    I actually amazingly got 18 hwy this last weekend ha no idea how tho.

    but i get 10 intown. you shouldn't see a huge hit since your on 16s you'd be getting 285/75s which are just taller not super wide so wouldn't take a huge hit. You wont HAVE to regear. always a nice option tho..

    "nice option" with my luck means "Will become necessity"

    like my vibes since I didnt get UCA's yet
    and my exhaust reroute
    and my shitty driveline angle that somehow now vibes more with the CB drop ( :( )


    but SO MUCH WANT. SO MUCH!!

    I just gotta switch from these km2's. Love em on the rocks, but as my DD tire they leave much to be desired in the rain.
    I was going backwards on a paved hill today :(

    Cause you shitty spacers give 2.5'' of lift if that. Thus no vibes. Cody has Eibach coils and Expos..3+'' front lift and 4+" rear lift.

    Odd you need UCAs? you have alignment issues??

    maybe get some angle shims too? seemed to help my drive line angle a lot as did the CB drop..i never have had vibes tho and still don't. :eek:

    and the KM2s that bad in the rain huh? course i guess your rain is like flooding compared to out here haha

    I think to get the CB drop to work, I'd need to get my shackles on
    to do that I need to get my exhaust rerouted
    to do that I want to get a magnaflow
    to do that I need money
    to do that I need time, and I leave home (and the truck) in 10 days


    man. life sucks

    also, FU DB :brianr: 3.5" up front and unloaded expos....what did I expect, I guess :rain:

    I had to put it in 4wd to get up the hill in the downpour.
    The dodge neon behind me overtook me

    Vehicle:
    '09 Tacoma SR5, '14 Forester Touring
    MY98 - 33" BFG ATs, Bilstein 5100 shocks & struts, Firestone rear air-bag kit, Hawk LTS pads, Brembo rotors, 350k+ miles, frame patched together with snot, wood chips and man glitter. MY14 Forester - Who really cares. It runs, has an amazing audio system, but the engine is basically a 2-stroke.
    305k service, including lubricating the driveshaft.

    Also, my Sirius tuner stopped working in both my truck and at work. I took it apart and the power button is intact, so I think it's shot. I'm going to bake the chip in the oven to soften the solder before I commit to replacing it.

    On an unrelated note, what's the general consensus on K&N air filters?
