Yeah you might of Papa, it was on the Spokane CL for a couple hours, we worked a deal and he took the ad down. I did make the mistake of telling him about MBS... reason I say mistake is after seeing the following these have, he almost didn't sell it. So yeah, got it for a few hundred and poor thing smokes. The small wheels with low profile really messed with the gearing. To drive 60mph, you have to actually go 70 on the speedo (verified via GPS). So the truck runs good except driving like its geared super low lol.

Let's see... it only really smokes when the engine is under load. It is burning oil faster then the fuel lol. Drove it 200 miles last night on the back highways and had to top it off with 2 qts. The good news is I filled the tank for $30 from empty and it went just a hair below the 3/4 mark after 200 miles. The gas gauge actually works too lol. So maybe someone will want to trade my rims and tires for a stock set??? Lol. Seriously, these wheels look cool and are a lot smaller then the stock wheel/tire combo so it sits pretty low. Just rather have bigger tires for now since I'll probably be driving it on highways.

Well that's it for now and Todd, I may take you up on that offer. Going to head over the pass today and check a couple jobs out. Will take some better pics after she gets a bath.

Yeah I like the pathfinders, had a set on the Zu in my avatar, here's a closer pic of it after the rodeo front end swap and before the black primer.

Sorry, still can't paste the code from my phone lol. Anyway, Todd man, I'm getting closer. I'm over here in 91extcabs town. Pretty nice but all these tuners are making me wish I had my Talon lol. I need to figure out the money thing first before I drive there. This truck is eating me alive in oil lol. Took the long way here across Highway 2 and used about 10 quarts!

Tell you what, nobody tailgates me now lol! My trucks black and I can see the oil spray on the paint near the tailpipe. Makes me consider going the 5.0 or 350 route.

I think I'm now officially a minitrucker bum lol... either that or I have a Mazda B2200 Motorhome. Damn I need to hit up those day labor jobs and get a place. Its funny to me because I could have planned this... but no, the minitrucker in me said just go and worry about the small stuff later lol. No wonder people call us minitruckers crazy!
