Calamity tacos build thread that was for a tacoma but now is for a ford! crazy times we are in!

That's our guess as well.

 

shoulda bought a 5.7 tundra lol

if that breaks, then we know you are the problem.

 

Nah Ecobeast FTW! Even if it's the baby motor!

 

I would have if I liked them... It's just not that comfy of a truck and couldn't like the interior at all...

At this point I feel like I'm cursed man

 

I’m glad yours is comfortable while you wait for the tow truck

 

There is loads out there driving around... I'm hopeful it's just a sensor and then it will be fine.

 

Took my Tundy on a nice road trip this year. Towed the 4k camper, family and pets. To Madison, WI and back. Think it was 12 ish hrs. Truck didn’t blink. 175k on the clock too.

 

Just cause I know I’ve seen you here, happy birthday @Shellshock

dont post anymore since i dont really have a reason to post? but got my truck back all fixed up and just threw the spacer leveling kit i had on the truck and it looks good. its only a place holder for next year for when i put on coils. atm having an issue at looking at tires.. im looking at any c1 load range all terrain tire i was dead set on wildepak at4w until i started looking into them more. not saying they are not great tires im sure they are... but they are now 10lbs heavier then other tires in this category plus louder then the rest of the other tires also they dont last as long.... the one good thing ive heard is they do better in snow.

atm im between these tires all in the 285/70/17 flavor

bgf k03s-1,248, pros-longer life not as loud and lighter, cons-not as good in snow

wildpeak at4w-1,132, pros-better in snow and wet situations looks cool, cons- louder, heavier by 10lbs, dont last as long

toyo atIII-1,248, pros- good in snow and rain, good offroad, good as a daily tire and not heavy, cons- ive ran these before in 34 flavor and they failed in 4k miles and were so god damn loud i couldnt hear a passenger in my truck at 35mph...

toyo open country-1,296- havent read much on these just yet for pros or cons only thing i know is its the same weight as the ko3s and atIIIs at 56lbs

nitto ridegrappler-1,240- never ran these i know friends that have and have loved them but dont know much about them minus weigh being at 58lbs so the second heaviest tire on the list.


oh ya also finished the driveway/rockgarden thingy

 

No reason?

On the tire front, I hear really good things about the Nokian Outpost nAT tires. Made in the USA, if that matters to you. Hard to find though, and IDK if they come in that size. Here's a thread from Tundras.com and the guy gives updates over time on them. Might be worth a look, especially because he says they've been very quiet.

 

kinda ya... i use to spend a lot of time on here and i took a break for awhile and it was nice didnt go on really any socials.. ill still post in the bike thread once and awhile for the bolt and klx but idk how much ill keep this thread active since i dont really see a reason to?

ive never heard of those ill have to look into it. also the made in usa has never mattered to me lol it interested but eh lol

also that link just takes me to the tundra forum lol

 

Oops! I typed the site but forgot to paste the link! https://www.tundras.com/threads/discount-tire-price-match-nokian-outpost-at.121259/

I've already worked six 12 hour days and I've still gotta work 'til Friday. My brain is shot.

 

haha all good man! you havent had any time off?

 

My normal schedule is a 7 days on 7 off, working 12 hour shifts. I picked up extra shifts to cover a coworker's vacation request. In a normal week today would be my Friday, but I work Wed, Thurs, and Fri as well this time.

 

oooh i gotcha that sounds awful lol

 

reading into those tires and they seem actually really good im trying to find the weight of them but havent found it yet but everything else seems good
