AZ BS Thread 4²0

I've just slashed E rated sidewalls in the past, then debeaded these D rated Mickey's, I can only imagine what would happen with a C. Idk, I'd rather not risk it and personally just don't feel comfortable with a C rated tire. My truck is heavy as shit too. It definitely doesn't help. I'm not here for the ride quality.

 

I run an E rated on my first gen and have zero complaints on ride. The peace of mind is cool but my decision making process was they were a screamin’ deal on sale at Costco…

 

Yeah Ive learned to go by the index number or the actual weight rating of the tire. There is a lot of overlap or categories that are nearly the same weight rating but one is a C vs D.

Maybe neither of those things would have happend with a C?

 

I’m waiting on the guy to send me the Gaia track if anyone is interested in the loop. It was a great trail with some technical sections but nothing too crazy

 

Yesterday was play, today was work…hauled 2 1/2 ton loads of dirt

 

After many, many hours of work, my taco is taller now! Icons installed

 

Let me guess...UCA.....lots of swearing....busted knuckles?


Looks good! Nice job

 

It really wasn't that bad to be honest. Everything came out and went back in smoothly, except for a couple stuck bolts on the rear leafs, and the F-ing sway bar. It just took a really long time because we wanted to be very careful to do it right.

 

Did you ditch the sway bar?

 

No

My dad, who still owns half of my truck, said no. We just relocated it, but it swung a wierd direction and required the taking off the skids and some AC lines to maneuver it back into place

 

I have been kickin' around the idea of removing the sway bar from my taco, but it would absolutely suck shit if I was ever involved in an accident and insurance denied a claim because it was missing....

 

Went on an adventure with the GF. Got to see rain at Death Valley.

@XPOTRPR we didn't make it to the spot you recommended in Joshua Tree, three mornings of waking up to frost was enough camping for both of us this weekend.

 

I've been running 4 years without it(2.5in lift, 33s, tons of extra weight). I've had some close call accidents and had to swerve out of the way. Yea it rolls a bit more but never enough to feel like it will flip. Just don't rip the wheel when swerving and you'll be fine.

 

Gets cold in the desert! glad you guys had fun and made it back safely.

 

So you avoided accidents sans sway bar, but never were in any if I'm reading that correctly?

 

Went to good guys yesterday. Great show but I love going though the yard sale selection before the end of the day.

Freebie...

 

My buddy has a truck in that show! It was the "Next Generation" he restored a 1969 Chevy

 

my insurance company thought my truck was a whole different make model CAR.

I doubt anyone is crawling under Tacomas looking for sway bars.

but what do I know?

 

I gonna guess you've never made a claim with an auto insurance company before.

 

Made a few claims on the Tacoma unfortunately. Not once did the question anything. Granted single vehicle accidents. Just sent pictures of the damage and fixed everything myself.

Accident 1: “roll over”



Accident 2: Hit a rock leaving a camping spot
