What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Garmin Mini 2. I'm really liking it so far. It is completely out of my field of vision when behind the wheel.

 

I went and got myself a new Tire today....... I dont belive for a second that a blade somehow flipped up off the road and stuck into my tire like that.

 

I believe it. I’ve seen this before.

 

It might have but im just so pissed because they are like 3 week old tiers lol

 

It make it all the way through?

 

No, But it has to be pretty damn close i would think. I may keep it as a spare but i donno if its worth risking driving on or if it will start splitting.

 

Some prick fuck used to leave screws behind my tires, GTI. Had to put a plug in one, and always looked after that. Like 3 or 4 screws behind each tire at a time. Nowadays I’m glad I never caught the person. It would’ve gotten pretty ugly.

 

That sucks. It lined up with the groove in the tread just right, or wrong from your POV.

A coworker of mine ran over something in the road and ruined a tire. When they pulled the tire off the wheel, they found a 1/2"DIA x 6" long pipe nipple banging around on the inside. I didn't believe him until he showed me piece of pipe.

 

Yeh if i found out someone put that in my tire it was going to get ugly... I have cameras all around my house so when i found the blade combed through all the footage to see if someone around here did it but didnt see anything.

Its a shame you didnt have a pic of that lol

 

That sort of thing goes all over me. Keying someone's car or flatting someone's tires is evil. It's cowardly to boot.

 

Shit one time a 8 inch lag bolt penetrated a tire while I was driving. All of a sudden
I start hearing a repetitive noise and tire thumping. I pulled over and was like WTF

 

I had my suspicions as to whom it was. But when I told one person about it, the reaction that person had made me change my suspect. A very cowardly person by definition. Funny thing is. They might be reading this. So this is what I’ve got for that.

 

What offset are these wheels? Do they rub?

 

Did a retrofit with the OEM toyota headlights. Used dyiode dynamic halos and morimoto mleds.

 

Appreciate that.

 

ok but if you see a car trying to back out do you just ram them?

 

it would be impossible for a person to shove that in the tread, if its not leaking its fine

 

it would have to go through 4 steel belts and it didnt

 

They're 17x8.5 with 0 offset wrapped in 265/70/17 KO2's, and they rub when they're flexed in a turn. Like coming into my driveway is a small ramp and it rubs every time. On the road though I've never had any issues with any turning. Offroad would for sure rub, but I have a lift at home, I just have to find the time to throw it on one weekend

EDIT: I should note that the nose of the truck is dipped down quite a bit from the bumper & winch. I don't think it would be too bad if it weren't for all of the additional weight up there. Currently on stock suspension.

 

Picked up a new camper shell today!
