I guess it could be good at mudder competitions? Otherwise it's quite useless.

Seems a little top heavy for anything other than show n' tell.

Yeah, could do some mud runs. But then it would get dirty. And those tires won't get far in REAL MUD. 

Rupert

And you would be an idiot who muds.

That video spent more time showing rednecks drinking and twerking than it showed actual mud bogging.

That's because what was happening was mostly rednecks drinking and twerking.

I get a kick out of the rigs that are just like a flatbed platform with an awning over them, probably built on some old pickup truck frame. Its like they were taking bets on just how dangerous of a vehicle they could make.

I was hoping it was more along the lines of a gift certificate to a pasty place.

giant_mtb

Fuck if I know.  Tacoma doesn't drag mud.

BENZ BOY15

Yeah definitely not an ideal vehicle.

I think power steering pump might be on its way out.  Now that it's been getting colder, it makes that notorious p/s pump whine on cold startup.  I can hear/feel it engaging, too.  Feels like a surge of pressure, as if there's a blockage or bubble or the pump doesn't like to engage right away on startup.

Yeah, that's a Walmart seat cover. Cause dog and I just shampooed everything.

BENZ BOY15

Looks like Kota approves of the Walmart seat cover.

giant_mtb

Damn right he does. It's adorable when he makes himself barely fit laying down on the seat.

Although I don't like using the word cute, that is pretty cute. :lol: He's a cool guy and it looks like he has a nice winter coat going as well. My dog does the same with arm chairs and curls into a little ball....surprisingly little for how big he is.

giant_mtb

He's a very cute creature. No shame.  :lol:
