2021 Great North Woods - Fall Date TBD

I am keeping my eyes out for an extra rim, I have the tire to put on it so I can have second spare for my next trip.

 

I have my old set of TRD rims, with the stock sizes on them... but keeping an eye out for a 17 steelie, or cheap chevy 6 lug rim to keep as a spare or two.

 

I'll want to rotate in my spare(s) so I'll probably need to find someone who buys a 20 OR and is selling their wheel set.

Anyone know if we can do 6 tpms sensors and what would happen if one of those is left in the garage? I know I've read we can do 5. I'll probably have to start playing around with that.

 

they have to be programmed to the vehicle each time... including when you rotate your tires.. as each tire position is programmed in. the TPMS programmers arent cheap either... like $150-400 depending on what you get, and its capabilities.. heres a decent one.. $138

Hence the 2nd name " The ArcticElf, AKA Two Tires. "

 

Also because I used both of them a few times...

 

I do believe if I recall correctly I did borrow one of yours at one point as well .

 

I wanted to put this out to this Thread that next Saturday Feb 8th around 11:00ish there are a few of us Tacoma guys meeting up at Lord Hobo Brewing Company for a beer and talk. If anyone is interested please feel free to stop by and say hello. the address for Lord Hobo is 5 Draper St, Woburn, MA 01801

 

Remind me.

 

I loaned mine out to Skell at AOAA after tearing the sidewall on his spare. Might have convinced him that 33's look good on his truck in the process.

 

love to, but a bit far for a few drinks.. and this is a typical work day for me.

 

I have my factory OR take offs.. I've got 265/75/16 Wildpeaks on them, but no tpms.. Also have the stock Wrangler tires that came on it.. including spare. Taking up space, PM me if you're interested!

 

Do you have OEM tpms forsale?

 

the universal ones from town fair tire work with my 2016...

 

Scott- thank you

 

after they programmed them for the truck it took a day or two (I only drive short trips 10 miles back and forth to work) for the tpms to register on the cluster, but the PSI's report and update pretty quickly, they were able to tell when I aired down for a recent trip, and when i dropped street pressures from 38 to 33PSI easily. although I think I'll drop it a little bit mroe after a chalk test.. still a bit too bouncy on the roads for me...

 

I'm running stock at 30 ish psi, did you notice any mpg gain running it higher pressure?

 

its winter time so MPG's go down anyways.. my average MPG's are around 16MPG now.. mostly because of my heavy right foot. but on stock size I was getting 18-19MPG.. I'm probably going to drop to 30PSI, and do a chaulk test.. just rides too bouncy on these pothole stricken roads.

 

Yeah I still get 19psi. Running 33psi on duratracs.


Fuel economy is a good mix between minding the foot, but also momentum management.

 

Yeah, I am getting closer to 17 but it's new and winter so whatever. Didn't buy it for the mpg just curious.
