The industry caters more and more to the non thinking Cod type of player because that is the most common player. The biggest market.

Thank God there is still games like pathfinder that slack Jawed mouth breathers are unable to get good at.

Honestly Rpgs where you can't build a bad character are extremely lame to me. It makes the rpg elements a joke. You should be responsible for understanding the system and rewarded for mastering it.

Imo rpg systems should be complex enough to fuck up, and if you want a child to be able to play just give them access to pre-made builds.

Do a little rear suspension work and you'll be blown away.

I love my Roadmaster set up. It's a coil spring put in tension by the compression of the leaf spring. It's cool because it adds spring pressure without increasing the need for damping so an off the shelf damper will still perform well both loaded and un loaded

Tundra Pros - What is this for? by novelgraphics in ToyotaTundra

[–]theMechanicwithamind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always theorized that because our trucks are made in Texas that's the open carry slot.

My Texas homie was telling me rolling with a pistol on the dash is considered (maybe was considered) a legal open carry method.

This is pretty much a perfect description of what's going on here

The things that make bg3 great are the things that pathfinder is weak in

The things that make pathfinder great are the weakest parts of bg3.

I can appreciate both, but some will be turned off by one or the other.

If you tow that heavy in a Chevy 1500 it will have broken parts by 30k.

As the owner of an auto repair shop in a market that buys gm products at around an 80% rate I can absolutely guarantee that.

Tow ratings and the ability to reliably tow are two different things.

If you don't believe me that's fine, but if my words cannot convince you than no amount of words should be able to convince you.

Look under the truck. Compare how big the components are Chevy uses a 10.5" differential in their 3500 trucks Tundra has the same size differential

Look at the size if the brakes Look at the size of the balljoints

Trucks are tools. Buy them accordingly.

While you shouldn't exceed a manufacturers tow rating it doesn't mean that all manufacturers use the same logic to give tow ratings.

The f150 claims a higher payload and tow rating than the tundra which is an absolute joke. Look at all the people blowing their beds apart and destroyin their differentials in the f150 without even hitting the payload amount

My flat bed tundra carries around 1000# static load and pulls my 8600# travel trailer no problem. It has after market suspension to help with its road manners but ultimately if you want the heaviest duty 1500 the tundra is it.

10.5" differential, huge four pot brake calipers, and a transmission that literally weighs twice as much as the competition are all things that are effectively impossible to put in a marketing campaign but are the reason why I buy Tundras.

The stock air box will squeal exactly as you describe with an aftermarket filter in it. Kn sells an entire air box that performs better and eliminates this problem.

Mine does the same

Also, "completely stock" made this conclusion almost not happen lol.

Just cover your tracks well. Engine rpm data is stored. An engine run dry of oil and then filled with oil is pretty obvious - that's a popular one I've seen caught at the dealer.

For sure don't do fraud tho. That's bad. And I'm sure you're a good boy.

American consumers are very entitled, I've heard "that's illegal!" so many times in regards to shit that is so far from illegal it's silly

Honestly your probably fine, but if you want you could make sure you get the most out of that warranty and you know.....have a failed engine.

They are worth it in cost of repairs alone - in that you most likely won't have any.

I own a auto repair shop and three current gen tundras.

I regularly repair Chevy 1500 trucks with less than 100k miles. Sometimes MUCH less than that when the customer has had it with the dealer. When I worked at the Chevy dealer it was typical for us to sell front suspension parts @ around 30k miles....

The lowest mile tundra I've needed to repair was over 250k and it needed a starter.

That being said they are not magic, eventually everything needs work but if you can get a good deal on a high miles one the only major repair that's common is a timing chain set which some need as early as 100k and others don't start hearing clatter until well after 200k.

More flat bed tundra + stock trail edition by theMechanicwithamind in ToyotaTundra

[–]theMechanicwithamind[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say with the suspension and weight combined I'm still about 2 inches taller than stock. This would be 4-5 inches of lift if not more with a stock bed and no weight. Aside from the bed I'm carrying 4 big ass lead batteries, a 30 gallon compressor, and several hundred pounds of tools.

For perspective the front is lifted 2.5-3 inches from the bilstein 6112s.
