Ok knowledgeable wheel/tire folks. I need new wheels, 2 of mine are bent. Eyeballing the Level 8 MK6. Running 255/80 tires. Should I go 0, -10, or -12 offset? I'm rubbing plastic already so planning on trimming that

 

0 should = little to no rubbing
-12 will look the best

 

Yeah I'm going to the Olympics. I'm gonna call and ask if they have any to rent this is the first time I've been anywhere that required it so it completely slipped my mind. I usually leave my food scattered around the neighboring camp for some midnight entertainment lol

 

Good luck. When we went to Second Beach a few years ago they had a bunch of them at the wilderness information center where we got our permits. Not sure if things have changed with covid.

 

@PugetSoundTaco took awhile but my buddy finally got me my brackets

 

Killer! Stoked that worked out or you like I imagined. Easy to take off/put on I assume?

 

What @dilbert said. I'm assuming you're headed to the NP. They have them to rent when you pick up your permit. I've been to Cap Alava / Wedding Rocks a couple of times and we always rent them from the park when we get our permits. The only downside is remembering to drop it off on your way back home.

 

No, it's super awkward getting the bolts lined up. But once it's on it'll stay on

 

I left mine on a little to long the first year. The zipper isn’t the best and I had a little mildew starting to brew. I only leave it on in the summer now.

 

I might, I'll take a look and see what I can find. No clue if it's still alive, or if the battery is dead. Are they replaceable on OEM tpms?

 

Holy shit. IIRC, @Nimitz had level 8s on his Tacoma, but not sure what size he was running. With 255/80 you could get away with 0 offset with out rubbing the UCA, maybe even -10 and some minor cmc/pinchweld massages.

 

I'm hitting plastic now, I've got cmc plates ready to weld on and SPC UCAs, I think I'm just gonna go 0 and not have to fuck with shit

 

No. Appears they are solidly glued shut.

 

@bobsuruncle
1st print for the diesel heater build. Fuel pump mount:

PLA at medium resolution. I think it's a great looking print at that level.
Now to start scaling up the other parts!

 

Cheap Chinese diesel heater?
Just fired my new one up for a test run yesterday, planning to start fabricating a metal enclosure for it tomorrow.

 

Yes. Installing mine in a Harbor Freight Apache case based on this video and the Thingaverse parts this guy created. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTywDTi6NTo
His is a 2kw and the files are based on that. The 5kw has bigger fresh air intake/exhaust ports so I need to scale them up.
I'm also using the larger 4800 case in yellow.

 

Part #2 at 8 hours in with 2 more to go:

 

I did, but that was like 6 years ago and my first IFS vehicle. I don’t think I even looked at the offset, I just bought them. I had a Jeep on 35s before and didn’t even know what offset was until I bought my GX haha.

 

Sorry I didn’t see this. GX is 3 bolt too. I don’t know shit about spacers, but here’s what I got.
