Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Bull bar! Then hang the light bar from that.

 

That may be the solution...

 

If you do go that route, I have some really nice tabs that would weld to round tubing (1.5 - 1.75") that I found while building Dean's rack. Say the word and I'll throw some in the mail. Otherwise, they are likely to go in the steel recycling bucket. I need to get rid of some shit.

Edit: The holes might be 3/8".

 

Some folks choose superior capability over style.

We'll see. If I can figure out some way to get this stuff installed before I head down to Florida I'm going to do so. If not, I will do a mod day in Sullivan and provide many delicious beverages and feed everyone.

 

I like the suv on skinnies look. Has that expeditionary feel to it

 

I'd be down with that!

 

I like these stock wheels.
Seems people are so quick to ditch them.
IMO, they're designed pretty well to keep dirt and mud out.
The valve stem is protected for the most part...

 

Agreed - I kept mine and had them powder coated satin black. The design is good, I just didn't like the two tone finish.

 

Does the powder coating hold up well?
I see those precut vinyl overlays and those just seem like a lot of work for something that will probably get scratched off.

 

Mine has held up well for about 5 years now. I'm sure it depends on the company you use. I think it was $100/wheel.

 

There's definitely no reason to ditch the OEM wheels if you like them. With the 4Runners the OR Wheels are actually very good for off-roading as well. Also sticking with stock offset helps with clearing tires, until you start going with tires that don't fit on the Wheel anymore. How wide are those wheels?

I'm also weird in that I like the 4Runner SR5 Wheels that Dave has. I don't know why so many people ditch them so hastily.


I know this seems a bit ironic since I have two sets of aftermarket wheels.

 

7 inches.

 

That answers my question, Why ditch them so fast.
I think 285 is as wide as you can go?

 

I think most 285s are rated for a 7.5 in wheel, minimum. But a bunch of people on the 4Runner forum use the 7-in wide Pro wheels with 285 and they don't seem to have issues.

 

That’ll void the warranty!

 

Yeah, I know how much we all worry about warranties in here.

 

What's a warranty?

 

It’s a typically useless piece of fancy looking paper.

 

Oh, just like a marriage license.

 

You won the internet today!
