    You post like one too

    :eek:

    You also have to remember you're running 32" skinnies on your 16" rims. Don't know if that less of friction plays a role in better gas mileage but SeattleC's rims are 15"... which means he can only get 32x11.5s. Which also means they're probably heavier than your tires too.

    Again, don't know if that means anything but I felt like posting it just in case it caused a great reaction by you :p



    If I ever see ponethousand's or Adam's truck in person there's a very good chance I'll rub on their fenders or frame.

    Yeah but did you calibrate each GPS device to ensure maximum precision, accuracy and repeatability? If not, your calculations are worth as much as the spent toilet paper I just flushed down the crapper.

    I meant lock up as in, permanently engage. There are little pistons that explode when the car meets something head on the lock-lock the seatbelt in place. Making it inoperable until it is replaced.

    ^^^ goddamnit, stop posting pics of your truck. You are single handedly making me want to buy an apex bumper for my truck. :p

    Edit: that first pic makes me want to take the canopy off too...fuck.

    UPDATE GENTLEMEN:

    i cleaned up a few sensors today with no go.. what i did notice, (had my wife get back in the truck and play with my shifter :cool:) i asked her to shift in all 4wd modes. I noticed that the bar(under the truck) that goes from the shifter (and connects to the tranny) isnt moving while she shifts (not sure what to call this bar..lol) it should be moving if she is shifting right??? maybe i should post pics unless you know what im saying

    thanks again for the help

    yeah I am happy with the quality, I had to return the first lock set I got, it was faulty and I snapped both keys!

    haha well shucks, thanks. You really should get the apex from ALL PRO, you wont be disappointed, great deal, no wait time for fabrication, and very well made. I feel yah on the canopy, it looks badass, if there weren't 100 Tacoma's in my town without a shell I would rock it more, but I like to be different!

    I know, I know. With the current group buy (15% off) its a no brainer too.

    I understand the canopy too, if it wasn't for my dogs it would be gone. Ah well.

    Love what you've done with the truck, keep the updates coming I need more inspiration. :cool:

    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.
    Get a full size spare. Espcially if you get a 33. Ben got away with a 31 spare as he was on 32s. A 31 spare with a 33..ain't a good idea.

    35s for me..

    Looks odd from the front though. So skinny haha

    My 265's look pretty fat. Depends if your running stock 7" rims. Mine are 16X8 which make them look pretty good

    I'm taking all advice and thinking about the pros/cons so I do thank you for your advice!

    There's another member that lives really close to me running 33s so I'll probably see what his rig looks like in person and that should give me a better idea...


    Ah gotcha, thank you for the advice!
