Northern Virginia Roll Call

It was 60 days, so you're good until late may. Honestly though I really wouldn't worry about it right now. I'm driving around with no state inspection and never had a problem, so now they'll be even more lax.

 

Okay, thanks. I drove around for two years with 5% tint and no front plate and never had issues, so I'm assuming this will be all good as well hah. Just wanting to get it done with.

 

I've been driving around without a front plate since the summer of 2014. As long as you aren't doing other stuff to attract a cop's attention you'll be fine.

 

Like driving a bright orange jacked up Tacoma?...

 

Exactly. So if I haven't even been bothered then ya'll should be fine.

 

Okay fine you convinced me, I won't drive a Honda Civic with no exhaust down 95 at 100 MPH

 

That orange and the truck's accoutrements act like a jedi mind trick for the cops...

 

Have you ever had a fantastic looking, custom 3" rerouted exhaust made just to realize tacomas sound like poo?

 

Fuuuuuck that's a bummer

 

I wanted to be race car, so this is the price i have to pay.

 

but the good news is the full header back exhaust with wideband bungs cost less then a rerouted ypipe, so if i need to swap the muffler its no biggie.

I liked the way flowmasters sound when your parked revving it up. No one said anything about when youre driving.

 

On the plus side, that means you'll have no problems impressing the Honda crowd in the parking lot.

 

Custom? No. From the aftermarket? Yes. I'm fairly certain nothing can be done to make the Tacoma sound better.

 

very true. It has a pretty nasty sounding pop when you hit the rev limiter. That part i like.

Not true. Ask @DOUBLLD

 

Well then....

 

Looking for some tire suggestions, coming off of the KM2's

 

You gotta be a bit more specific. MT? AT? Street tire? Any particular size?

 

very true haha , MT or AT and 33x12.5x15 or 33x10.5x15

 

I love cooper tires. Their st Maxx is a mix between an AT and an MT and has extremely good on and off road characteristics. The Stt pro is a little more aggressive with similar qualities, just a little louder.

For me, price plays a big role too. I'm running Hankook rt03 right now because they were like $70 cheaper per tire. When buying 5 tires that adds up and to me, the Coopers weren't $350 better. I always recommend Discount Tire Direct, and they price match. I found the Hankook on Walmart's website with free shipping and they matched that. Overall I saved like $400 because of it.

 

The price is a biggie especially since im in the process of doing; UCA's, Coilovers, Leafs, Driveshaft, Rear Shocks, haha I am searching Market place and craigslist right now
