How many of you are daily drivers?

[Mez]

Just wondering how many of you guys have your sas tacoma as your daily?

Mine is. I like to haul ass across three states, wheel the hell out of it, and be able to drive it home. There's somewhat of a fine line between building something that does well out on the trail and also works for a daily driver. I've seen a couple rigs that actually drive better on the street after the axle swap. Dick Foster's coiled rig is one of them.

Every day, and it is still a pleasure to drive after 3 years and 50 K miles.
I have 72 K on it now.

I have been driving mine daily, I have a daily driver but I have been driving mine for the last couple of days:0 )

[Dick Foster]

Yep, drive mine to work and back every day.

[Oppositeboy]

mine is. Used to commute 80 miles a day in it.

[Mr.T]

I drive mine a little........................ it only has 270k miles on it and 60k of those after the SAS and 70k after the Supercharger on the oroginal motor.

[xcmountain80]

I drive mine everywhere I love it.

[ZETTNORCAL]

[PappaF2]

mine is a daily driver, even after 2 flops! :o

[dstrbdone]

Drive mine 50 miles a day back and forth to work. Over 101000 miles on the truck and just over 6000 on the SAS. Truck drives great. Even at hi Highway speeds Hehe.. So I heard. :D

[Brain]

I drive mine every day!!

[cdarthvader]

Did for awhile, then bought a DD car, then car Died, now back to DD my rig =) I love it, even at 85 *er i mean 65...yhea...thats it* It does awsome. Only problems i have is alot of slop in my steering because the guy who did my hi steer arms was off on his measurments or something and i have to have shims to use my tie rods =(

[zszac111]

i drove mine for around 4-5 months after i did the swap, it drove great even with 39.5's on unbalanced beadlocks, however i have since bought a new car and decided to turn the truck into a trail rig only, so now the whole truck is torn apart :welder:

[oztaco]

I'm in the same boat as zac, i drove it for over a year after the swap and drove great, but after that many wheeling trips, some really scary situations, i decided to get my exo done and get rid of the doors, so i drove all summer like that but now she sits in the garage all torn apart, this spring i will tow it and summer prob. drive it again.
but you know what they say...
Ain't a real rig if you don't tow it. (or something like that).

Ahhh! you are full of it! Depending on your welding and my other friends, mine should be a daily get-rer–done mobile!

:lmao:

I have been trying to make your phone ring for a week now, but it hasn't worked! I guess I need to actually call you.

No progress on the truck (did find new springs for $50 apiece–but I want to do some more checking around first, since I got two for less when I went to the bone yard with you)

Still planning on making that trip up there in two weeks! I will call some time this week!

psst.. if you were referring to Lary the Cable Guy, its Git R Done.

Hey I have an 1.5 hrs between classes whatelse am I supposed to do?

Ok back to normal thread info.

I respectfully disagree. It ain't a real rig unless you can drive across a few states, wheel the hell out of it, fix whatever might break, drive it home, and drive it to work the next day. :D

:D I have only seen him once or twice on the tube! but I actually was in the middle of one quote and then that one popped into that small space I call a brain so it came out all wrong.

But Mike you have to understand…you haven't seen his truck. :D I rode in it before. and let's just say it is interesting to say the least. hee hee! I felt like I was in a Mad Max movie or something!

besides being in the mid west, him not having doors on that thing would be like driving a fudge cycle if you know what I mean.

[zszac111]

but the bling factor of having a tow rig is what made me do it :D ...... well im borrowing my buddies as of now. i also dont like the fact that driving to the trails eats my tires up way to quick for my liking.

berry, you crack me up man, that is some funny chiat man.
call me whenever you get a chance and send me your cell #, i kind of lost it.

I drive my truck everyday, sure is nice having a set of street tires so I don't have to listen to the hum of the MT's all the time, but for some reason, the unbalanced MT's (Baja Claw bias ply's) ride smoother than the street tires, I think I need to get my street tires rebalanced, stupid cheapo Generals... If you get everything on it right, you shouldn't have a problem driving it everyday, and if you do a 4-link with coils like Dick did, it could very well drive better than factory.

[Tacominator]

if you do a 4-link with coils like Dick did, it could very well drive better than factory.I believe Dick's truck is a modified radius arm setup, mine is a 4 link but I'm changing to a 3 link (I think). Dick's truck drives so good since it's Dick's truck and the swaybars he has, also probably some excellent tuning.

Mine will be a daily driver eventually!

I actually had the phone in my hand last night to call you and Cub #1 got a phone call and I never got the phone back! Damn Teenagers!
