Northern Virginia Roll Call

@Coot83 Moonroofs are standard on the Tacoma Limited and available as an option on the Sport. I believe they tilt but don't open all the way like a sunroof. I could be wrong though. I'll be going by the Miller Toyota to do some "window shopping"

 

Oh yea that's right I remember the first gens had those on their xtended cab ones. Im still thinking of getting one installed on my taco.

Yeah, I think my uncle's 98 had one. I want a sunroof installed too but everyone says they will always leak! So maybe one day I won't care and just get it done but I've been holding off for now. Also some have a rust problem. There has to be ways of sealing it well.

Guy in another thread had it done for about $1,000 and report no leaks. Others on the thread mentioned there's ones where the glass will slide OVER the roof instead of inside. Google 2000 Dodge Neon Sunroof. I don't if they meant that will help eliminate leaks or what. I'll be doing some research. I'm going to makes some calls to shops in the DMV area.

I actually found a place that does it for about $1200 called sure-fit. They said the glass slides inside and is a pretty standard template. They told me on the phone that they havn't had any issues with leaks in the past few years (8-10), granted that's what they tell me. Im thinking eventually I will commit as I miss the sunroof I had on my 4runner.

on avereage around 7/32 if that helps and price is negotiable

 

these are aluminum wheels also nice and fairly light

 

So now that we have a few more people, when's the next meet?

 

@Casper66 what are the new tires?

 

The tires are cooper stmaxx

 

Ok, who's got a tire shop nearby that isn't a total B.O.H.I.C.A(bend over here it comes) on prices, just got my quote from my buddies garage for $1k for Hercules tera trace. Boo that. Prob looking at Cooper, but price will be a big factor.
Thanks in advance.

 

Order online. Try 4wheelparts.com or just drive down on a weekend to Richmond to their shop

 

this is my current search for cooper.. best price Ive found so far

Don't buy your tires from a shop. Order them online then take to a shop to mount and balance. Period. If you buy tires from a shop they are going to bend you over, even if it is a relative that owns it. They have high overhead and have to make up for it somehow.

 

Damit I was just in Richmond, didn't know they had a shop there. Good to know.

 

I think these are the ones I just found.

 

I havent looked in a while. Im going to stick it out with my current tires. But if I tear any more sidewalls, Ill be buying the ST Maxx's one by one

 

I realize that maybe I wanted those 1st gen wheels now.. And all the ones locally are too much $.. shoulda kept what I had. Story of my life

 

Well you had a great deal on them and then passed them on, sometimes you don't know what you have until it's gone... I tried to let you know but sometimes good advice goes unheard.

 

do I have any standing good advice or good deals from you? like CMC?

 

Perhaps... just have to see what scheduling says.
