The SR thread, let's see them!

And for those who say "how is this a scam"??

Listen up.... I initially went to 3 places on my own to see what it was gonna cost for me to fix.
1. A guy here in town who does good work $4200
2. Toyota $2600
3. Caliber collision Blackwood $2200

The at fault drives insurance company sent me to....... guess....................................... Caliber Collision Glassboro (apparently the insurance companies own these repair facilities as there seems to be a Caliber Collision in every town).
Somehow the 2 Caliber Collision centers that were 4.8 miles apart had significantly different appraisals of the damage. I fought with the at fault drivers insurance company and said THIS IS ON YOUR LIST OF APPROVED REPAIR FACILITIES...YOU HAVE TO TAKE MY ESTIMATE... They said they would not honor it. If I wanted a payment made out to me directly that was not negotiable.

 

Caliber is a joke. I had some minor scratches on my truck when I picked it up from Carvana and they told me to go to a Caliber to fix it, after 2 weeks of not getting anywhere Carvana just told me to take it anywhere I wanted , it was fixed in 3 days. Caliber has zero customer service and their work sucks

 

I didn't want anything repainted if I could avoid it.... the local guy would have done a good job... his shop was wide open for customers to view his work. He was also the most expensive, I would have taken it to him and had insurance pay close to 5Grand if I was worried about quality. Based on what I saw Caliber looked to be crap -- they were painting panels outside... no booth...

 

New gums! Finally decided to ditch the stock donuts, gonna miss the mpgs (22.5-24) but didn’t trust them on all the gravel roads I drive on.

Yokohama Geolander G015 265/75/16. So what do I do….drove straight from the tire shop to the dirt to see how they handle. Had them on my old truck, yep these will work.

 

I had a set of these on my first gen. They were pretty light.. I had the SL version tho. Shouldn't see too big of a hit. You can probably kiss 24mpg goodbye. Looks good

 

Only 10 lbs heavier than the Firestone Destinations that came off. These are the SL’s. In the gravel a bunch, but not quite enough to warrant E’s. Trying to find a good balance between a daily and weekend warrior escapades. Yep, 24 is going to be downhill with a tailwind in neutral if I am lucky.

Thanks, yeah fills the wheel arches a little better now. Stockers weren’t bad, but didn’t like the looks of them…have that skipped leg day appearance to them.

 

Your Truck looks great!

Trying to do the same with my truck regarding MPG's, off and on road use. Went with the Toyo Open Country AT3's. Don't miss the stock Firestone Destinations other than pure freeway driving. I took a roughly 1 MPG hit with one size larger than stock P metric Toyo's. Love the looks and great for the light off roading I do.

 

Canadians consider everything "light offroading"

 

we have an ABRA that turned into a Caliber collision. On a previous vehicle, They forgot foam pieces in my trunk, missed clips on the wheel well attachment and the cherry on top was when i sat on the back of my bumper the tow access port popped out and it was glued to the bumper. If "half assed" wasnt their motto I would be happy to assign it to them.

 

Thanks! Look at Toyo’s and Nitto’s settled on the Yoko’s. Plus it is a bit of a nostalgia thing for me.



Have run just about every type of design over the years, HWYs to full on Muds, muds look the best but if I am honest with myself the truck spends most of the time commuting. Even some of the ATs are too aggressive, buddy of mine was trying to talk me into Goodyear Duratraks…just a bit too much for what I do. these Yoko’s seem to be in the middle of a Hwy and an AT.

 

Got a 2019 SR about two weeks ago (coming from a subaru crosstrek)

Installed running boards, black rims, black exhaust tip, some interior accessories.

More mods to do..

• Wanting to change the headlight out for the OEM LEDS but waiting for @Puppypunter to restock the wiring harness.

• install the 2017 OEM LED Ridge Industries fog lights

• Swap tail lights

• Diamond Back Bed cover

 

Looks good.
Do you think front tires would rub if there were mud flaps installed? Can't tell how much of a gap is there in the front when looking at the picture.

 

I installed a dash cam from Fitcamx this weekend. It's perfect for those of us with the SR since we don't have the power mirror most people tap into.

Anyone know the largest size tire we can run on the stock SR steelies with stock suspension?

 

What running boards are these? Trying to gauge the difference between 4 in. and 5 in...

 

Anyone interested in some bed corner tiedowns:

Any SR folks ever installed a backup/front anytime camera kit. I hate to buy and install NON-OEM equipment... ESPECIALLY when its electrical, but much like the grille lights, this mod seems pretty plug and play. No cutting, no splicing, just some terminal/RCA connections and cable management. Maybe a bit of soldering which is easy. I'm looking at this product as it looks like the 2020 and above have a different kit than the 2016-2019.

There are different companies that make similar kits, just trying to get some feedback from SR owners with first hand experience. I'd like to do this, but I really dont want to mess with the stock electrical system. Or do I just go OEM?

Any help would be appreciated
