MARYLAND TACOMAS

$4 but $10 for shipping and it won't let me check out with just the $4 parts says it doesn't meet the min order amount...

 

I just use these.. They work great. My toolbox is held in with them, and I've got two more with 3/8" eye bolts that I use for tie downs.

3/8" extruded speed nuts. Got them for $1.10 a pop from True Value. Probably even cheaper if you buy a box directly from Hillman.

 

I'm getting new tires in a few months and trying to decide between BFG km2s and nitto trail grapplers. I'm leaning towards the km2s any experience or advice would be appreciated!

 

Nittos...

I had the terra's in 295/75r16 and now have the trail grappler in 35x12.5x17
They are heavy duty and wear very well.
I just bought a matching 5th as a spare today. Pretty expensive in this size but they'll last.

 

x2 I went from the terra grapplers to trail grapples and have loved both, would go with them both again in a heart beat.

 

I've got Homers old Terra's and the tread is almost the same as a 2 month old pair on a buddy's 150. About how many miles did you put on these Homer? I haven't gotten to wheel them a whole lot yet but they impressed me in the little bit of mud I found.

 

I would go with 285/75/16 for size and thanks man that helps!

 

Thanks man! Trail Grapplers may be the next tire!

 

Little ol me.....content with mt LT245/75R16 Hankook dynapro ATMs

 

I would be content with your mpg

TAKE MY MONEY

 

You absolutely would not. I drove like an absolute asshole on my last set of tires and am 5x more conservative now with these babies. The mpg needle is starting to creeeeeep up. Still no where it should be though.

This summer i'll be going for the best i can do. I'll be doing my brakes with in the next week or so(EBC stage 5 ), and i'll be servicing my diffs, tranny, and tcase which will all be switched to synthetic. Those two things should really help. My brakes are so shitty right now, i've been downshifting/engine braking for like the last 5k miles lol.

At some point i'd also like to switch to a lighter wheel. The one i'm looking at is 18lbs....my stock steel wheels are 29lbs. If i went with that lighter wheel, i'd drop 11lbs per corner and thus have less rolling resistance

 

So ridiculous

 

you wont be saying that when you blow a CV on the trail and it's caked in mud and hey your buddy Zak has a freakin power washer and 5 gallon bucket and oh, there's a post over there? sweet! let's clean this MF up. oh AND he has a spare CV for you? what a guy

 

Also FWIW - engo 10000s $425 shipped. Engo PW10000 with synthetic line - 496 shipped... seems like a no brainer

 

Fair enough lol

 

That's it. I'm buying One.

 

me and a few buddies are. if you're interested, PM and i'll tell you the secrets on how to get it with synthetic line and shit

 

this looks interesting to me as a diver, as i can actually wash my shit down when im done... an i can leave the mud where i find it with my truck

 

I would probably make a "Zak is my Hero" sticker and install it on my vehicle.

But i'm not going to be cool enough to wheel for a few years
