but why buy 2 of something when 1 thing can do the job of both?
- confucius says something like that. circa 1850r.

 

The only correct size is 255/85/16. The Maxx is heavy though.

 

Trend is growing, we got at least 4 on 35s here and couple more going to be on 35s by end of the spring.
That’s 6 Sexy trucks





Giveaway time!

tag my name and say “I WANT IT”
To get this low mileage, highway driven, well taken care and polished bumper end caps and mounts behind them (driver side only with the mounts)

 

It's the tire you want, don't worry about the weight.

 

Just run ST Maxx or Goodyear Duratrac year-round. They're good in snow and off-road. Too bad the Duratrac doesn't come in 255/85-16 or 255/80-17.

 

Tore the bike apart today. Replaced the plugs, ignition coils and found a kink in the fuel line.... She lives to race another day!!! Maybe Friday! This shit is addictive!

 

Anyone seen the Comfort+ accessories installed in a Tacoma yet? The full kit is a brutal $1900.

 

Yeah, for that price I’ll continue freezing my ass... rather buy set of 37s...

 

37s hold lots of air. contained/ trapped air is a fantastic insulator. Insulators isolate both cold and heat.

Quick Maths

 

There would be at least one time where I drive away when it was plugged in

 

It uses the same AC power cord as the Toyota block heater, so there should be a breakaway feature on the plug.

My CTek battery tender came with a nylon bag. I just put the bag on the steering wheel as a reminder whenever I have the battery tender plugged in. It's very necessary as the mind isn't the sharpest early in the morning.

 

Then there is this guy who lives a little farther north, and has the block heater. Does not need it.

I mean sure if its -30C or colder when I get up and I am driving the truck, I go out and plug in the block heater for 30 minutes. Since that is all it needs to get above -20C.

My Dad said I should be smart and have the outside plug on a dedicated breaker in my fuse box. Plug the truck in at night, leave the breaker off. In the morning just flip the breaker. A smart man would have taken his advice. I on the other hand go out in death cold and plug the truck in like a sucker.

I also use an orange extension cord to try and prevent the driving away plugged in problem.

 

Yeah the coldest temp in which I've started my truck was -22C, and the starter didn't seem to struggle. 0W30 oil has its benefits.

 

for those with aftermarket/custom front mud flaps.
what did you go with? what material was used?

the cut up OEM ones i have are doing their job, but there is a bit of a hole that i want to cover up in some way

 

Yes! I'm stoked for the next Ardbeg trip!

 

I literally just went through this. Just received my new AAE rack with a heat treated bar and upgraded rack guides. My rack guide on the driver's side has been loose for a bit now and the passenger inner tie rod is going. My OEM rack is around $1100 and I originally ordered a NAPA reman rack but I've seen some bad things with a couple remans. When it fails I don't want it to be on the track. Currently have way too many plans for my build (on my screen I have a set of 315/75R16s tempting me). Poly bushings for front and rear control arms, trac bar, and body mounts if I go through with the 1" body lift. Rock sliders in there too. Next year is gonna be a blast for sure.

@tacoma16 your rig gonna back up by early next year or are you planing for sooner? how's the front gears?

 

For some reason the listing isn't on Amazon anymore but I purchased the

$84 Motorola Solutions T480 Talkabout Rechargeable Emergency Preparedness Two-Way Radio Single Unit (Red/White)

Motorola Solutions T480 Talkabout Rechargeable Emergency Preparedness Two-Way Radio Single Unit (Red/White). It has a high and low function for boosting signal. Of course as you said it all depends on line of sight but this is advertised at something like 56km max range.

 

No I didn't see that, I just looking up his posts and didn't find it. Thanks for the heads up bud

 

In case

 

thanks for the heads up on the racks. Mines not gone but figured what the hell. Can’t swing it right now though and mines not leaking (this resevoir wasn’t down, so boots just held water).

I’m hoping to make the October run.....essentially, everything with the old diff was gone, was only able to salvage part of the locker. Already got a new housing, diff tube, and parts on order (gears, bearings, locker components). Also have new upper control arms on order (hopefully they get here soon) and I’ll be ordering new shocks soon.....

this weekend the new tie rods are going on with new cam mounts. Shit show...
