"Wheeler's Anonymous"

Congrats Ryan @eon_blue !That price too!

 

The pain is real

 

Dang that sucks.. I'd roll with you but my Saturday is booked with truck repairs and new installations.

 

Headed to hungry valley, meeting @JaCado and possibly some more if anyone wanta to cruise around for the day (and possibly stay the night).

Im locked front and rear in the toy so any trails are open for us.

 

You should do Miller Jeep in that thing, that'd be awesome

 

If someone wants to be our guide. I refuse to roll solo after the accident in January now though.

 

2wd no lockerNo Miller jeep trail

 

Ever since Yamaha came out with these I have a hard time getting the motivation to wrench on the prerunner.

 

Single reason my taco will remain a mall crawler. Done a prerunner, done a crawler and mudder, over the maintainence. Sxs foooor liiiife haha just start it and go anywhere!

 

Does the Tacoma tow it pretty well or you wish you had a slightly larger truck? Largest thing I've ever towed was jetskis

 

No issues. The only thing it could use is either trailer brakes or better brakes, and itll probably get upgraded regardless next year anyways. But 3k behind it up any hill is no issue, might drop to 3rd gear to find power, but for the most part its great. On my obd2 scanner i clocked 20mpg towing this same load out to the joshua tree meet a few months ago. No complaints there lol

 

That's substantially better MPG than I got following you on the same trip lol.

 

Yea i was blown away. Weird cuz the taco meet at pismo last year i got like 9mpg but i was also towing waaaay more and we were kinda moving good lol

The sweet spot is letting her purr at 2k rpms or so and she'll just sip fuel. Ive also notices cruise control is a little aggressive in its speed monitoring, the San Francisco trip i never used it and we did VERY well, i posted a screen shot a bunch of pages back of the read outs

 

Just a example of a 3/4 d-ring shackle on a Pelfrey standard rear bumper.Obviously a lot of play.

Question being is a 1/2 in.shackle the way to go!Or use the alternatives of spacers.

@Mike likes Tacos Mike what shackles are you running!?Forgot to ask you last week at Danny's since we both have the same Pelfrey rear bumper.

 

I got Smitty bilt 3/4 shackles. They fit tight. Shouldn't be crooked like that. I'll take a look at mine when I get my truck back later today.

 

Thanks Mike!Just want to make sure before i make a purchase.

 

Hi Ron! You can have two of these that might minimize the gap! If you want to give it a shot . I can bring it to San G. next month.

 

Hey G- If he doesn't take you up on them let me know. I just put some zip ties on mine today...

 

Good morning fellows! Anyone trying to go on a run today? Maybe Cleghorn or something close by?
