I have to go out for paint for my rear bumper anyway..it was that or Clorox wipes

 

Dang it.. The moment you went through all that and found a hiding roll of TP... Mother lover!

So I found 35" Maxxis Trepadors for 268 a tire. Helluva deal.

 

It seemed nice enough out to go doorless

 

Want

 

The Radials though, not the Bias competition style with those beautiful sidewalls.

 

Boooo. I'll keep my cheapy radials for a few more sets..

 

I just want to share my .02 about torque. It looks like the lug torque spec for the Tacoma is 83-85 ft lbs. This spec gives the proper bolt stretch for the stud regardless of whether you are attaching a rim or a spacer. Now, if you add something like anti-seize or loctite to the studs, you are lubricating the threads. What this does is give you the same bolt stretch with less torque. It is generally about 25% less torque than the dry spec. So that puts the lug torque around 65 ft lbs with a lubricant. Torquing a lug to 100 ft lbs with a lubricant is like dry torquing them to 130 ft lbs which is greatly over stretching the stud.

But when torquing any fastener, it is best to look up the manufacturers torque spec. They will usually give a dry and lubricated spec.

 

Interesting post.
