TeraFlex sells wheels with the valve stem sitting in a bung. There's also a built-in deflator with large open-close twist knob. However, the wheels are offered in Jeep bolt patterns only: https://www.quadratec.com/p/teraflex/deluxe-nomad-wheel-titanium-gray-jeep-wrangler-jk-jl

 

I know 2 guys who broke valve stems wheeling. I tore a hole on the inside of my rim in Ardbeg - closest I've come.

 

Anyone taking this?

 

if you want it, go for it! The prinsu is a good price, i was mostly curious on what the replacement rack would be

he's just liquidating it as he no longer needs a roof rack

 

Replacement rack?

 

Oh I've been there when the guys were there, lol
But I was talking to one of the guys to find out where/when I should and shouldn't go.
Cost me a round coffee and a truckload of guys to enjoy a dirt mound crawl with me, but they gave me a basic run-down of the types of areas I could chew up without pissing anyone off.
Once it's graded I stick to the "roads" until I get to the dirt mountains areas.
Especially when you guys had all the trenches open, lol I was paranoid about endin up nose down in a catch basin.
Anyone who goes roaring through there is an idiot.

Yeah the top foot is all clay/sand and organics, unless you got tracks or a Sherpa you're sinking upto your axles if the ground is wet.
Machines have torn up the soil there, so unless your on one of the areas that has been compacted.... only go in when it's dry.

There has to be someone that calls the cops when they see trucks in the fields too.
2nd spring ago, when my truck was still brand new and I had my new Duratracs on,
I took it through those fields and got it all nice and dirty.
Took it over to the coin wash and washed and dried up.
Drove back down the road to see of I could see my tracks in the field..
Cop coming the other way turns around and hits his lights to pull be over...
Says he has a report of a Black truck driving through these fields here...
I just stuck my head out the window and looked up and down the truck, which of course is spotlessly shiny at this point.
"Well officer I don't think you have to take my word for it,
but I think this truck be too shiny for all that mud,
besides I would not want to scratch my paint,
it shows everything". With a big shit-eating grin on my face.
He's grinning, walks around the truck, "yeah nice truck, looks like you just waxed it 5 minutes ago"
"Oh thats ceramic coating, should not have to wax the truck ever again"
He looks under the truck. "nope no mud and grass there, but looks... a little wet" still grinning.
"Oh my truck was in the shade, and I did not take it out yesterday must be from the rain the day before"
"License insurance and registration please" He's still grinning.
Lol I thought someone had got my plate and I was gonna get ticketed and or towed...
He came back and said I checked out, (slight pop is heard as my ass de-puckers)
He asked about the ceramic coating and we chatted about that for a bit.
Point of this rambling is...
He said that anyone driving in those fields not only faces trespassing,
something about if it's in a conservation area is another huge fine on top of that,
but the officer can also lay stunt driving charges depending what you are doing!

I just said "Glad I'm not 18 with a Jeep, geez be facing 20 years. Glad I'm an old guy with a sloooow truck" Big grin.
He laughed and said " Nice truck,keep it clean!"

 

i figured he'd be getting another rack, but apparently that is not the case

 

Those are fooking sweeeeeeet! Easy to clean mud out of too, too many aftermarket rims are mud traps and a bitch to clean, why I went with 2nd get rims.

HAVE to have onboard air though, titsmacks would be airing down your tires when you are parked some place.

Another reason why I didn't buy a Jeep, waaay to much cool shit for them. I'd spend twice as much as a new Jeep on aftermarket stuff and still not be done!

If they made those rims for the Tacoma I'd be on them like ugly on an ape.

 

Oh I see you talked to him?

Totally forgot about that!!

 

Got 'er done. Went with camera Podofo P/N A2157CA



Put some 1/4" split loom (Spectre P/N 29511) on the wire for an OEM look. While in the area, used some 3/8" split loom (

Gardner Bender FLX-538C10 Flex Split Loom Combo Pack, 3/8 & 1/2", foot, Black, ½ -⅜ Inch x 10 Ft, 4 Count

Gardner Bender P/N FLX-538C10) to clean up the CTek battery tender wires. Picture also shows the Energy Suspension radiator support bushings I installed in August.



The camera wi-fi has good range:

 

I put my Energy Suspension radiator support bushings upside down, as advised in another thread. With the large part at the top. Gives more gap for the ARB bumper at the fender. I went from 17mm to 25mm gap with just the bushings replaced.

That camera seems to have a nice wide angle, sweet setup!

*Edit*
Now that I think about it, when I installed those bushings, was the last time I was able to unlatch my hood by myself. That 1cm change in the rad, removed the tension on the hood from the latch. I now have to have someone pull the latch inside while I put upward pressure on the hood. Thank you Dax for making me realize this is what it was. I think I just need some larger rubber pieces for the hood to rest on.....

 

The stops for the hood are adjustable right? Try unscrewing them a few turns?

 

Good plan, I will check it out next time I go to the shop.

 

Huh, they make big 'Yotas right here in Ontario!
