Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

There's a thing on Last Week Tonight about a marketing company that sells the same commercial scripts around the country.

Scott Elder PAID REAL MONEY for some marketing company to put him in a pickle suit for his "nickel pickle sales."

....and I FOUND IT!!

Yes!!! When we visit Omaha I see the commercials and hear them on the radio too! I keep telling Pam that her brother(used car dealer) needs to jump on that!

 

Does that make him a pickle sniffer?

New rubber on the Tundy yesterday.
They scratched the wheels.
New wheels coming, and my choice as to what gets put on!

 

What the heck? Bassturds! At discount or what?

 

Yeah. It sucks, but they handled it well.

 

I’m in.

 

Cool

 

Gonna take a early lunch that day and show up!

 

Yeah they are pretty good about making things right that's why I use them too. What kind of new meats did you get? Were the AT3's not cutting it?

 

I got AintYoMama Geolander A/T G015. The Coopers were the second worst tire I have ever driven, right behind the Firestones that were on my yet to be wife's Ford Explorer in 2000. Yeah, those tires. 5K miles on them, balanced three times, with a ridiculous amount of weight each time. The last time was last week, and it came out worse than it ever had before. Buh-bye.

For the new rims, to replace these Fuel Assault D576:



Perhaps Fuel Trophy 551, matte black with anthracite rim:



Or Anza 557, again matte black with anthracite rim:



Or the Anza 558, with the colors reversed:



Or the Crush D561, gloss black with dark tint:



Or the Pump 515, in matte black:


Or Vapor 569, matte black, with double dark tint:



Any opinions, TTC?

 

Yes, that one.

 

I like the Trophy 551's very clean look without all the bolts n stuff goin on, that's a bummer about the tires...I have the 33" version of those and they've been fairly good the last 35K miles I've had them. Although I noticed them slipping in wet pavement recently so I'm sure they are starting to wear past the good tread. Next time I will try a different tire that weighs less and maybe D-rated tire vs E-rated.

 

What's an early lunch break? I'll make sure to stick around.

 

9ish

 

Check with me in a bit about the Geolanders, although they are E rated for my heavy duty HEB runs.

A lot of people like the Coopers, but mine must have been lemons.

 

Been wanting to put the geolander MT's on the Brick, so yeah, I'd like to know your expirience with em
