New England B.S. Thread

Marked my filter and one on my tires

Not even sure the free oil change is worth it anymore. Usually takes and hour or more, even when i make an appointment a week ahead of time. My cousin has a tire place/shop in the city I work. I would usually drop my car off when he opened and pick it up when ever before I left work. No wasting time. Plus I get the family discount. Might end up doing this next time.

 

I want to know where he found Toyo A/Ts for $125/ea!!

 

why they suck?

 

They should have colluded and screwed you at $49.99

Are they bad?

I think I mid bid on those 17" sport rims. I've kinda been tempted to buy a pair, powder coat them and throw some beater tires on. My uncle has a very used set of BFG A/T's or whatever at 285/65 or 70 I think. Pretty damn big.

$100 for sport 17" rims + free tires + powdercoat job at +$150? not a bad spin

 

It's a crossover sled so its a little long on tight trails but fine on trails more open. It's also a 4 stroke so it should last and be reliable but heavy. Basically it's a compromise sled trying to fit into every category. Not bad. How much is it?

 

I didn't think they were rated bad, aren't they comparable to the Hankook A/Ts?

Either way, it's tough to find A/T truck tires that fit a 17" rim for $125. Usually they're closer to $200.

 

I'm interested in the size... Not listed but I shot him an email.

 

You can get Treadwrights in the $120/tire neighborhood. Never had them myself but people seem to like them.

 

That's why you get 15's more sizes, TRUE 33's and CHEAPPP

 

And won't clear the brake calipers... No thanks. I wouldn't mind going to 16's but I wouldn't want to go with 15's. Too small for my tastes.

 

I think they are asking around $4k, which I think may be a little much for '07 w/ 5000 miles. Supposedly there is nothing wrong with it, they have 4 sleds and want to downsize. I've always wanted something good in deep snow.

 

The last time I brought mine in I done think they rotated the tires also they said they grease the drive shaft but there was no signs of grease

 

Thats a pretty sweet deal. After my free ones, I just started changing it in the driveway and switched over to mobil 1

 

I am pretty happy with 16's. No noticeable difference in the handling, and they are cheaper. Plus I love the FJ wheels

 

My truck came with 16" baja wheels, I sold them and went to 17" TRD Sport wheels. I like the looks of the tire/wheel ratio with 17's. Just personal preference though.

 

Absolutely agree about the wheel/tire ratio. If the FJ trd's came in a 17, I would have preferred those.

I still have the sport wheels in the basement. I didnt sell them because I wasnt sure if I was going to stick with the FJ's long term

 

Yeah I like the 17"s much more but my favorite is a 18" with a back spacing. Take a look at the BBS's I believe KPT still has them . All time favorite truck .

 

I got these for 50.

 

id like some beadlock 15's with 35's . but thats not happening with this truck .

 

I really like my 17s. I was really close to going with some 18" mall crawlers with black and chrome but i am really happy i didn't. I really love the look of bronze wheels but it think it would look weird with mag gray.

Edit: i really used really alot in this post...really.
