Northern Virginia Roll Call

Well we are officially moved. Spent all day loading and unloading a uhaul. Still have a run or two with my utility trailer to get the rest and a lot of boxes to unpack, but glad to have the big part behind us. Looking forward to the next chapter in wild and wonderful WV!

 

The potential major downside is rubbing so bad you damage something, but it’s unlikely that’ll be the case with the skinner tires.

 

I bought them from Walmart for $206 a pop, and I was mad because I shoulda grabbed them at $190 lol

4runner, so kinda similarish, but maybe more to 2nd gens: I have SPCs with them set to E, so low caster but pushed forward. Also LCAs pushed all the way forward. No spacers +15 wheels. My plastic fender liners are hacked a bit, trimmed the front bumper cover, and beat the pinch weld. I have my body mounts untouched and they don't rub on a bench test with the shocks pulled.

Rubs the little on the doubled up part of frame, rear of where the LCAs mount, at like 1/16 of a turn away from full lock

I'm also rubbing the wiper tank on mid to full stuff left turns, which I've been putting off relocating until I can use most of it up so I don't spill it everywhere.

 

accelerates like wiener and city mpg sucks. Other than that, I've been dailying it no problemo for the past 2k miles

edit: I misinterpreted the question whoopsie. Like randy said, if it breaks anything or rubs enough that it significantly reduces turning ability, then that wouldn't be good. I put them on, then immidietly trimmed afterwards. Took me like 4hrs total to pull both front shocks and cut/hammer everything

 

Should clear my JBA UCAs since they’d be narrower. I’m assuming the worst on everything else tho. Dang 206! What a deal man

 

Y'all got any go-to Tacoma shops in or around Alexandria? TIA

 

What are you looking to get done?

 

Initial evaluation, as I just got this Taco. PM's. Wheels/tires. slider's/bumpers. the usual suspects...
easier to do it during the day nearer to work

 

Let's get beers soon!

may be easier to just have a mod day and get a bunch of guys to knock it all out in a day haha

 

That's a bummer. Any idea who bought them? Another off-road company?

 

No clue but that's my bet. I don't think he could say anything more about the who or the why (from the buyer's perspective).

 

Same and ditto

 

I saw a lisence plate that I want a variation of today:

I HT RT 7

Cut off and almost hit again this morning on the way to work. Gave serious consideration to letting it happen as I hit the brake and the language took a turn towards that of a sailor.

Unfortunately working from home is not an option.

$1400. I'll stick with my fan.

 

discount tire will price match even if they are not on the website they can get them in store.

 

Ditto. Until I can't.

 

This is tempting.

 

I see that guy almost every day on my morning commute from Harpers Ferry to Reston…. Always makes me chuckle.

Rt7 got to be such a nightmare that I just started sucking up the $16 a day and taking the 267 greenway. It saves me 20-30 min each way and is wide open.

I almost got hit so many times on my bike on Rt7 that I decided enough was enough

 

Appreciate the info! Are there benefits ordering from them vs Amazon, like mount/balance for a discount or something? Amazon says free shipping but that’s about it.
