Tundras live: Dumb Dad Jokes, Incorrect Opinions, Relationship Advice, and Parking Etiquette

In the last months of the administration? Sounds like a cop out.

 

Not a cop out. Don't forget what else was constantly going on to prevent certain things from happening. Couldn't stop three new SC justices that helped Chevron go away yesterday that goes well beyond EPA craziness.

 

Contrary to popular belief, we don't have a king that can just decree things. There's a process that has checks and balances in place. There was unprecedented opposition to anything on the agenda that made things, even those widely supported by the majority of the country, stall out or proceed at a crawl.

 

Booooost!!!!

 

Ponder this

the affordable car act was built with chevron doctrine as the main driver

it allowed HHS to fill in all the “laws” as they deemed

no longer

 

Unless they’re ladder trucks

 

Whatcha test driving?

 

Whelp…buh bye GT!

Hello boooost

 

Congrats on the new ride! More pics, especially the interior, please. That blue is really pretty.

And, of course, the reasons and motives for this most treacherous betrayal.

 

Meat on a stick

 

Yes please

 

Will post more pics soon…

The long story short is I have been fuming since I wasn’t able to get the tranny cooler installed and fearing a big trip we are taking later this summer. Then I hit the truck scale two weeks ago with my travel trailer and I was way over my rear axle capacity. When I realized I had prob another 150ish lbs to add still for our week-long camping trips, I knew something had to change.

Entire fam, including me, was emotional about selling GT. My plan was to keep that truck forever, moving it to a weekend ride in 4-5 years when we retire. But I knew towing would wear it out fast and I didn’t want to have any catastrophic failure.

So a decision had to be made…and I made it. And now I join the growing list of Former Tundra Owners here on the forum.

And just after getting my first TM swag too!

 

Congrats that’s a beautiful truck
Now let’s get started
Lift 3 or 6 inches
Wheels and tires
Bumpers
And those door handles gotta go I’m thinking color matched

 

All well reasoned and intelligent. I'm glad you're able to see your needs and move on, though I understand the difficulty of it. I hope this thing kicks ass and lasts a million trouble free miles for you!

 

Me: Wow a guy on the Tundra site just traded his truck
Wife: Why? Did it blow up?
Me: No it's not a 3rd gen
Wife: What's so funny? There's something wrong with you

 

That’s awesome! Funny how our wives just humor us and this alternate lifestyle.

 

I am not a fan of chrome, but all the color matched packages added $2k… so I had to budget. I do hope to start slowly replacing the chrome in the next few years.

 

I know you despise GM and I haven’t been a fan for 20 years. But they have upped their game! And I am still raging against Furds.

More exterior with better light. Loving the blue more and more.


And the inside. Fit and finish is top notch and everything is super solid.

 

Congrats on the new truck.

But also

I was eyeing one of these but my wallet hurts just thinking about it. That's with no boost, too.

 

LTZ? 8' bed?

 

Without the diesel!? Wow.

 

Yes, LTZ. With a few packages but not even “nicely equipped”. Just right for me.

It is the short…6’10” bed. Driving the city with and 8’ bed is insane.

 

You’re dead to me…


Kidding.
It’ll definitely haul your trailer easier

 

You might see it around town. I traded it in Longview…

 

I hate GM on principle, but the thing that truly keeps me away is that I cannot seem to get comfortable in their interiors. That, and i despise a column shift. Wonder if a GMC would work for me?

The interior styling has definitely improved. If the comfort matches then that's a badass truck. That blue is fantastic. Legit looks good with the chrome, but I'd swap any chrome that is just foil on plastic. Truck looks good overall though. Really good.

Well done, Sir.

 

Off to Longview I go!!


Congrats brother, you better stick around here.

 

I don’t mind a column shift but GM still hasn’t figured it out yet.

 

I'll have to consult with the rules committee, but I think you have to send your TM swag to me
