There’s your issue right there!

When gas is under about $3.50/gal, no one cares. When it hits $4/gal, people go apeshit.

I rode the bus while waiting for replacement parts.

I did it again yesterday!

Tomorrow’s article: David’s new Jeep

Who needs multiple miles per gallon? Seems excessive.

Lane keeping, holding your hand, wiping your nose, crash avoidance, etc.

The bucking is likely one or both of these things. Rear crossmember busing are likely shot and cause play in driveline, replace them. Also, there is a rubber boot in the intake between the greyish plastic pipe heading down beside the throttle body and the rest of the intake out to the maf and filter, this boot is…

Quite a list you got there! Let’s see if we can organize it a bit.

I’ve wanted one of these ever since I saw Jeremy review it on Top Gear. NP.

Firetruck version

If I lived next door to a VW repair center and had a spare car, I’d totally buy this. Otherwise, I’d buy something more reliable like a used Range Rover.

I had to have sand bags in my Tacoma bed because the back end would break loose in the rain or damp pavement unexpectedly when you got on the gas. It put me off road twice and almost a 3rd. The Tacoma beds are some sort of composite material.

Empty or with sandbags

Or if the trucks weren’t 12 feet tall and two lanes wide

Plus most of the people who drive trucks are driving around with an empty bed 98% of the time. So extra weight in the rear would probably be a good thing.

I still think that the bed is not the place for weight reduction on a pickup truck. The cabin and front end are where they should focus their efforts.

Nice fog clouds lights.
