< just itching.

 

Anybody know tacovette

 

I am sure you could. If he had an extra TT he needed you to drive with a big boobied girl in a bikini riding shotgun, that was handing you beers (after the drive of course, lol)

Yes, thats me!

 

Hahahaha. Wat do have 2 sceennames now? Hahaha or does that one fit you better

 

Hi Kids (and Doug), how you all doing...? No desert runs? That's okay, this is a family event weekend for me (right after we watch Iron Man 3, that is)...

How about some tire talk?

So, the (P rated) Hankook Dynapro ATMs have almost 30,000 miles on them (265/75-16) and I will be shopping 'soon' as I like more rubber between the steel belts and the road than is left on these otherwise awesome tires.

My ideas are to go with the LT rated, but same tire (they have been great in all weather/ road conditions and highway quiet until most the meat was gone). Sure, 30-35 thousand miles isn't much, but I didn't do better than 35,000 miles with Toyo Open Country AT or Cooper Discoverer ATRs that I had on my '05 Tacoma.

ME: 95% Highway driving (so near 0 noise is desired) and rare mud and snow use, but some (the Hankooks were amazing in mud and snow). Most of my off roading is desert and deep beach sand (in Baja)... Also steep, loose rock filled grades, (again Baja).

The Hankook P rated tires were $140 each two years ago.



If not the LT Hankooks, then I would be willing to try the Falken WildPeak AT (or is it 'Rocky Mountain'?)...



The new Toyo Open Country AT-2 is also a thought...



General Grabber AT-2 as well...


Goodyear Duratrac???


Any feedback

So, price is a consideration (under $200, hopefully), and NO BFG tires, so don't suggest them please. I see that Pep Boys carries both the Hankook and Falkens as well as their Cooper made Dakota AT brand (I used them on my '01 and never got more than 25,000 miles out of them), but they were cheap and replacements were 1/2 off (because of the 50,000 mile guarantee). I will go to where I got my Hankooks in 2011 (Oceanside Tire) and talk with them. Discount Tire along Hwy. 78 in O'side/ Vista area lied to me about the Hankooks availability after they quoted me the best price, that is how I went to O'side Tire and were happy with them.

Thanks for your thoughts San Diego area (and nearby) TW'ers

 

No I just have a vette motor in my Taco, so the name is very fitting, lol.

 

Jason, I need you do take a look at my truck if possible.

It's running weird and raspy at high rpm with sluggish take offs.

Any ideas?

a guy at work has those. 6 months later they're down to about 20% tread left, all highway driving.

 

Gold fingers. Oof. I don't feel like running Into x's / future x's. On the other hand I got my 3rd member today. Aaaaaaawwwwwww yeahhhhhhhhh! Currie case, Currie chromo axles, spool and 4.88's ? ***** please !!!! This rear end is worth more than the rest of the tuck haha. Coilovers next, then new spindles or maybe something from the dark side ..........muaahaahaha

 

Keep it coming guys...

 

My dad is on his 2nd set of Toyo AT's on his second gen. 285's, he loves them and does a lot of commuting to and from work. Gets 45-50k out of a set. They do get used off road a lot in hunting season and they do very well in all different terrains for such a highway friendly tire. The new at-2 seems the be even better. They would get my vote.

 

How old is your muffler? If its old it might be rotted inside and shot. Mine did that same thing a just about a year ago.

 

micah if its this. you may be able to hit up doug for my old bromaster.

Muffler is around a year old, had landon weld it up when my bed cage was built.

Dave got my old one.

 

But on that note, where in SD do you recommend I get a new muffler and piping done?

 

A&A in Poway is really good. Old school, they bend to fit not jus bolt on and prebent elbows. Prices are amazing.

 

Do they have mufflers or do i need to provide my own?

I can get another 18 inch oval magnaflow for $105 shipped 2 day air from summit.
