I love my truck... seriously. It's amazing how quick it is, I think it looks boss (a lot of people don't like the way they look though), and it still feels like a truck. I've been in some other late model trucks that are so refined that they don't feel like a truck anymore. It does great offroad for a stock truck too.

I don't think they sound good with an aftermarket exhaust though. I'm not sure what it is Toyota did, but to me they sound kind of weak... I'm not sure what the firing order is compared to the competition, but they definitely sound different (for better or worse I guess is up to the individual). And gas milage kind of sucks. With street tires they get a couple mpg better than mine, but the 16mpg hwy that I get is a little disappointing. You gotta pay to play though, and I haven't lost a race with a stockish truck yet.

 

Yeah, they are surprisingly fast for a bigger truck! I've only driven a friends of mine a couple time before he moved out of state. (moved to Fl.) I tell you, that truck was beast! Total blast to drive. It was really nice. I forget the exhaust he had installed but it really did sound pretty good but I have to agree, stock they do sound pretty mean.

As far as the gas goes.... thats around what I get in my daily (01 Cherokee) depending on how I drive it. Not terrible but it could be better.

Love the truck man!

 

Figured id throw a pic up of my ole trail beater

 

Pic no work.

 

Hey you gotta gimme a couple tries, lol i stole this one from a guy that wheeled with us last time up at crozet he snapped of me.

 

Bout time!

LOL, just giving ya some shit! I love that thing!

Is that pic from the last run you were on? With the 36s?

 

Lol yeah yeah. im not as good of an online wheeler as you are yet, but im working on it! lmao jk But yeah that was a pic from our charity run at crozet back in mid Dec. My first time out with the 231/300 doubler. and yeah still got the ole 36's. front 2 are bout down to wear bars idk what ima do before long. So much stuff id like to change lol but just never enough money!

 

Web wheeler, pshhh. I hear ya. LOL! Ya, thats why I was asking is because the front treads look a little thin. What you wanting to change? Tire size? I love the setup you have now!

 

Haha yeah i could really use some new meats for sure. But ya know i hate to spend a grand on just the same ole 36's again, id like to go up or at least switch to iroks. But of course im pushing my front Dana 30 over the limit as it is. My current 36's are blems which only cost me a little more then half price. Maybe ill get lucky and get another pair of blems. But 1 tons, cage, long arm, 39s, beadlocks are all things that run through my head all the time on what id like to change. lol But dont really see any of them happening in the near future.

 

Yeah. I know the feeling. Id def stay with the 36s with the 30. LOL! Blems are a sweet deal. I ran a set of 35" Boggers that were blems. The letters were a little messed up on one side. You couldn't even tell.

Tons would be nice! I always think about doing FW 60f / 14r on the Sami some day. LMAO just to do it. Find another one and just do it.

BTW Post up more pics of the XJ man! That things BA! Now BA with some gearing!
