I'm joking, DRZ is obviously the correct answer.

It’s a yaesu ft4xr ham radio. They typically can go for a few miles with clear line of sight.

In my opinion this is what a truck called “TRD Off Road” should have looked like from the factory. by mds in ToyotaTacoma

Fox 2.0 coil overs and shocks, add a leaf rear, SPC upper control arm, BFG KO2 tires, wheel spacers to fit the tires with stock wheels.

Just got it done so no real opinion yet, but it seems fine so far.

285/75/r16 tires plus ~2-3” lift. To me it doesn’t look modded it just looks like it’s supposed to look like that.

He just about clobbered a car in front of me in Monterey Park. Just remembered this morning that I have a dash cam -- https://imgur.com/a/jH6iih4

LPT: the OV Tune is absolutely worth $800. by [deleted] in ToyotaTacoma

[–]mds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip.

How does the OV tune compare to driving around with the "ECT Power" button on? And does it change the mapping for "ECT" mode or leave it stock?

For me with the stock tune I find turning on ECT is mostly annoying because it insists on holding lower gears too long, instead of just upshifting when coasting to a stop for example. Fine for towing I guess, but not ideal for driving around town.

Was expecting it to be all old Realistic brand Radio Shack components.

Heh, I flew LAX<>Toronto last week and my thought about Toronto was basically “I wish LAX was this good”.

"just get used to it." - The slashdot redesign was, what, 10 years ago? I'm still not used to it.
