Northern Virginia Roll Call

see if he'll sell separately?

 

255/85/16 are available. Check out Amazon or Simpletire.com. They are going to run about $234 each.

 

I just picked up a set of 255/85/R16 ST Maxx's for my stock 16" TRD fake lock wheels. Used though.

I just checked Amazon and there are only 2 in stock.

But walmart has them! https://www.walmart.com/ip/Cooper-Discoverer-S-T-Maxx-123Q-Tire-LT255-85R16/47406793

 

Nice man good luck finding them and yeah I stayed with stock rims for now as well. here is your rim info TRD Off-Road Wheels: 16x7, +32 mm offset, 5.25" backspacing, 6x5.5" bolt pattern just fyi you might wanna run a 1.25 spacer with the 255's but 285 you might have some rub and trim to do w/o spacer. It also depends on which UCA you got. 255 run cheaper too

 

Yall gonna have CB's? Maybe we could meet up Sunday up there. How far are you guys planning on going up and around/ whats your route one you get to the open spot

 

Dang $234 for 255 I got one from NTB for like $180 back in November for my full size spare.

 

If I go it will be on Saturday. No CB yet ...

 

Yeah I'm waiting on a full size spare from one of the guys here, who's name is slipping my mind at the moment. Anyone able to help jog my memory?

I believe it was a KM2 so not a matching tire but full size so that works fine by me. That said, if availability is going to be an issue with these ST Maxx's I wonder if it would be prudent to pick one up in case I fatally damage one and I am unable to complete the set.

 

finally! something I have that you dont

Damn. One of the cars had no front end left, not sure where the engine went. Sounds like it may have went into the driver if there was a fatality.

Mine are 17s.

 

$3500.... ugh.... that hurts!!!

but that is soooo sweet looking

ooohh ok. nm. haha


side note: did TW just derp out for like 2 min or was that just met?

 

ok! I reserved a 20' Uhaul for Saturday, Aug 19th and I'm picking it up at 7:00am



I will have the $400 in cash ready for all you bros that volunteered to help!

now I have to pack.... every night.... until then. haha

 

I still have to order my antenna, spring, and coax cable... but I have a portable unit that will work in the meantime... especially since for our group, we'll only likely need a 100 yard range MAX

 

speaking of CB stuff.... I want to conduct a small poll:

what channel do you guys usually run for your CBs? a Coworker and I were having a debate and he said the "universal offroad" channel is 12.... I had never heard that.. I've always thought the offroader channel was 16 (since 4x4 = 16 ) and that's almost exclusively the channel I've always used / heard other groups on....

thoughts???

 

I have no idea, but 16 sounds way cooler.

 

I was like 17 when I first heard about the 16 / 4x4 thing... I still think it's neat. haha

but we all know I like a good pun *see signature for proof*

 

I have heard the 4x4 = 16 thing before but I usually just go with whatever everyone else runs In that area.
