Red Letter Grabbers suck

 

Hold out for tire you want

 

But can you flex?

 

A professional detailing shop can make that invisible pretty easily.

X2, doesn't count unless you can stuff it!

 

The rear can flex without issues. The front just needs some hammering. Keep in mind 4runners have a somewhat bigger wheel well and I have a 1" body lift believe it or not.

 

Hello ya'll,

Not a Tacoma but a Corolla that I'm damn proud of.

Flashback to 1991. I graduate High School & my grandfather retires. He buys 2 new Corollas for $18,000 (paid in full) for my grandmother & him. They end up using my grandfathers blue Corolla for their daily use.

2007: my grandpa stops driving & sells his Corolla. My grandmas burgundy Corolla still has original EVERYTHING except tires and battery and at this point it gets light use.

2010: my grandma stops driving and the Corolla is garaged for a while.

2011: (June) I totalled my '07 Saturn Vue 3.5 & with my Insurance money I bought my son his first car. I drove the Corolla until January 2012 and in this time I did a few mods to it.

2012: (January 3) I bought my '08 Tacoma with 32,000 miles. The Corolla gets parked again.

2014: (January) my mom sells her Rav4 to my younger brother & she starts driving the Corolla.

Today as she sits:
* 1991 Corolla DX 1.6 with 3 speed auto,
* Instrument cluster with RPM gauge out of an LE Corolla. Simple bolt-on. I removed the original odometer & re-installed it into the LE instrument cluster so that it can still show its true mileage.
* Door pockets and headrests out of a 1998 Camry.
* 2010 Toyota Yaris steel wheels with chrome trim ring & 1997 Corolla center caps with 195/55r15's. These replaced the original 13" wheels with 175/70r13.
* 1993-1997 Corolla Quick Struts (complete strut assembly) installed today on all 4 corners.

Wheel spacers because the 195/55r15's rub against the strut towers.

 

Good story Pete. Love hearing about people driving anything way past expectations, especially passing it on.

 

it only has 60K on it?!

 

Check with City Tire in Blountstown, FL. They might have them in stock.

Also check with Ryan's Auto Everything in Perry, FL. You could have them installed on the way to Citrus.

 

SOB! I just saw this! I hate seeing shit like this & I've seen it pretty often. Wether it's an envious person or someone you may have an issue with, there is no excuse for that. That's crossing the line.

 

Dang man that happened to me too. Some POS keyed my tailgate

 

Thanks man! This car also has sentimental value to me since it was my grandpas & he was an excellent Role Model for me & pretty much my dad.

Yes. Original mileage.
The DX model doesn't come with an RPM gauge so I swapped in an LE cluster. When I did this I removed the mileage counter from the OE cluster & reinstalled it on the LE cluster in order to reflect the Corollas true mileage.

 

If your in a parking garage there should be security cameras it wouldn't hurt to talk to a guard or attendee about looking through the footage to figure out who did it

 

sucks on the whole key deal. I wonder what would happen if someone witnessed the person doing it and called the cops, an put them on the ground. could the cops do anything about it or is it pretty much ah sucks to be you or will it go on the others insurance?

I have issues with no one so idk must be the haters

d
that sucks too man!

I am almost positive it was done while I was in class Tuesday night at UNF on the second floor garage, they don't have cameras or guards so I am just SOL. I have class again tonight and I honestly am worried about where I should park to not bring the haters out again or upset someone lol damn I am pissed.

 

If someone is caught doing something for sure thier insurance would pay (if they have it) I almost want to go park again tonight and lay in my back seat and wait for someone to try me. However I have never been keyed before so I doubt it would happen twice in one week for me to catch them. It was prob just a random act some asshole did.

 

I need to do that 400W and add an outlet to the cab.

 

it was pretty easy once i read a few pages into the write up about the solid purple wire mess. I didnt know which side to ground out harness or the inverter. Its the inverter

 

So I just picked up a Midland 75-822 CB. Anyone know if they are any good? Wondering If I need to get an antenna (firestick) or if the little one it comes with will be ok. Plan on using it for Citrus. Thanks
