So...you going with the GB or still buying mine?

 

I'm getting yours. The one from the GB I'm thinking of getting is the 10" light bar to put in the hood scoop.

 

Where's the best place to get tpms sensors and installed? Cheaper the better

 

it feels like forever since I've been in here

Helloooooo from the other sideeeeeeeeee

 

Whoa Pineapple is back.

 

Is anyone taking advantage of the 20% off sale at SOS Concepts? I wouldn't mind sharing some shipping costs.

 

I believe I tried ordering a bumper from SOS. They would not ship to Hawaii. It was at least a year ago though

 

Same here. I wanted the sliders from them cause they offered the removable steps, but yeah, wouldn't ship to Hawaii. I thought there was one guy that recently ordered from SOS and had it shipped though.

 

Got my inspection appointment at waipahu toyota tomorrow for the leaf spring recall. My taco is a 2005 trd offroad 4x4. Do u guys know if ill get new leafs or is it just a waste of time? Anything I should be aware about for this recall? Thanks.

 

Might just be me. I got their rock sliders a year ago.

 

Idk if it helps, but my dad got a new leaf pack.

 

2 more cmcs done... Who else got that work?

 

Still waiting for all my stuff

 

Thanks again @hacklerjason for the Cmc job earlyier today! Great work!

 

Anybody got 4 16" rims with backspacing to clear 285/75s?

I just put brandnew spidertrax 1.25 spacers on and sheared a lug during install. Think this was an omen not to use spacers. 3 brand new spidertrax spacers for sale $125.

 

Did you ever get safety? Didn't see your results.

 

Happy Birthday

 

I got some 17's...lol

 

I personally don't see anything wrong with properly installed spacers. I think as long as they are from reputable brands like spidertrax and Bora and installed correctly, you shouldn't have a problem. Over 1.5" thick is pushing it, though. I think most people with horror stories either - over torque the studs and snap them, under torque them ( or don't go back to re-check them after specified mileage)
I don't even use the Loctite, mine have anti seize on them and get re-torqued with every tire rotation.

 

Yeah I did more research after snapping a lug, so I put 2 on the front and will get a new spacer to do the rears.

Question though, setting my torque to 85lbs then getting the nuts snug by hand, seemed like very little effort to get them torqued down. Maybe a 1/4 turn before the wrench clicked. Is that normal?
