Looks too Bling..

 

Umm, have you looked at the rest of your truck?!?!

 

Hmu when the parts come... I wanna see the work laid out before I take a job

 

Miles passed you in kaneohe this morning little after 10:00 by heeia school when I was heading into town.

 

Yeah my son was playing basketball game at the park

 

Grillcraft done. Suspension fix is next. Then hopefully all goes well BHLM.....

 

I'd like to see how the BHLM goes. I am too timid to try it right now.

 

You can do it. It really isn't that bad.

 

I planned on picking up another set of oem headlights and try it. That why if I mess up, I am not SOL.

 

We'll see.... If @TRDeeznutz wants to do mines lol..... If not then I'll have to wait till my mom and dad goes on there vacation... They don't want my headlights in the oven lol

 

Tuned the shocks again.. Made the low speed compression flutter thicker, took out a mid speed compression shim, and added a mid speed rebound shim. About as good as I can do until I get new rear shocks

 

Nate you should charge $$$ to rebuild shocks and coilovers so that way you can rebuild my icons

 

Lol it's not as fun as it looks, so it wouldn't be cheap. I guess cheaper than sending them out for three weeks at least

 

What u doing with that part of the grill? I want it. PM sent. Lol

 

So TPMS sensors... For those of you that swapped wheels, what did you do?

With the beadlocks and dynabeads I don't have to deal with a traditional mount/balance and will be able to do everything at home. Still leaves me with messing with the TPMS sensors.

Since they are already coded to the truck, do I remove them from the OEM wheels and install in the new? Then sells the OEM wheels and tires separately.

Do I get new ones, install and then deal with the tire shops/dealer programming them to the truck. Then I can sell the wheels/tires/TPMS as a complete ready to go package.

Go traditional stems, no TPMS, and deal with or remove the dash light. Again, sell the OEMs as a ready to go package.

I'm leaning towards 3 as it's cheaper, easier for me and should give me the most money back into my pocket.

Any ideas or opinions?

 

I would swap over your tpms to your new wheels. No need for traditional wheel weights, I just have dyna beads in mine. I would go with the "off road" larger beads and go 10 oz, IIRC. If for some reason you can't swap tpms, then resort to your leaving them out if you wish.

I always wondered if you could leave the tpms stored in your truck and just reset the computer to zero psi. I don't think that'll work or people would be doing that already.

 

I swapped my sensors into my new wheels until I broke one of the valves. Now since my spare has no sensor, I'm gonna have to do the mod that turns off the low tire light. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2012-tpms-light-disabled.284690/

 

I have a tpms programmer, and programmed in my new ones and kept a few of the stock ones as spares.

think the programmer was $130 on Amazon

 

I didn't put the sensors in my new wheels... I did the black tape mod for the tpms lamp. I plan to do the 4-5 stem "pipe bomb" then put it in the bed compartment
