New TOY..... OTA!

Sure they do, of course, but that's not what I care about. I'd love a truck and a set of dirt bikes myself.

However "pretty trucks" that never see the offraod, covered in chrome (andn other goofy truck-rice crap, big wheels, etc. This one is very mild in that regard, but still has the "pretty" wheels.

Yeah to each his own. We got the truck because I always had to use my dads truck for everything (throwing out yard trash, picking up large items at the store, going to the track, etc.) so I figure if I gotta get a truck and my wife wants the truck I might as well make it stand out! Come on guys that is part of reason why we do what we do to our car right. I know that when it comes to cars I am all about performance and trying to make my car look different then everyone elses on the road. Well with the truck I don't need performance so why not make it look different then all the rest on the road. And trust me there are a ton of tacoma's over here in Hawaii but none rolling on 20's lifted! It's still useable. I can still roll a dirt bike in the bed..... ;)

I just noticed your profile..... So you have the Protege, FD, and a bike still?

I'd def have a bike if I lived there.

No, unfortunately his FD met with a sad, sad end. There's a post about it in the Hawaii section IIRC. Anyhow, on topic, this explains why I saw you a 4 Wheel Parts Dave. lol. I figured you had a new toy that brought you there, but I didn't see anything in the parking lot that stood out. Of course there was that Black Camaro SS I parked in front of. Hmmm.

BTW, I love the Baja Claws. Might be the next tire I throw on the 'Rado if I go ahead with the 7" suspension lift and 33's. How's the road noise on those puppies? My Super Swamper Radial SSR's are great, just a low hum. But, change is always good.


Hahaha! Yeah we both were thinking the same thing! I was like "hmmm... Lang is going to lift his truck now?". Yeah I bought the Camaro for work. As far as the Claws go, I love them. I always liked the look of the tread pattern and now that I have drivin on them they is just a slight hum from the tires. Exactly what I was looking for. We gotta meet up once your finished with your truck!

The protege I put back to stock, the FD got wrecked but I'm rebuilding it, and the bike got sold because our track is closing down.

I'm there! I'd love to find someone's private lot that they would let me go mudding in (since that's pretty much all my truck is capable of). I checked around to find good spots to go off-roading only to find out that there are no legal spots here on Oahu. If I ever do find a spot I'll definitely need some friends with 4WD to get me out. lol.
 
oh what the?! traded the sti 4 that? cool...we go off roading now dave! i can borrow or what? gotta get a p/u soon too. and so that is your camero i saw across the street. and de wife is cool. no need to get rid of her. she is always supportive of the hubbie. peace out.
 
For sure! She is my soul mate! She is always understanding and basically knows that I would do anything for her. Looks like this truck will be kept for a while though. :D

LOL... nice Dave... I sometimes think about doing stuff to my POS Blazer.... but then I remember it's a Blazer!

Glad to hear you might get to salvage that FD... you better have it still whenever I finally get out there b****! :)

Later,

Hahaha! The main thing that you need to do to the blazer is keep it running. LOL! Yeah the FD should take me a little time but should be back and better then before. I've got something in the works...... ;) You better hurry up and get yo' ass out here! Well not right now though, it's been raining for just about a whole month straight. One thing thats good is everything is green! (thumb)
