209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

were they all the same size?

 

The 3 sets he has are all 285/75/16, and yes my tires are all the same size......

 

damn I need 17"

 

Yeah I just confirmed it was just that size and price that he got them. He also brought in Nitto Ridge Grappler’s for me to look at, but they were $1050 OTD.

He did just text me and say that he can try to do the best price he can but his cost was so low on that particular size that I got. But might be worth a call

 

Being a "commercial grade" tire might be why they are reported to be so durable. Reminds of the Mastercraft Courser CXT. It's another LT commercial traction tire. Watching a set of 255/80-17s for $737.90 on feeBay. I have Cooper ST Maxx tires; they're running about $900 a set in that size.

 

I got my appointment for 2:00pm to get my tires on. Going with KO’s again but in 285/70/17 this time. Might also add a few turns of preload.

 

New rubbers! I went with 285/70/17. I have to go back for alignment and some preload adjustment next week once I figure out how much weight will be in the rear.

 

Looking good

 

@Uphillshunter did you get put on time out?



JK, but when are we starting on those coilovers?

 

I've already got the coilovers disassembled and the internals soaking in solvent. I'm waiting on the wear bands to arrive. Not sure when those are supposed to be here.

 

@foxrcing07 I also still need to test that compressor and see if it works. If it does, I need to order a few parts for it, and then I also need to figure out what I need to plumb it to the front and rear bumpers.

 

If you want bring it over tomorrow and we'll see what we can figure out with it

 

Headed up to the mountains tomorrow.

 

That looks really good.

 

So... who says Friday the 13th is bad luck?

 

Wow

Probably came up here to pull the wool over our hill billy eyes. What a bunch of yahoos.

 

Ummmm this guy who was riding his bike high and found a car. Almost done with his surgery putting him back together right now

 

Oh man. That terrible

 

Dumb shits are dumb shits... that had nothing to do with bad luck.

 

Got my CMC done by this guy Randy who Daniel Swier recommended as he rebuilt Daniel’s lifted Bronco with a SAS. He is a really cool dude in Manteca, has a personal shop in his back garage area, and literally has like 20 axles lying around. He built the Jeeps on the trailer and dropped a corvette V8 engine in the rear one. He said his speciality is suspension, gears, and SAS.
Pretty much can do anything, used to race the King of Hammers as well. Like I said a cool dude.
