get a decent amount of ground clearance and the tires are still a reasonable price for a Mud Terrain. Even running 35's on a tacoma are going to be trouble in the long run (assuming you actually offroad/ wheel it). The Stock Rack and tie rods aren't designed for 35's.

 

So true. I wonder what % of Tacoma owners even know TW exists. Probably similar to the % of Tacoma owners NOT running a Pro grill.

 

Yeah, that was the name of the lady drawing my blood sample this morning.

 

I'm conflicted on these odd names. My name is very uncommon, but not odd. For example I was in the 5th grade before I had to "share" my name with another kid. When he moved at the end of the year I went the rest of the way through 12th grade without having to share. I like being the "only" one with my name. But, some of these special names really make me wonder.

 

Same. I only ever had one classmate with my name, and even then it was spelled with an O, not an E.

Although I did go out with a Starbucks barista named "Conner" as well when I lived in Seattle. Made for some real odd conversations where people thought you were referring to yourself in the third person.

 

The kid I shared with had the same last name as my middle name. When the teacher called on him I thought I was in trouble. If my mom called me by my first and middle name I done something to get on her bad side.

 

I don't have a Pro Grill.... haha. I wish I had the factory LED head lights, but those body lines are too different in order to try and fit on a 2nd gen.

 

Well, since I cant let stuff like this go with my rainman numbers brain, I did some digging.

Based on the US and CAN Sales Figures I could get my hands on, it is a surprisingly large 8% based on TW member number of the newest new member post. I would have thought it would be bout 1/4 of that figure.

Now if only I put this much effort into my real job...

But where is the fun in that?

 

Im avoiding working on our 2021 budget at work. There is truly no fun in that.

Don't get into accounting if you're looking for anything in the way of "exciting" in your career field.*

*some exceptions may apply

 

Yea I don't blame you, that sounds horrible!


I too am avoiding work, hence why I am here haha
