NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Are other popular brands like fuel or methods not hub centric? My KMC wheels are hubcentric.

 

Many are lug centric.

I did a lot of research and chose my SCS F5s based on weight, cost, easy of cleaning, reputation, and great customer service. I've had them for seven years with no problems.
I'm actually go to be lockers one of these days. I guess that means Hutchinson if I want to keep them legal.
Aside from that I would never put an expensive multi-piece wheel on a Tacoma. It's a pointless waste of money. Now, if I was driving a middle to high-end sports car, likely.

 

Hutchinson's are so much money or I'd totally get a set. But ~450 per wheel well its way down the list

 

Oh cool. I found them on OfferUp. Why are they Skookum?

 

Id never heard this until the other day when you posted it. I love it for some reason.

 

Heavy too. 43 lbs if I recall correctly vs 19 lbs fir my F5s.
Really wanted them back when I had an LX450 but not in the budget.

I had always heard the term skookumchuck. Maybe because of the beer or the town in Canada north of Idaho. Probably both.

 

Same meaning i had always heard growing up here, but I relate it to this. Being from a logging town and all.

 

I have a D-ring with Skookum stamped on it. Haha never knew why.

 

Prepare to lose hours, HOURS, of precious time in the internet-suck known as AvE's Youtube channel.....

Anyone need oem 3rd gen mudflaps? The fronts were modified a bit for clearance but still mount at the oem points. Free99.
