Re: Project S-10?

Quite a bit of good information there. If you have a 2.2L here's the performance modification page:

What's the "donkey Kong" feeling? I actually really like how the truck rides and handles, I find it very responsive and easy to maneuver.

I've had 3 '86 Toyota trucks and they all handle/rode like poopy. I test drove a 96 Tacoma 2wd and it felt the same, poopy. We also own an '05 Tacoma (the NBS) and I feel that handles/rides like poopy too (the steering is very jerky and unresponsive and the suspension is "too rough" for a midsize truck), but the seats are much more comfy.

.

Its probably a personal deal and wouldn't really apply unless you are over 6'2" or over 250 pounds.

My wife saw me hunched over the wheel of my first "baby truck" as she calls it and said i looked just like Donkey Kong when he's driving the little car.

Nothing to do with the way it drives or handles -- in fact, i have as much leg room in my little truck as i do in my '69 C-10, plus the steering wheel doesn't crowd me

Re: Project S-10?

ohhh, gotcha. I didn't think of you as being "Donkey Kong" which was my favorite game for my super nintendo back in the day

I'm only 5'8 and around a buck sixty five, I've got a ton of room

And yes, I completely agree, at 5'8" I too feel cramped in my 67 C-10.
