Northern KY or Cincinnati trucks???

GUYS. i need some wheels and i'm sure you all know our craigslist around here sucks. i need 17x9 wheels. anyone have any they'd want to get rid of?

 

Floyds Knobs.. just across the bridge from Louisville!

 

i've done work down there! i'll be moving to louisville in jan!

 

No kidding!? Well give me a shout when you get planted. We've got 80 acres of trails and lakes to play around with out here.

 

for sure dude! i'll need some local toyota guys as friends lol

 

Hey All! Its been awhile since I've posted. But here's a quick update.

I went from this:


To this:


And now this!!!:


Very Happy to be back!

 

yay!
okay now, you need a TC LT kit, some 37's, front & rear locker, new gears.. blahblahblah

 

Hey all. I actually just realized there was a "Midwest" thread. I'll leave this hear too.
http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/wh...-feeler-tundra-sport-17-285-70-17-bfg-ko.html

I'll start at the beginning and see if I recognize any of your rigs...

 

I messed up this morning pulling out of driveway. I need rear bumper (mag grey) but can negotiate if offer is appropriate. I only need driver rear taillight, but deal for pair could do if needed.
I have WO front and rear for dbl cab (charcoal/ black w/TRD offroad logo) and Undercover 6' tonneau.
Prefer to buy, but understand may have those who prefer to trade!

 

Congrats!!! Looks good, let the mods begin!

 

Hows the Tundra treating you Neal? Done much towing with it yet?

 

Yea no kidding! I think I'm just going with a OME 3" kit with 32s, and a Powertrax locker. Nothing special, but capable.

Haha buy buy savings, thanks man!

 

i was only joking let us know when you get ready to wheel! i'll def meet up with ya

 

also i think dec 9th we're going to slade/natural bridge if anyone wants to join

 

How tough is that? Stock friendly?

I was actually going to head down there one weekend very soon to do a little backpacking, I've heard about all the wheeling that can be done there but haven't actually seen it in person. Have you heard of Spas Creek Rd or Indian Creek Rd down there? Read they were mild but fun places to wheel. Basically a gravel road that turns to mud and crosses a few creeks.

Some pics here, looks mild sauce.

honestly i wouldn't recommend stock going, i'd say we will be attempting more challenging stuff.
i've been twice though, i think it's my fav place to wheel honestly.

but FTR they have a a wide range for everyone if you know the trails

 

So I saw on your build thread that you had a lockrite or whatever its called. Also saw you broke it, would you recommend it or what? Any issues besides that? Looking into one myself so I'm trying to gather some info on it.

Thanks again!

 

ha i seen my build thread the other day and realized thanks to facebook half the pics don't even work anymore.
i went through 3 of them before i decided just to swap in a trd axle. depends how hard you are on your rig. i drive mine like a buggy, i'm usually pretty rough on it. but it was also a headache having to switch it in and out 3 times. and their customer service since they sold the company last year is garbage. save your money. for $400-600 locally you can find trd axles then just wire the harness yourself. it'll last a lot longer. i think i paid $525 out the door for my axle last year. just look around on car-part.com

 

Tundra is sweet... it has so much power... I towed the boat to get winterized and didn't even know it was back there... Very impressed overall... Can't wait to get it all loaded up with gear/people and head to the lake again... Only downside is that I've been driving a lot lately for my new job and getting only about 14mpg, which really sucks... I have never drive a vehicle as slow as i've driven this one, just to save gas.... But its a monster on the HWY passing, overall very happy with it. And with it being cold lately, the heated seats are awesome! I am very curious tho as to what the new Tacomas will be like when they come out, might be temped to trade.

Are you still looking for something different?

 

Glad to hear that! I was very close to buying one a while back. I am still looking for something. I just got accepted in to the marine mechanic institute so I am trying to find something that I can buy with straight cash. Found a 97 t100 4x4 in mint condition the other day. Been talking to the seller about it so we will see!
