What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

X2 ive driven both the auto and the 5 speed downhill. Manual FTW!

 

not offroad...but i had a little accord manuel and loved it. when im offroading i kick it on 4 low and put it on first gear when im going down a steep hill and its pretty slow IMO too slow sometimes that i switch it to 2nd gear. haven't tried a manuel.

 

Anyone have any suggestions on smittybilt or engo?

I've been researching and keep going back and forth between warn, smittybilt and engo but I really can't swing almost a grand for a winch with synthetic line, so its between smitty and engo 10000

 

yep true but both thing got there odds and ends there both good and there both bad, also depending on what the person likes, the fight of Auto vs Manuel will never end for some people.....
heck if everybody had the same taste there wouldn't be a TW forum, cause it will be boring, and everybody will have exactly the same setup.
let leave it like that before we become arch enemies for no reason

 

take it slow buy a good brand winch so that later i the future instead of buying another winch cause for some odd reason it broke, you can buy the synthetic line, sense its pretty new and cool its kinda hard to find it cheap, if you want to play you got to pay "/

 

Better for an expedition rig plus I wouldn't mind being able to fit another person or two

Yep

Not super hard to swap a manual in

RTT Bro. Bigger then your bed..

Yes it's so much better downhill

It's not. Autos 1st gear down hill is freaking fast compared to the manuals. Autos are great uphill tho. Pros and cons to both.

 

yes i know it is, and i want one, say if you can find me a RTT for 4 bucks i will say RTT is the way to go i made me a tarp tent for the rain and slept on the trucks bed. fairly cheap for a decent setup.

i still want a RTT but later

 

To cold up here to do that haha

 

your just 3-4 hours away just like going to Moab for me.... Say we should all have a meet and do some trails, where not that far from half of the guys that are in the forum

 

Dude..Moab is 14 hours from me hahaha I'm practically in Montana. Al,ost all the camping I do is 7000+ft elevation..cold at night haha

 

dang "/ thats far your thing says Wyoming Montana is far that changed a little.... heck then we should get a huge group going for next summer to go to yellow stone i would say moab but im pretty sure there might be a ton of people already planning on going, im saying yellow cause its closer for both mantana and utah idaho colorado and i have never been there

 

I am in WY. the MT border is 99 miles north of me. I'm 90 miles east of Yellowstone haha

And yes there will be another big Moab meet this spring for sure. Not sure I can go or not yet tho.

Ill meet anyone tho that come up this way
