PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

Right now I've got 16-inch aftermarket wheels with Michelins on my truck. The Michelins are a bit worn (but will still pass inspection). Amazingly, I still have the factory 15-inchers sitting in my parents' garage.

I have decided to get a set of rubber-studded snow tires for the rear and some Michelins for the front, and mount them on my factory wheels.

What brand/model do people recommend for factory 5-lug 15-inch wheels?

 

The Bucks County Courthouse employees are ready for the snow!

 

First time I've ever used tire chains. EVER! They work great!

 

Had to pickup a UPS package for my boss, in Horsham! I made it there and back without incident, but it took a hell of a lot longer than I would have liked!

 

You guys most not get a lot of snow

 

Are they dificult to install?

 

Doesn't really bother me much really to be honest. I see it as if someone really wants it then they can get it by having an older friend buy it for them. Seems more like a law to appease oblivious parents to feel better about their lack of parental skills.

I would recommend going with the snow tires on front too. Because stopping and steering are more important to me than just being able to get going. I don't have much experience with snow tires so I can't really recommend any, but I do try to keep my better tires on the front of my vehicles in the winter for stopping and steering.

 

From a little bit different angle...

 

Looks good

 

Holy shit, where have you been? My notifications have been dry these last two weeks.

Edit: I quoted the wrong post, I meant to quote @PennSilverTaco's post.

My right wiper blade snapped off at about 1pm today, when I used the windshield washer while driving at about 35-40 MPH.

Luckily, due to my employee discount at the dealership where I work, I was able to get TWO new wiper blades for $33.90!




This tiny little piece of metal snapped...




New Rain-X wipers!

 

@PennSilverTaco, What about a discount on part #:

$180 48530-A9680 2008-2015 Toyota Tacoma Rear Bilstein Shock Set Kit Genuine OE OEM

48530-A9680. They're the stock Bilstein rear shock absorbers, need two of them.

 

By the time you paid me back for shipping costs, it wouldn't be worth it. Just go to Mexico...

 

Not available anymore, called today...

 

I'm telling you it would not be worth it after shipping costs...

 

It's ok. A Toyota dealer on eBay has 2 for $90 shipped.
