New England B.S. Thread

Very nice present. She just gave birth and bought you a pro circuit exhaust?!? She must really like you. Is it the kit with the header pipe?

 

I'm getting mine mounted Friday. I'll post some pics

 

Do you know what town you'll be moving too?

 

I'll be in the general Portsmouth area but I don't mind driving even to surrounding states

 

Yeah, it's the full kit with the SS header pipe. This winter, all the new bits are going on. Should be a pretty mean bike by the spring. I do keep eyeing the big bore kits also...

 

Maybe I'm getting old but I wouldn't buy anything with 200K on it unless it was an 18 wheeler or a bus...

 

After dropping coin on 5 tires for my FJ yesterday just placed an order for the wife's T4R. Got her a set of Cooper AT/W's. It was time for her, she's got ~58k miles on the original dungflops.

Also got notice my FJ 5100s shipped today.

 

AT/W's?

 

Yup, basically the at3's with a shitload of siping. A cross between an AT tire and a snow tire.

 

I think they just released them this year. They're in response to people wanting more winter performance out of the at3's.

 

That's cool. That's like a Nokian WR

 

Ya I think they'll be sweet. Just got standard load since its just a grocery getter. But should look a little better than the dungflops and hopefully be much better in the winter than them.

 

Was going to lift my fj, but for the time being I'm just going to level it with 5100's and keep it a little more tame than my taco. Can always throw aftermarket springs on the 5100s and lift if I want later down the line. Plus I picked up a set of just about brand new 2014 fj front strut/spring assembly and rear springs from someone on FJ NE forum. Going to use the new top hat/bushings/springs in the front and replace the rear springs with the low mileage ones. Should placate me for a bit. Hopefully..

 

Plus you can fit 33's on the stock height FJ's anyway.....

 

I ended up getting the new bfgs in 275. They're like 32.5" and significantly cheaper than 285s.

 

Looked them up and they look nice. All I saw was load range E though

 

Standard load is fine, that's what was stock on my F150 and it's rated to tow and haul quite a bit.

 

New tow rig?

 

With all this talk about tires, I thought I'd show you all what brown dropped off about an hour ago. Yeah, it's not for the Tacoma. They are for an old Polaris Trail Boss 4x4 I picked up early this summer. Actually only 2of the 4 came so far. After a bit of work, if one would consider a carb, top end, rebuilding the front end, yada, yada, yada a bit of work; the old goat is running good. Got a plow for it too. Now if CT had places to ride, I'd be happy...
