Any chance you have the part number? I can only find ones for the front.

 

Calling all Cheap Mod People

Replaced all the door panel clips in both doors last night. All but 1 were completely broken.

Highly recommend doing this if your door panels rattle. Cost $5.00 and took about 10 minutes per door. Plus with the 50 pack you have spares for when more break

Fortunately/unfortunately. Got to do it now or I won't be able to throughout the winter because my income slows down quite a bit

 

Hey man, get it while the gettin is good.

 

About to drop my truck back down and go from 295s to 275s and 17s.

Now to decide on an at....not many choices

Bfg Ko2 52lbs
Cooper At3 52lbs
Mastercraft axt 52lbs
Hankook atm 59lbs
General grabber atx 57lbs

 

Peace out. Gonna go bounce of some rocks, hug a tree, and inhale smoke

 

Will scs f5's 16" 3.5bs fit over tundra brakes? the 13wl calipers

 

All SCS will work with all Toyota Trucks as long as they fit the corresponding lug pattern

 

Yes.

 

I love my coopers in that exact size.

 

Is that the only size you've had on your truck? Like before 265s or 286s?

Wondering how much of a difference the size and weight makes

 

Pretty big difference. Our trucks come stock with 265/70R16 that weigh in about 39lbs so jumping up to a 54lb tire is a lot on the gears.

 

My coopers have been good to me. They suck ass on wet pavement but everything else they’ve been kick ass with.

 

Replaced headlights & battery terminals. Since I was going to have the grill off I replaced the trans oil cooler hoses too (one of them was starting to show cracks)




The HL grommets that came with the new aftermarket lights are much better than what I was using for my HIDs. HLs would always fog up anytime I drove through a flooded road or wash my engine bay. Of course I still had to modify them but these seal nice & tight over my igniters where my old ones didn't do shit.




Don't know which Toyota the neg terminal comes off of but I had to cut the old one & modify it to work. Can't buy a stock replacement terminal, have to buy the entire ground harness. Like this one much better. My stock were so corroded the pos terminal was about to fall apart. I thought about getting some nice aftermarket ones from a audio shop but whatever, bought these on sale.




Since I have a rivet nut gun now, I installed nutserts for my trans oil cooler, no more having to fumble with nuts on the backside.

 

I love the hankooks. Really great all around tire. quiet and last a long time.

 

That's nothing, now I have 18x10s and 66lb stt pros.

The fn fx pros are even lighter then factory wheels so no doubt they will the lighter than my 18s as well. And I have 4.30s, so not so bad

I've had them before but they look so bland and not aggressive...

Might have to put looks aside

E load is killing it for me....why cant manufactures just make c load an option as well, especially with the popularity of this tire

 

If you don't off-road why not just get a p rated tire. The Michelin LTX comes in P rated and C and it is one of the best all around tires I've ever owned.

 

I do maybe once every two months but I'm also a construction worker who drives on site. Have to cross very uneven asphalt and concrete. Had to cross busted concrete with rebar in it once or twice, I at least want a c load.

 

I would do the C rated Michelin LTXs then. I run them on my heavy ass Land Cruiser and on my Tacoma before I got into more offroading, but even then they're the quietest, best wearing tires I've ever had. They have great traction.
