I'm down

 

I drove from tucson to flagstaff and back the last two days and saw some sweet tacomas along the way (especially in flagstaff).Maybe this is too Sons of Anarchy-ish or fratish, but what if we designed a custom sticker or badge for AZ tacoma owners or got the TW forum owners to make a TW sticker or badge for members to display.

 

I might be down for Sycamore. I would prefer a little earlier, because I work at 4pm.

 

We have tw stickers. And we have tried az tw stickers but seems to always fall thru

 

So I started doing some brain storming on a custom grill for my '13 prerunner. My '13 has the chrome trim around the grill, I wanna color match that white like the rest of the truck. Then I was thinking of mod-ing the grill by replacing the inner structure with black metal mesh. Here's where I don't know if I'm trail blazing or smoking crack, I wanna cut out spots on the grill to mount 2 top end off roading lights spaced equally in side the grill. The light lens surface would be flush with the mess or protruding a little from the mesh. Between the lights I figured I would mount the stock chrome toyota badge but spray or dip the badge white. Here's 2 photos that you gotta mentally combine together to kinda get what I'm trying to do:

I'm not very skilled or educated in this task yet, but I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction or knock some sense into me lol. Thanks

 

Where are the TW stickers? I think TW-AZ or AZ Toyota stickers/decals would catch on if we got a legit design. AZ state flag sticker but replace the star on the flag with a Toyota emblem? Idk maybe I'm just drinking the whiskey too fast.

 

So I just did an in home alignment on my truck to rid myself of the Ricer Camber ! !

Came out alrighty, only adjusted the driver side, and fock does it affect the otherside like you wouldn't believe ! !

At any rate, driver side isperfectly up|down while the passenger has very very slight camber but in the posi as opposed to the nega like it was before . . .

 

Nice! Bet the road manners are much better!!

 

I'm in! Just let me know if you're still going tomorrow

When are you thinking?

 

Shit nvm I think I'm being dragged to a play

 

They're pretty worn. You can check them out when you give me that spare.

 

I will tell you that you will want to air down below 15 with those ATIIs. The 10 ply sidewalls won't budge otherwise. You will continue to be happy with those especially after 15k and youre just barely betting to that 1st lip on the tread. I balanced and rotated mine like clockwork and it is possible to chunk them in the right conditions. It took me over a year but I finally did it.

 

I've actually been pretty surprised with how the ATII's chunk as much as they do.. mine have huge sections missing.. and are wearing like any other tire I have had.. mildly fast.

I may look around for other options when that time comes..

but.. with that said.. they are still my favorite tire as of now.

 

I get so annoyed with co-workers. Ever had to work with one of those guys who works at the speed of snot, you have to rephrase the question 80 times because he never 'gets it' and het gets paid more than you?

 

All Day Every Day

 

Driving or hiking trails?

 

Ya... I'm not able to make anymore either.

Do you have the extremes moose?

I don't, just the LT 31/10.5/15. Its a solid tire for sure. But man I have 6-7kish miles on them and the top lip is almost worn thru mostly. I do have chunks in the rear as well as a solid foot slice through the rear passenger tire. I believe it's from box when I have to use some skinny pedal up rocks. I'm not by any means mad. Love the tire still. I think they use something different from the extremes and LT. Other than that, I must say they are a great tire. Haven't been in mud so I am unaware of how the perform there. Small dirt puddles are nothing. Rain they're great in. Just last night(early morning) I tried to get my back end sliding around. Couldn't without some serious gas and tight corners, and even then it was just the tires slipping. I was in full control the entire time. All in all, I still love them. Will definitely go extreme sizes next time though.

 

LT 285/70/17

 

Anybody here have the Cooper St Maxx? I want those to be my next tire.

 

Ya you don't have the extremes either. I think that might be the difference.
