PS. Nokian.

 

you'd be smiling if you got them at the price I did too haha

 

I bet I would! Put some studs in those bad boys and kick ass. I'm sliding around like a cow on ice whenever I hit an ice patch in my KO2s. Just the other day I slid about 15 metres past my building's parkade entrance cause the road past it was iced up. Backed up like a boss, though

BTW, I wrote Nokian cause you wrote it Nokia. The companies may have originated in the same country, but I'm fairly sure cellphones and tires are different businesses

PS2. Hakkapeliitta !

 

lmfao I typed this on my phone it auto corrected it to nokia
gonna correct that now.

they don't make studs for the haks, the studded ones are a different line which I can't get here in southern ontario sadly.
Picked the set up for just over $700 from Kaltire

 

Oh, really? I thought you could put studs into these guys... maybe not.

:O This is supposed to have a happy time of the year. Stop depressing me.

 

ya I thought the same until I checked them out. Hakka can't be studded

But on a postive note the delivery got slightly delayed as the tonneau wasn't in stock for them to get installed in time so delivery date is now being moved. It will be ready the 11th but I won't be able to get to the dealer until the 14th. So next saturday she'll be home.
Pop n Lock came in the mail the other day since Tdot Performance had them on sale for boxing day.

 

Oh sweet. Auto-locking tailgate mod is also on my list of things to do.

 

They were on sale at tdot performance.
I looked into it after I order, because I mean why look into what you're actually paying before you pay right?
Accounting for exchange rate and shipping from the US, I got it for about $30 cheaper than it would've cost me.

 

That's pretty good. On sale I'd have considered it. As it stands, I'm planning to just get an actuator and set it up myself - shouldn't be much work and I expect $20-30 of parts. Time will tell

 

Ya after shipping mine was $115CND. definitely a lot more but I wasn't fond of all the ideas I've seen on here about doing it cheaper like drilling the plastic part etc.

Oh well just hoping the MPG isn't too harsh given the distance I need to drive for work now.

 

And she is finally home

Picked up some goodies today
If it warms up enough this weekend hopefully I can paint the sliders and get them on.

Still waiting on the rear shocks before I can do the install.

 

Which FOX rears did you get? I'm borderline considering ordering a set right this minute.

 

2.5 extended length remote resi
Theyre on back order. Should be here mid April.

 

I was looking at those earlier today. A local shop that sells Kings, ICONS and FOX borderline refused to even talk about selling me those. Apparently they do not last at all, and the 2.0s are much better. Can't get any damn consensus out of anyone - everyone hates different brands and models .

They do look/sound beastly, though. Hope they work out well for you!

 

sorry correction
I go by part numbers
Fox 985-26-118 remote resi rear shock 2.0

Front is
Fox

$2,084 880-06-418 Rear Coilover Shock Absorbers Fits Toyota Tacoma

880-06-418
2.5 extended travel remote resi

Both have compression adjustment.
just checked the invoice

I ordered them back in December so couldn't remember exactly lol.
But ya pretty sure that's what the local shop said as well so recommended I go with the 2.0 instead.
