What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Gunmetal f5.

 

Oops. Posted too soon.


...would look killer on your truck.

 

It's between those and the Gunmetal SR8's. But as I go farther and farther into the rabbit hole it may turn out to be F5's. Either way I win so I can't complain too much

 

They really would.... @BYJOSHCOOK



Old ass pics but that's also the last time they were clean and un scathed...

 

My favorite wheel. Not bling. Not black. Just right.

 

Always loved the classic look of them. May get those anyways

 

Do it! They're really great wheels, simple, and not too expensive. I knew I was going to scratch and bash the shit out of them an so far they've held up really well. Only recently did I really screw one up, rock got in between the tire and the rim of the wheel and chewed up the outer area a bit. The gunmetal stays clean pretty well and hides scratches too.

 

Well I think the 17 in 3.5bs are $195 a pop, but they're out of stock so I can't check, but so far they are at the top of the list

 

Yeah I went with 16" cause tire availability is decent at almost all tire shops. They were cheaper when I bought them I think

 

I know the 16's are cheaper but I'm hoping I get some that are "blems" haha

 

When it rains it pours...usually if you floor the throttle it will start, probably a vacuum leak from the valve cover.

 

How'd you make out?

 

Fired it up with speed freek's advice, and managed to drive it to the dealership.. haven't picked it up yet... the guy I left it with was super nice and said he'd try to help me out a bit with the $$cost$$. I am already relieved, and that might be worth the extra cost of just having it done and not waiting. I wouldn't have been able to go down and see Jason until the 30th, and I probably would have been worried about my truck the whole time.

 

I'm glad you took some action, I always feel better just getting it done instead of waiting. That said, I need valve cover gaskets, they've been leaking for a while..

 

Oh shh i just check and Im at 245/75 R16. Should i get 265 next time?

 

Did my Carrier barring. Easy 30 min job.

 

Bro.

 

No, if you plan on wheeling, extra ground clearance will help

 

Come to the Dark Side, Josh. We have beer.
