Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

Figures.....I'm on vacation next week.....oh well....

 

Goimg to ks rocks Saturday morning

 

Haven't heard from Katie on whether she got a food sponsor or not.

 

QT 151st and 69 as usual.

 

Either way, we go......

 

I'm going! 100% unless I'm suddenly dying.

 

Maybe you need to come hang more?

 

Hey, you back off my bro...
@jeff b

 

You know how these young whippersnappers are....

 

Driving a POS Grand Am unfortunately.

 

I had a 08 GP myself. lol

 

I had a 99 GA with no power steering, warped dash, broken slider on the sunroof slide, headlight that wouldn't stay in, bumper held on with speaker wire, the list goes on. Was a pile! Sold for $600. I rebuilt it in my buddies yard at 150k. Sold it with 170k.

 

Wrx Sti, buell xb12r, s60r, 2x Volvo 240's(still have em), cbr 1000rr........and some others in there as well.....

 

What Style / Brand of Tire is everyone running for the KC environment? I want to start putting tires on my radar. I was looking at the Goodyear AT/3 since most of driving is hwy and it appears they do well with rain and snow.

 

Good with the snow and little ice we get here? And when I do get to the woods I am sure they would work?

 

Nitto Terra Grapplers are good, and Falken Wildpeaks are good bang for the buck also....

 

Jeez, I had a plethora of problems with mine too. Ended up trading for the Taco.

One that drove me crazy until I finally got it replaced was the turn signal switch. Every time I had my lights on and used the signal to go right, the brights came on. Guess some wires got fuxt and I ended up replacing the whole switch. Greatest day of my life right after, lol.

Catalytic converter ended up having issues and I tried to replace several things to avoid replacing the cat. Code kept coming back and car would stutter when I tried to accelerate on the highway. Got fed up and didn't want to spend more money on this car.

Love the STi.

Speaking of the winter tires, I gotta get me a set too. What's a good cheap set go for in price anyway?

Think my course of action would be.. tires > winch > lift > tires/rims > rear locker (will be awhile before I can accomplish everything)

 

I was thinking Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws but I saw a set of Cooper discoverer s/t maxx's on a tundra I parked next to at work today and they looked pretty nice too. I've heard a lot of chatter on the forums for them as well. Really depends on weight and price for me now. I want something with the aggressive side sipes for grabbing rocks and not chewing up the sidewalls.

Edit: just looked up the price on those. Yikes. Almost $75 more per tire over the Falkens.

 

ST Maxx are nice. But they are stupid heavy......

 

And believe me, on a 3rd gen you want to save every pound you can....
