WORD!!!!! I feel like a druggie coming down from a 3 day high.. i don't know what to do with myself haha

When you base your first impressions on what people drive.  If they drive any Daimler Chrysler product you already know they're  .  Honestly who wants to own anything who is KNOWN for producing CRAP that gives up at 70k miles???  I think it is funny that the new Heeps(with the mini-van motors) are having troubles with slipping trannies.  NOOOOO not a Dodge with a bad tranny?!?! 

Why didn't you tell me this before I bought my Durango, sitting in the garage with a bad trans.

When you go from 96hp to 116 because of efi, and you think your driving a lambo

When you go from 96hp to 116 because of efi, and you think your driving a lambo

is that the difference between a carbed 22r and a efi 22re like horsepower wise?

[toe]

In 86 it was 103 vs 116.........

[Plekto]

About 10-15% in the middle to upper revs with the right exhaust.  JUST enough to keep from driving around in 4th gear all the time.(mine does exactly 65 at full throttle in 5th on a 2-3% grade)

- When you install a tach because you need it. This goes with the getting on a freeway comment above.  

Mine, btw, is perfectly safe to merge or get on a freeway though I do have to not be afraid to rev it upwards of 4500rpm at times.  Those miserably short onramps on the Pasadena Freeway(110) come to mind.


Not kidding.  Everyone rolls through this at 5-10mph.

ya i have an 85 with an 86 22r (thats is what marlin said) i was thinking of converting to efi just didnt know the horsepower difference

WHOLY CRAP!!!!!!

Welcome to Los Angeles.

That's the oldest freeway in the world, actually.  Designed for 20-25mph speeds back in the 20s but everyone goes 70.

Great little roller coaster with tons of twists and turns.  The locals actually love it.   

[b-radhutch]

ya i live in the valley in madera  onramps arent that short lol

[twistedtoy92]

if you accidentally drop it in 1st at 55mph and 5200 rpm, break the 1st/2nd shift fork and still make it 60 miles home using 3rd gear high/low in the city

[Misfit4Runner]

when your wife is sitting here reading ALL of these saying "WOW, your not the only one who has issues!!!"

and point out to others that the somalian chop top beater truck with a machine gun mounted in the bed in black hawk down has an awesome resemblance to your yota!

[b-radhutch]

when you can drive through the mud past 3 Fullsize ford trucks burried in a mud pit (clay mud) to pull them out without sinking youself

[KDXSR5]

...I am still waiting for g/f to give the toy back! Yota withdrawal sucks She enjoys driving my truck WAY too much

[b-radhutch]

...I am still waiting for g/f to give the toy back! Yota withdrawal sucks She enjoys driving my truck WAY too much

buy one for her than ;p and than tell her you and her can build it together (enless its built already)

[Plekto]

Oh, you're doomed.  The only way to get it back is to marry her.  Well, you won't get it *back* but will be allowed to use it again...

I noticed that when i was watching the movie taken the bad guys had quad cab 3rd gens

[GA Runner]

When your 21 year old truck has less problems than your parents new cars

[83 Crawler]

is there new car a ford?

[GA Runner]

ford and a vw. the vw cant pass emissions ever but mine always does

[83 Crawler]

that's funny. i registered my truck in a city that doesn't have smog, so i dont have to pass 

[GA Runner]

oh i forgot to mention my yota runs better than the g/f's 98 jeep. i'm trying to get her in a toyota

[83 Crawler]

my girl drives a saturn  but she wants a first gen so bad. hopefully she can get one soon 

[BoG-ToY]

who-ever posted bout the third gen doubles... if you search ebay for hilux snorkel, theres a company that sells snorkels on ebay and thats there picture is a third gen double cab, only thing I dont like is the 2/3 wheel well bed 1/3 wheel well cab, but I understand it, I wonder if they made them "longbeds" with a standard size bed as the "long" bed. but then you would still have the cab notched for tires (not a big notch but still)

[83 Crawler]

that was me lol

[BoG-ToY]

when a picture like this one can appeal to ALL TYPES (2nd gen double cab diesel toyota, 2wd though it looks like) BTW lets not forget that 3rd gens overseas came SA. and we know this becuase we own a toyota
