x2

sweet looking truck

 

Is that an approved support jack stand?

 

CV axle bushing

 

is that the FJ cruiser badge? Where'd you score it?

 

after seeing your post, i just went a bought two sets of tires for my tacoma and 4runner from discount tire on ebay. I was shocked at the prices.

i got the dynapros for the tacoma

 

haha just wanted to share some money saving for TW members

It's not everday you can buy quality AT tires for less then $500 shipped. I was expecting to buy tires later this year for around $600-$700 plus mounting & balancing, so I couldn't say no to such a sweet deal.

Well, this was the first "mod" I have made to my 2012 Tacoma. Since buying the truck I have felt nekkid without a way to tow things.

Fist part was the Curt 13323 Class III hitch I got off of Amazon for a great price:

While I was there I decided to go with the wiring loom Curt 55513 T-Connector

Step one...pull bumper off. Pretty easy. We then lifted the hitch and lossly bolted it. Two people did make this job go a whole lot easier (as did the three or four beers for the install). Before putting the bumper back on we decided to wire up the loom. I have read here that you need to have spare zip-ties ready. Good thing I listed to people as the kit only came with four zip ties!!

When we went to re-install the bumper it was not fitting quite right. We read the instructions a few more time (one sheet of paper) and realized that the spacers (four of them) were ment to go BETWEEN the bumper mount and the bumper so we pulled the mounts off, put the spacers in and attached the mounts again. Behold! The mounts now lined up with the frame!!

Gently tightening everything we banged the bumper around to line it up with the bottom of the tailgate and then went to town with the tourque wrench.

All and all, a really easy install. Good excuse to drink beers in the garage with friends.

 

any finished pics?

 

Got my ProComp 7032s and Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx (285/70/17) on just before the snow started falling here.

 

I don't need them now but it's tempting to get them for later. Cooper ATP or S/T MAXX

 

Looking good man Still snowing back east huh? It's a miserable 72 deg and sunny over here in Southern California

 

I hear you man. Deals pop up from time to time. I have about 15k-20k left on my OE tires. Feels good to splurge on things you need down the road and it's what you wanted in the first place

 

Thanks, Bro! Yeah, we're hoping this is the last blast but we'll see. I miss San Dog, especially on days like this.
