Inferno Thread

thanks - looking good. Considering these as well. Also perhaps the SCS SR8's which are very similar. I like the contrast rather than totally black. An all-black wheel looks like a spare to me but I know I'm in the minority there.

 

Got the door sill protectors put in! A bit tricky to get the gold over to stick tho

 

Thanks for posting these! I have a set on order. I wasn't expecting them to provide so much coverage. That's great. Will keep my kids from scratching up the sills.

 

Saw some discussion on these and thought I may buy some once my truck showed up. But mine, and every other in the dealership had them. Think it may be standard equipment in Canada. Along with our second floor mats, block heater, ball hitch, etc.

 

That would have been nice! But no not stock here in Florida at least haha

 

I used a LITTLE bit of soapy water and applied it to the gap between theweather stripping and sill with a q-tip so you can slide it in without it sticking. And once you have it tucked in and later flat. Massage it around the bend from the middle out. Keep working it over and it will lay down eventually lol. Make sure it is CLEAN!

 

Thanks for the tips. UPS says mine will be here today!

Do the rears cover as much of the sill as the fronts? I assume they are adhesive backed?

 

No they are very very short! I just centered it. And yes they are very tacky and the sill is pretty thick so I sugest doing the back passenger door first to get a feel for it haha the one that is usually seen the least

 

Good tip! will report back once mine are in.

 

It all depends on usage and tires. Tires have different happy zones for pressure. I use chalk and check for even wear.

I run 45/40 most of the time

 

I prefer to use sidewalk chalk on the tread. Draw a bar the full width of your tread, drive it a bit and you will see. Lighter in the center less air, darker in the center add air. Once its even across the tread its pretty good.

 

Same here KO with 45/40 for daily

I bump my rear when I am heavy or towing.

 

The waiting is finally over. So glad to be done waiting. Finally. Did I mention... Finally?

 

How do i find out how many 2015 TRD Pro inferno 6spd trucks there were? Its been driving me nuts!

I still love mine! And I couldn't be happier that my wife made the 600 mile trip to pick it up while i was away for work! And that i was lucky, or stubborn enough to supercharge it while i could!

 

Those 2016 inferno trucks with blacked out grills are looking good!

I won't be ditching my 2015, probably ever.. but if i ever decide I am grown up enoughfor an automatic transmission i would love a DCLB Inferno offroad!

But by the time i feel like wasting that much money again my 2015 will be a prime candidate for a 1uz stroked to 4.7 with a whipple blower. All toyota and super nuts. I think 600 hp would do wonders in a Taco!

And for anyone who has comments, the 1uz is a much more stout platform than ths 1gr. Although i have played with the idea of a sleeved and stroked 1gr, and a custom whipple. Packaging would be loads easier, but the sky is the limit with a 1uz. I can't see a 1gr holding a candle in terms of reliability after 500hp.

This 2015 would be a toy at that point. Im slowly building an old yota or two or 3 for now so i have lots of time to snowball ideas. And i don't have the stupid budget needed for those ideas just yet haha.

 

All that other shit sucks man.

The answer for the numbers being wrong is easy for me. I do my own math to make sure they get it right the first time. Bot trying to say anything bad.

My first vehicle loan was my first tacoma and i had horrible credit. After much argument i walked out with an 8.99 apr.

Now i have done much better, my credit is not amazing but it is much better and I know how to deal with those finance guys. I wouldn't have my 15 if i wouldn't have gotten a good APR. I am pretty happy with my 2.99, although my wifes rav4 made me mad because i got a 2.25 on it haha. I had more leverage on that one though because its just an everyday rav4, not my Tacoma with a line of people ready to buy it if i fell through.

 

Toyota does different APR's for different vehicles. Some you can get .9%, some are 2.99%. My credit score is over 800 and the best I could get was 2.49% anywhere.

 

Yea I was forced to go with Toyota financial services on my truck. Basically even though i was pre approved through my lender and had the process started, the dealer knew the truck was in demand and was playing games. Rather than miss out I just bought it and Refi back to my lender.

Both vehicles are through my lender. One of the things you can do to make the process easier, like I do (this is for anyone)
Is get with your leder of choice, get a pre approval for 5-10k higher than the vehicle you want, and the planned price before uou go to a dealer. Don't say anything to the dealer, let them work.. or rather make them work to earn your business. The difference in numbers from your trusted lender and what the finance guy gets you will be a good gauge on the BS they are trying to pull.

If the numbers are drastically different, point it out and see what the reaction is. If the dealer is close, they have some options at times to make the deal sweeter for you. They get more money in pocket if you finance through them, and they will share that money with you in one form or another if you make them. They don't make it if you walk away, or pay cash.

If the dealer leaves a bad taste in your mouth get the most out of them you can, otherwise there is a happy medium that is fair for everyone. The dealer can make a profit and give you a deal at the same time, but you have the upper hand as the buyer.. unless you want something that isn't available easily then they have yiu by the balls and like to take advantage.

 

Sport access cab seems to be a rare sight around here. Looks nice.

 

Yep, I rarely have more than one passenger and I like the longer bed. It's my third AC. The backseat in a DC would never get used. Loving it so far. 6 miles.
