I bet you got your taco pretty fast though.

I can't say I've done any memorable gratuitous burnouts myself. Maybe I should go buy a set of thow-away tires on rims from a wrecker.

it's so easy to do a "burn-out", if someone can't do one in their 3.0L, i'd be worried.

Exactacly, mine has 254,000 on the original head gaskets. And idk how long ago the clutch was replaced. So im not going to do it!

Thats what my mom's 99 2wd 4runner, with the 3.4 is for!

i wouldn't do that,

We could swap tires for a day. I'm measuring my thread depth first though, I suggest you do the same.
