1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

555 is pronounced "ha ha ha" in Thai

 

My Dad was doing consulting work for a local car dealer and let me tag along on the free flight, I took the opportunity to borrow a loaner from the dealership and tool around the area.

 

Sucks looking for a nice set of wheels out here.

SCS is only 3 hours away, but useless since they're always out of stock.

Decent pre-owned wheels nowhere to be found near me.

 

5g4r take offs are always cheap and look good

But correct me if I'm wrong your married to 16s because of your tires?

 

Stock wheels be rocking that awful offset and skinny rim profile

 

Don't like any of the newer generations offerings.

Yes to 16s as several of us just bought new tires a month and a half ago @xtremewlr @eon_blue

 

Yeah I'm not liking the offset, though I like the skinny profile since I'm on skinnies anyway.

 

I can't do skinnies anymore, ran em for a long time. But the difference in ride quality as the tire gets wider and the traction received is just totally worth the extra clearancing.

 

I’m having an awful case of the Monday’s

 

It's Thursday my dude

 

First day back to work/school after an accidental long weekend

 

I went from 235/85/16 on the Tacoma to 255/85/16 on the 4R so for me, I did go a bit "wider"

 

Go to 33x10.5x15 next for that extra .5

 

STMaxx are a wide skinny tire, I should do a side by side pic of my STMaxx vs the regular Cooper Adventurer spare I have...both the same size (255s) but the STMaxx is noticeably wider, probably by at least an inch. Kind of weird but I guess there are differences like that across all makes/models of tires of the same size

 

That's no way to talk to a lady

 

Yeah, it's actually kind of infuriating, my Taco and Cruiser are both currently running 285/75/16 tires but the width on the Coopers is noticeably more. Still pumped to go up to 315s though

 

Lol you getting me some tires and wheels?

 

Did you just assume my 4R-that-identifies-as-a-Tacoma's-gender?

 

I know you're goin to build up a 4R; don't be afraid to go with a similar length bump stop on the axle like I did.

The Durobump stops compress quite a bit and have given me a stupidly-soft landing anytime my suspension would compress or I'd drive off something steep -
