Not that it's terrible here, just that people suck at contact info.

Yeah just don't wire transfer people, or send money to Nigeria. You'll be fine.

Slim wins

Pretty much any 4x4 pickup 8k or less that isn't a pile or one of the early v6 models. 5spd preferred.

I don't like the stock dual-pressure flywheel because it mutes and dampens shifting. Anyone know if an m3 kit or jb racing aluminum flywheel combined with stock Sachs kit would work with my ride? I may be looking into dropping a s50 into it with race suspension. SLEEPER.

as long as you don't put the obnoxious rims on it:

Reply to the sellers with professionalism. If you're like "hey i wont yer fuck toyota turk for $3k dolar. gimme a hookup. i will give your beer for a tip" will not result in replies. Just a tip.

the tundra is a good truck. i've only owned 4x4 toyotas until my recent purchase.

I got an FR, so 3 ft storms up in tahoe are a bit more difficult to access. Eastside off-road may be an issue.. but it will make it to hueco.

Drove a 2011 Subaru Outback on Saturday. Nice ride. Not certain I like the direction they've gone with the size as they seem a fair bit larger than the mid-2000s models.

CVTs. I'm reading about them, and conceptually they seem like a great change. But since they're new to Subarus on the 2010/11 models, am I running a risk purchasing a vehicle with the technology? CVTs aren't a new idea, obviously. But am I going to be replacing this after 80K miles because it's a newer, unproven variety of CVT?
