    You are going to paint that right?

    Never seen wood in the engine bay.

    Took the Wifey and kiddo out for a rip to enjoy the fall colors:

    Mine was also very hard to get on! I read afterwards to do it with an almost empty fuel tank and leave the middle bolt fastened connecting the tank to the body. Guess I was just too excited to get it on lol. I'm in Oregon so no salt so it should last pretty well even with the couple coats of paint I threw on.

    1286 for what? A decent cordless impact will certainly make it easier but honestly, its not required. A breaker bar can get the job done. I'm on the west coast also and back when I installed my OME kit I didn't have an impact. Good ol breaker bar, didn't even need PB Blaster.

    Thanks, I’ve always liked these wheels on Tacomas but not so much tundras lol. Just wish they were wider, 7.5 on a 285 is a little narrow for my liking

    We're not worried about your paint, we're worried about you drinking Pepsi.
