DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

The thing that Frank doesn't like to join us at.

 

The 2wd message on the registration page turns him away.

 

Pretty sure 2wd turns him away from most things.

 

Would anyone like some light?

 

Looking for opinions. Would this be a good trade on tires. His are the K02's 285/70/17 on the red taco and mines are Nitto grappler 265/70/17. I think it's a good trade but my tires have Discount Tire warranty and im not sure if that size of a tire he got would fit on my stock suspension on my 3rd Gen, would i need spacers?

 

Thanks to @GottaTacoma for permission to add some of his photos to the thread for last weekends HF IFS4Lyfe TTC event. I put this thread together, and had not heard that folks from DFW made the trip, so very glad I stumbled across his! You will find his on page three of the thread! If you were there, please feel free to add any photos you may have.. have fun!

Keeping your same wheels? It's a good trade, but why is he wanting to swap? You probably want to have a lift and possibly cab mount chop if you're going to fit those 285's. You'll lose some gas mileage, but that may not matter if your job pays for the gas.

 

Anyone running Brembo pads on their third gen? It’s time for me to do pads and rotors soon.

 

Feeler: Anyone interested in some At The Helm bed stiffeners? Unopened box. Prob $100

 

@SA4runner wants these

 

Happy Birthday @ztaragon!

Thats a few raffle tickets!

I can play too! #1021

285's on stock will rub bad. CMC is a must and pinch weld hammered flat along with fender liner trimming. I personally dont care for KO2s on wet pavement, they dont grip very well. Offroad they did alright and dont have complaints but am guessing there is better. I will probably never buy another set of KO2's after the first set i ran.

nope but I'm going to be installing a low cost replacement this weekend on my truck. Found a great deal on Amazon exclusive to prime members for stoptech rotors and pads at 48% off! Hopefully they turn out decent.

$103 POWERSTOP Brake Kit For 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner [Models with 12.56" Front Rotors], 2007-2014 FJ Cruiser, 2005-2022 Tacoma 6 Lug Models - Front Replacement Brake Pads and Rotors Kit, KOE137

https://smile.amazon.com/Autospecia...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=ZQB980K4DN6K87SX9C0B I will kinda want to upgrade to a big brake kit to help with cooling next time I need rotors. My trucks become pretty heavy.

 

1. I agree, K02 is trash
2. Thanks, I’m a prime member l’ll look into it. I don’t mine paying money for brakes. I upgrade my G8 to Brembos and larger rotors. My wife has bad ass Brembos. I’ll check into your link.

Im not familiar with this platform still, what is the upgrade? Links? I’ll dig around some myself.

 

I just couldn't turn down that deal. $90 for pads and rotors is a steal. Should be equal to stock or slightly(likely unnoticeable) better than stock. I needed low cost for now after my month without a job. Only reason I want to go bigger is for better cooling with all the extra weight on my truck. If it improves stopping distance that's just a bonus.

 

Are these still available?

 

Welp... new web content filter is in place at work... no more reddit or facebook, but I have TW.... for now... damn corporate bullshit.

 

I keep waiting for the day we get that at my office. One day Corporate IT called because 5 people were slowing down the network watching videos on NFL.com at the same time. A guy in the cubicle next to me streams reruns of America's Got Talent and The Voice all day long.

 

It blows, guess I will just be on here more until it is somehow blocked.

Yet somehow... Netflix, Youtube, TMZ, Amazon, MSN, Yahoo, are still accessible... but Reddit, FB, Lifehacker are blocked...

 

Thank Odin for cellphones with internet capabilities...

 

Yes true, but screen so small...

I like to browse my reddit quickly.
