    A slew of pricey stuff my wife hates me for.
    Mine didn't. Went with a heavy duty clutch and a 30lbs flywheel from LCE. Luckily I had lower gears in the SX, but that truck hated anything under 65mph in 5th.

    yeah they are good tires, but i didnt realize they made certain sizes NOT winter rated... just look into that before you buy, the set that i had that wasnt winter rated sucked in anything other than dry pavement..

    yeah, the 265/65/17s are severe snow rated. the 70s are not. but I cannot imagine much difference, especially since in order get the severe snow symbol the tires have to be tested and they typically only pay to test common OEM sizes.

    well im going to have 3. I will definitely sell the 2012/13, I don't have much use for it lol, just a project I wanted to try out, im going to paint it MGM because no one wants a chrome satoshi and its a popular color. I will have 2 that fit 05-11. one is already MGM but needs to be re painted. I might sell one and I would be willing to paint it a different color, or ill just have two for myself :D in two different styles. but I might build more, it all depends on how my paint job comes out. I know its not going to be perfect with spray cans, but I am pretty confident that I can get a real nice finish if I spend the time on it. I wouldn't want to sell anything that doesn't have a close to perfect finish. or ill just convince my boss to paint them for me and the paint job will probably be better than OEM. he is spraying his sons scuba tank in candy lime green with metal flake, want a grill like that? lol. it would be a $200-$300 paint job probably

    I'll take mall crawler- second photo, left column.

    That was when the thought of off road was totally foreign to me.

    i grew up in NH driving a 97 accord with Blizzaks and never got stuck. i drove 2 winters in the Sierra Nevada mtns and didnt get stuck with the OEM tires on the Tacoma. These General Grabbers can't be worse :)
