Official Tennessee Thread

I could save you some money on the lr uca. Got some that just need bushings swapped sitting in the garage.

What part of TN are you in bc I will be in Johnson City next week.

 

Well I'm actually in Asheville, NC for the summer. I'm only about an Hour from Johnson City. How much do bushings cost??

Also, thinking about going with Level 8 Trackers instead of the SCS wheels. It'll save me $300. The only thing is that they aren't hub centric. Who is running wheels that aren't hub centric?

 

$35 I believe. Or a phone call and fib to SPC. The company that makes light racing. They will warranty out the original set if they are the old style bushing. Which they are. I've just been too lazy/busy to contact them about it. So you would have to tell them you were original owner.

 

Sometimes you just gotta shut people up. That convo was gonna go no where but someone getting their feelings hurt. I was about to be tag teamed by people who dont understand my humor. Haha

 

That's a big wheel difference aesthetically. The level 8s are just so plain. The f5s are a simple design but more appealing. Def worth the extra $300 to me, especially if you already had it budgeted. And I would get some camburg ball joint arms instead of LR

 

Yeah see I don't actually have this money yet. I'm working on it. Plus I need to have double what I'm spending (or atleast $1500) so that I have money for the semester. I think I may be pushing back when I actually get everything. I should just wait and do it right the first time I guess.

 

Well there's no doing it right when it comes to an opinion. I would say though if you want the f5 wheels then just wait and get them. There's nothing holding you back from buying everything else and installing it and then getting wheels later. Plus most tire shops, if you buy a lifetime balance, will swap tires from rims as long as the tires stay the same (you buy the lifetime for the tires themselves). It's a lil different if you were talking about a few thousand dollars to save up the difference, like if instead of the OME lift you want a full King/ TC midtravel kit, but only $300, you could possibly get that from a bday party or something.

 

Well the onlyreason I'm getting the F5's is for the 4.5" backspacing. I would need spacers to run 285s on stock wheels and I'd rather avoid them.

 

My Rebel Racing wheels are not hub centric to the toyota 106mm. They are however hub centric to a GM 108mm. I bought shims on ebay for under 5$ that are 106mm ID and 108mm OD. They are hard plastic and really only aid in mounting. The acorn lug nuts keep it centered enough after that.

 

The only reason? .....

 

That was my main motivation for it. I just need a wheel with 4.5" BS..

 

I've heard about that. No problems with Vibes just running the rings?

 

None so far. Seems to work just fine.

 

Awesome.

 

I should have thrown myself a birthday party.

 

Keeping the truck of course! It's paid for. Just want something to drive around town with. Want to SAS the truck and make it more of an expedition vehicle

 

1 hour!

 

I fucking hate it when you try to be the optimistic one in the office, and someone else is being negative. It doesn't matter how hard you try that fucking negative prick always wins.

 

yep

 

Unless you duct tape him and put him in the broom closet until quitting time.
