MARYLAND TACOMAS

Well as someone who has had a wheel come off while driving .I tend to over tighting my lugnuts now and never trust any shop now.

 

I know...you have sport wheels now....but check your owners manual....i'll go get a picture of the lug torque spec out of mine and put it here: i've been told to torque the lugs on trucks with steelies to 113ftlbs

 

Mason how's the weather down there today?

 

We were having a wintery mix in Bowie a while back.

 

I'm in somerset,pa today it's old snowy/sleety. Sucks can't wait to have my truck back hopefully next week!

 

You read that wrong it's 85 ft lbs

113 is the N•m unit

 

Its right side up for me. Hold down your alt key+hold down ctrl and press the up arrow or the down arrow. Genius...

 

Well fuck it....i was told because it has steel wheels, it has to be tighter than the aluminum wheel rating. Not my fualt the damn japanese didn't Americanize the manual on an American spec truck properly. They'll remain at 113ftlbs because that i s what my father told me to put them at, so we both read it wrong. Once again, its anti seized all over, f*ck those spindles...i my shit ain't comin' loose on its own and that is fo sho

 

The weather? Its a joke...like it always is down here. It was rain, then snow, then mix, then little ice balls off and on....now just wind. I need snow....plenty of people i can shovel and plow for for some extra cash....and that extra cash can go towards a light bar that my dumb ass thinks i need...

 

It's kinda crappy up here in pa. What kinda light bar you wanna get

 

OKLEDs has a black Friday sale and i am considering buying a 30' and sitting on it until i decide what to do with it. I'd like to have an Avid Off road light bar over the bumper mount too but that can wait til summer...just brainstorming i may not buy any of it...i'm so indecisive...

 

I got one from a group buy it's not here yet but I'm puttin it in my bumper

 

see, i don't want to cut out that insert down there...

 

Gotcha I've cut apart my grill so wth might as well cut the bumper too

 

The point is, when i move from this tacoma to another one, i can take the avid bar and light and just hook it up to the newer truck. I want every addition to be transferable in an evening...

 

Avid bar is different for a 12 and up

 

I'm staying pre-facelift.

 

NEVER! They look pretty but if i needed four doors and a bed....i'd buy DCLB or just a 4runner with a good cargo mat. I won't have a short box.

 

what kind of grill did u have that u cut up joe? lol

 

All of that and the backup camera are what will make me give up my beautiful blue 08. I'm not looking forward to traction control...f**k that noise.
