    So I was doing some maintenance like one does. Oil change and the standard every 10k service. Also finally changing my spark plugs now that we have some nice weather. Only to discover that they sent me two different plug’s. 3 right and 3 wrong. All tagged by the vendor with the correct part number. Ordered back in January so too late to return them now. :angrygirl:IMG_0908.jpgIMG_0909.jpg
    So now I have changed the passenger side and will have to go back to do the drivers side.

    I noticed a bunch of the green death on my positive battery terminal. I can report that Toyota didn’t cheap out on the clamp. It is indeed actual copper

    On the plus side and keeping with the theme of the group these arrived today

    Yes that is qty 5. I bought a matching rim and am now going to run a full size spare.

    Check the plugs with the vendor.

    Being one number off might mean right & left.

    I have a whole set of NIB plugs if you need some. I'm running 1 step colder so don't need them. Can give you a deal to get rid of them.

    Oooo, and some skinnys :thumbsup:

    Poop, and I just ordered some more. Maybe I can take them off your hands at the next meetup.

    Edit: for the record I didn't want load range E tires but Falken only make these in that load range.

    These are not even close. Wrong thread diameter, socket size thread length. They had the boxes marked with the same part number but that doesn't match the MFG number on the end of the box

    So this video has nothing to do with Tacoma’s, but it does mention Wisconsin and Old Fashioned.

    My next set of tires I want to go to that same size. Plan is to get Toyo's. There 255s load E actually weighs less than 285s load C.
    Let me know how they ride.

    On paper I absolutely love the idea of skinnys but in reality I can't stand how they look (besides when you start getting to the big skinnys of 35" + then they look good)
