The tall or short guys

 

Anyone have a set of newer shank style lug nuts they would sell? Located in Logan drive to Salt lake/ Draper regualary.

 

Do the 3rd gen wheels use the same lug nuts as 2nd gens?

 

From what I have been told from the dealer yes. All generations are the same shank/shoulder style.

 

I've got 18 I could give up. Just need the other 6 for my spare.

I'm in Midvale just off the freeway during business hours.

 

I have some also. I will need to verify how many, will check tonight. They are from a 2008 Tacoma.

 

I can find 21 of them. The other 3 must be in my garage somewhere. You can have them if you want. Work in Salt Lake and live in Layton.

 

Already sold....but short.

 

So I saw some ery yesterday that was too good not to share.

Pulled into the hardware store to grab a few bolts since they are on the way to work. Craptastic Honda Civic next to me had 5 point harnesses with the top shoulder strap holes mounted THROUGH THE HEADREST STALKS!

 

Man, pretty dead in here lately. Anyone know where the best place to buy MaxTrax are?

Kurt / Cruiser Outfitters is basically my neighbor, and Equipt is up the road a little (but sold out). Figured there might be another place I might look.

 

@Gunshot-6A In my area... Fat Bobs in Layton, All Pro or 4 Wheel Parts in Ogden.

 

They're basically ready for Gymkhana.

 

It was at the same Lowes on 9000 South you always see that rigged out Rav4 and other crazy vehicles at on UTOR.

 

I still don't get what was the problem with the owner of the Honda Civic or that vehicle.

 

5 point harnesses' top straps are bolted to a cross bar in a roll cage. It's attached to a structural element of the vehicle. Adding it to the headrest stalks will either sheer the headrest in an accident, or more likely, snap the seat recliner catch and you will hit the steering wheel about the same time the airbag goes off. Either way, "yer gunna die"

BAD!!! :


Proper:

 

Ok, I got it. Ghetto ass set up will get that driver killed in an accident.

 

Ha! But it looks SOOO fast

 

You should do it. You have the supercharger to back it up.

 

cant believe how expensive those things are.

 

I don't disagree. BUT I will say that yesterday while I was looking at my trusty X-bull ones I've had for a year or so now, then feeling the maxtrax, there is certainly a difference in build quality. 200ish dollars more so? Prob not, but still a good difference. Gonna pick up a second maroon set so I can have 1 for each tire if I really get stuck. Plus then I'll have Virginia Tech colors!

I'm curious on the margins they are making. I work for a company that molds thermoplastic products currently, and I know the cut we make. MaxTrax is basically the only game in town, except for maybe the TRED Pro products. But they nailed the marketing game with all the Ronnie Dahl and X Overland types. Lots of budget options looking for their crumbs, but no real competitors.
