MARYLAND TACOMAS

Im definitely interested in roof wrap.

 

Ha I don't miss those state inspections! Non of those here in KY. The only inspection here is when you title the car/truck you pay the sheriff $10 to verify the vin and miles. I have seen some sketchy cars being titled.

I can't imagine that is normal on this truck...I mean I couldn't even get it to back up a hill the other day...it literally bogged down and stalled 4 times not matter what I did to the throttle.

 

There was a thread on this exact issue a week or so ago. Leaving the house a little but ago it did it something fierce on this cooler morning.

 

Morning fellas

 

What does the roof wrap do?

 

Two sets of AT3s and one set of wildpeak MT01s.

the MTs sucked major ass.

i will be trying the toyo AT3s next. But so far this chinese made set of wildpeak at3ws has lasted 26k with no major visible wear. I am HARD on tires as most people here know

 

Changes the color, and protects the paint against UV damage. I'm getting one because I have a roof rack and don't want any rust or other components I might store like my kayaks dropping crap onto and dinging my roof paint.

Also +5HP, +3 coolguypoints

 

Careful Critter, he has a scoped 22, flashlight and ammo now. Just heard this on the 9:30 news.

 

Interesting interesting, that’s good to hear from someone who is also hard on tires. I’m considering the AT3Ws for my next set but I’m also waiting to see what the AT4W looks like.

 

Should move to Maryland. No annual inspection

 

Except my $120 a month full coverage on both vehicles goes to $235 and home insurance goes from $673 to almost a $1000 on a similar home. Already priced it

 

My insurance was cheap in Southern MD. You should move down there. It’s gorgeous. You will love it!

 

Nah, I'm not switching jobs. Not wanting a 2 hour commute to Hagerstown and back...

 

We have vehicle inspections every 2 years here in WV. Lights & tires is all the guy checks, in & out in 10mins, cost $19 bucks. It was annual until recently. No emissions testing tho. I hated sitting in those long lines at the emissions testing facility in Baltimore.

 

I’m not a fan of private emissions testing/inspections. I had to get one in MD and it was a racket.

One thing NJ does right (there are not many) is DMV run inspection stations. They are free. If you you go at an off time, you’re in and out in a few minutes. All they do is plug in the OBDII scanner.

 

Regarding the emissions thing, this just came out about a week ago...not sure where it stands, but does appear those of us with newer cars will not have to go every two years. Or at least this is where we appear to be heading.

I’m annoyed so many manufactures are outsourcing. Supposedly toyos are made on this continent still.

but, AT4s you say?!

 

My Falken AT3s are Japanese. I guess I can't complain there

 

I recently learned that Yokohama has a plant in Virginia that employs like 750 people. They also have the best customer service I’ve ever experienced from any company in my lifetime. Not an exaggeration.

Yep! I saw a rumor that they were producing the AT4W already so I emailed Falken the other week and got this response:

 

I wonder if that means the AT3w gets discontinued and becomes cheaper
