i needed one of these last week

 

is never too late to get one brother

 

Anybody know who owns the nicely built desert sand mica 05-11 style double cab in Martinez? I see them driving around all the time

 

I have three cars, two are 500K/500K and the third is just liability (rock crawler not on the road much)
Also homeowners and various other things

I pay about $145/month with USAA

I've found that if you split the annual mileage between cars you can get a better rate. Like 5K per car. Also don't be shy to ask them for discounts.

 

He's mine and @DannyBFresco's.

 

I pay $185 a month for my truck and the wife's sequoia. That includes 3k (bumpers) 3k (RTT / Rack) 1.5k (wheels) of extra coverage on my truck. 500 deductible.

Because I'm old AF!

 

does anyone have a good tire shop from marin to san francisco? I am looking into some Ray 10s and want to make sure that whoever installs them are going to be able to balance them right the first time. Last time I bought Aftermarket rims I bought Pro Comps and was never able to get them to balance right. I know the SCS wheels are made for tacoma with way higher quality, but still want to make sure I get it right the first time!

 

SCS > Pro Craps. You should be fine

 

I've never had a balance issue with anything I've gotten from Lloyd's Tires in Santa Cruz, but thats kinda out of your range.

 

My credit union just bought out an insurance company. call for a free quote sir. should be 5 minutes tops

844-835-7644

 

also, I ran into a sexy beast this morning with a sexy beard.


@tyfoon11

Good seeing you brother!

 

Deal with them in a regular basis. My policy is with State Farm. Never had an issue.

SF, Geico, Progressive, Foremost/Farmers are all pretty easy to deal with from a provider perspective.

 

SHILL

 

These are pretty legit.

 

When I bout my SCS F5s, I was inspectgin them at home, and I found a couple areas inside the back circumference that looked like they had been ground down before powdercoating. It was clean and subtle, and not noticeable without good light and close inspection. Regardless, I was mounting 55 pound Coopers on them, and was concerned about overall balance and wanted to eliminate any variables or doubt.
So, I marked these areas on two wheels and asked the shop to check the balance of the wheels before mounting the tires just in case. They did so, and said they balanced better than lots of OEM wheels. When the coppers were mounted, no probs.
But this is from my go-to shop in Sac. I would not worry about the wheels, but about the tech balancing the tires.

 

I've only had better balancing characteristics since getting SCS. Nothing special either (local shop and Firestone). I wouldn't hesitate to bring them into a standard shop with road force balancing.

 

Since we're all talking about insurance.... Some of you guys may have heard about the little accident I had over the summer - hitting a tree and it breaking and crashing down on top of my truck - State Farm took care of me

 

good to know if i ever not bail and something happens.
