Calling all Virginians (Tidewater area)

Nice hahaha

 

Take that truck over to Merchant's Tire on independence and be done with it. Those guys do my truck all the time... 3 or 4 times a day some weekends and they work with you to get it right. I literally stand there at the machine to talk with them and figure everything out. Highly recommend that shop!

 

Oh foreal
Sweet imma have to try them then
Thanks for the tip

 

Do yourself a favor and just get their 5yr alignments...as many times as you like. I have come in 4 times a day a few times getting coilovers set and swapping stuff. They are great.

No grief over lifts. Let them know the guy with the big ass gray tacoma sent you in...and ask if you can come back while they align it since the other shops have had issues.

 

Ahh ok cool
Do you remember how much the 5yr plan is?

 

I paid $150 IIRC...but I was also in there because one of my guys got in a fight with the manager over an expensive repair and got them both calmed down. I swung in the next day to get an alignment and he offered me the 5 year... I smiled as I confirmed it was unlimited...

 

Took the wifes 4runner out to play in the snow for a bit.

 

I'm gonna need more pics of this T4R... looks freaking sweet!

 

Thanks! Haha it's my wifes dream car. Its a 2001 with toytec adjustable coilovers up front bilstein 5100s with OME springs out back sittin on 255/75 R16 bfg KM2s. Also has 4xinnovations rock sliders. Heres some shots from back in NM.







Would like to eventually get a rear bumper with swingout tire carrier for it and plate bumper for up front.

 

^^ looks good man. love the 3rd gens.

 

Thanks! Its been a great vehicle for us. It was fun getting it out in some snow tonight to see how it did.

 

Saw some Chesapeake people spinnin' around in the JC Penney's parking lot at Greenbrier Mall. The only reason I was there was to take a picture of my truck mall crawlin'

 

After 14 hours of work. Just need to do the intake piping, run the oil feed and add some oil before I can start it up.

 

Looking good Chris. Looks like your FMIC pipe on the left needs a big ass bend...

 

305-70-16 on 16x10? That's a wide tire! I'm looking at mounting the 265/75 x 16 duratracs on Konig countersteer offroad rims (16x8). Having a hard time figuring out how much rub I'll get. Assuming at frame at full lock. Maybe mud flap. Willing to put Bilsteins on if that helps -- but not sure it will. Probably put the Bilstiens at middle clip to get almost an inch of lift, but also not preload the OEM spring too much. Have airbags on the back to help with pulling the trailer. Way too many variables...maybe just go with 265/70 x 16s...

 

All i know is on my old worn out suspension i had 265/70r16 and i actually rubbed my windshield washer resevoir slightly
And tha was a 16x7
You may be better of putting the billstiens on there and setting it to the top or middle notch if your agains new coils

 

If you rubbed it then, you'll rub it now. Lift does not get rid of rubbing.

 

You probably won't have any rub with 265/75x 16s. I'm running that size now on my taco with about 3" of lift and no rub at all. I'm pretty sure I coulda been running this size tire stock with no issues because they look super small with the lift. Really there only 31.6" tall x 10.4" wide. The only place that may come close to touching is your UCA.

 

Ok cool
I just looked up their number online
Hopefully they are better than all of their reviews say
That 2/5 star ratings kinda scaring me

 

You headed there today? I will go over with you.
