Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Have a great trip!

 

Safe travels dude and enjoy some R&R!

 

Thank you!

Last night kinda sucked. I had strong headwinds and managed 12.3 MPG on the first tank, not much better on the second. Things are getting better today. I'm getting into the mountains in Tennessee, and just sat down for what I expect to be a good lunch!

 

Got the truck back from the alignment. I have about 40 miles on this since the suspension change. So many changes at once it is hard to know what is better or worse yet; but, I do know the steering is different. Much more effort. Weird. Looks good though. Kind of gangly with the 33's... definitely time for 35's.

 

Ordered some 35's this morning

 

Skip the 35's and just go for 37's

 

You're giving me 'lil tire syndrome.

 

37's? You're not helping, Dan.

 

I have no plans to go bigger than my 33s.
But I enjoy encouraging others to spend money. Just like others ( unnamed WI members ) have encouraging me.

 

So, what did you order?
What are your plans for your 33's ?
Your 33's,,,miles? Tread depth? Load range?

 

or better yet just go straight to 40s

 

I hear 50s will fit with only minor cutting

 

you can reduce the cutting required with the proper offset of +24"

 

But does the cutting come with tastey rust flakes? That could be a positive

 

Ordered Kenda Klever RT 35x10.5R17

Once I get the new tires on I'll be putting my old tires up for sale. They are Kenda Klever RT 33x10.5R17 load range E and have 15,185 miles on them. Not sure on tred depth, I don't have a guage. But there's lots of life left. They have been my favorite tire so far.

 

So you mentioned getting a locker on order. What'd you all get? Gears also? Front locker?

 

Harrop E Locker for the rear. Decided to leave the front alone. Stayed with 3.73 ratio. I really never noticed a difference going from stock tire to 255/75/17 than to 285/70/17
When I called ECGS the guy said lead time is out to 3.5 weeks.

 

Are you keeping the Ray10s?

 

Dibs.

 

Yes, for now.
