What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Please post a follow up review of your Treadwrights. I've always heard good things about them and I'm curious to hear what you think after you get some mileage on them. Good looking tread pattern!

 

x2, very interested to hear a Bobert review of these things.

 

Them there are off road racing slicks

 

Fwiw I had a bad experience with Treadwright. Wouldnt balance for shit (yes followed their instructions, shop I worked with was extremely patient and charged for just 1/4 balance attempts...). Was hard to even find a place that could/would do it. Ended up needing to dispute the charge because TW was so unresponsive. They never bothered to address the dispute, nor pick up or give any instructions as to disposal of tires...

 

I need to get one of those. But mine broke off in a way I can't get the base of the old antenna off without taking my fender off. I just haven't had the motivation to do that yet lol. A damn Nerf football broke the oem antenna off...imagine that.

 

fixed my rear shock mounts...so ill actually have rear shocks again. And ground off all of the rust on the bumper and sliders and touched it up. Maybe it wont look so ghetto after today.

 

I need to do this same thing. My sliders have some major rock rash.

 

Mine don't... because I don't have any yet they're on the list though

 

I need to repaint mine as well. I should probably do some touch up work on my frame too.

 

I just ordered my second set of wardens. The first set has 50K on them right now and probably another 6-10 depending on driving habits.

 

Gotta love the old MTR tread pattern! I'll be sure to write a review. I have a couple buddies that have run them without issue. Between the price point & Black Friday free shipping and the habit of going through a set of tires in a year I figured I would give them a shot.

Plenty of life left! Just need a tire groover haha.

The one negative I've heard is that they can be a royal pain in the rear to balance. Hoping that isn't an issue for me. Also heard TW can have issues with shipping times and not communicating, but so far so good for me. *knock on wood*

Good to hear. How often to you rotate them? Its my understanding they really like to be rotated.

 

So far, it has been the best mount I have ever owned. I barely have to snug the tension screw to hold the phone and it is rock solid. I will be ordering some more for Christmas gifts.

 

For anybody curious how this turned out.

Fluid Filmed the frame today. (just as a little peace of mind, living in CO)






Also Repainted my grill and put new corner light housings in because the tabs on my old ones broke ad they were just rattleing around in there.

 

Wow, the underside of your truck looks brand new. Wish I didn't have sea air and salty, snowy roads

 

Looks like Armour All for metal

 

yeah... it makes the truck look too clean. I need to find some puddles to take it though now.

 

Nice! Im likeing the yota logo.

 

Dang, I need to use some of that fluid film!
