Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

After driving a 1GR with 33.5's, I really don't want to imagine how much it would suck putting 37's on a 2GR-FKS.

 

In the spirit of spending money. I have good news.

 

Thanks.

Thank you.

There is a possibility of a big spend - my considering a tent/wedge topper but I'm not rushing on that one. Our region is not close to builders but I know Topo ships theirs. In 2025 I'll be near some of the tent topper makers far west of WI to possibly pick one up.

I'm sure things will still add up. The Fast-Top soft tonneau/topper seems perfect for why I just got a pickup truck again. Roof or rack carry is in mind for our canoes. Nerf bars with step on spots are a strong possibility.

The pickup has gone from 7 to 210 mi on the odometer and is growing on us.

 

I prefer FREE.
Picked this nice addition to the patio up for nothing but a little TLC and some new rock.

 

Oh, as a tech I tend to smack anyone who runs bigger than 33s on a 2GR

 

I got one of those notifications today too.

 

Superchaaaaaarge it!

 

It could be fun......

 

"What did the 5 fingers say to the face?"

 

AWWW just rip the band-aid off already!!!!!!

 

I do not understand??? 1GR with 35's no sucky suck. I must drive like an old man...

 

I thought you were regeared.

I still think a 1GR on 35's would be better than a 2GR on 37's. Edit: or a 2GR on 35's, really.

 

1GR on 35s drives a lot like a 2GR auto on 33s.

Pretty good in the low gears. 1GR will not like super high revs at highway, but it'll walk the low speed starts.

2GR will be anemic until 30 ish, then it'll reluctantly sail lol.


Now a 2GR MT on 33s with armor and such.... Now that's a beast

 

Just because desert dwellers don’t order 4WD’s and they don’t rust away in 10 years like they do here

They are $500 all day here for a pair. Throw gears/lockers in, weld on steering/truss, and then you’re good to go for less than $2k. No brainer for a ballin on a budget second gen build.

 

Nice day for a 20 mile bicycle ride.

 

Looking a bit under the weather for a few days

 

On the other hand, looks like you've eliminated any issues with tire-to-fender clearance.

 

Indeed... that huckleberry is squashed.

 

Longboi softopper over near Sheboygan if any trail limos need a canopy: And a pretty rad 1st gen over in Michigan if someone wants a new toy:

 

It's 108 here
