Simple Tire is having a sale

 

You wanna do some crawlin' boy come up here to the land of illegal weed and liquor stores on the highways

Happy Birthday to the forum's resident Pain in the Ass @Noelie84

 

I remember when tires for 16" wheels were cheaper than 17". Seems to be the other way around now.

 

Think I may go this route https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/setup-tpms-sensors-cheaply-using-tis.397820/ It's like 20 bucks to get the reading on what the current ones are and then ill write the codes down then when the new ones come in write down the codes and manually put those in. Not sure what else I can do with the 20 dollar setup from Amazon.

That's where I'm probably ordering my new commuter tires from. ~$1050 for 5 - 285's at that price it would be a crime not to get them...

 

I have two sets with different TPMS and use an Ateq Quickset to swap the sensors.

Welcome! I've been at my winter breaking point since December.

 

I need front brakes soon. Think I'm going with oem rotors (if I need rotors) and ebc greenstuff.

 

Me too - probably going with Centric rotors... but havent decided on pads yet... Hawk...TRD... hmmm

 

I need to do my front brakes also. Pedal feels solid, but the stopping power isn't what it used to be.

 

I hoping I don't need to do rotors but I don't need nothing fancy if I do. Pads are different, I would like a modest upgrade.

 

I could probably get by with out needing new rotors... but might as well do them at the same time.

Definitely looking for a bump in performance from the pads. Dont mind a little dust. Ive had good luck with Hawks on my 510 and my Subarus, so thinking about maybe going that route.

 

how long are drum brakes good for? I have a little over 100k miles and don't know when they were done last

 

Lol I do that kind of crawling when I don't still owe a large chunk of change on the truck....till then I'll keep it easy most likely

Right..."commuter"

 

Depends... I've done mine three times already... Once due to a warped drum, sticking ebrake cable the second time, and now seeping axle seals...

These were swapped out in October before my SC trip. Haven't looked at them since swapping in new ones. Front one is toast and the bottom of the rear was toast but still had decent meat otherwise

 

I don't feel like looking for Manuel, So what the hell is the button that shows below the steering column.


Never, mind I just read it....

 

Thank you guys for being so welcoming ! I'm coming up on 30k miles, what did you guys end up doing at your 30k mile marker ?

 

Get Laid!


EDIT. I apologize for my bad english.
It should have been;

Celebrate your 30k, Go get Laid!

 

We use Wurth sensors. You can program any ID to them so we just copy the IDs of the OEM sensors that way both sets of wheels have the same Ids.

 

I have different codes for each set and use a Chinese version of the Toyota software to reprogram the ECU if I feel like it. I bought my wheels and tires from Discount Tire Direct online and they didn't offer cloned sensors. If they did, I would have gone that route.
