Northern Virginia Roll Call

I did the round trip to Detroit a few weeks back via the turnpike and 70 /81 and finished at 14.2 with the 265/70/17 KO2's running 70-75.

 

It’s like 33 1/4 for the ko2s

 

Not bad, especially compared to my mud tires. Congratulations on those sexy pieces of rubber

 

I have used K02 and grabber all terrains off road in the dry and loved them. I would still run all terrains if my Tacomas weren’t trail-toys that see lots of mud.

 

For those of us that have trimmed the flares and reinstalled them, has anyone broken a tab off the flare on removal and felt the need to plastic-weld it back into place prior to reinstalling?

I wish my truck wasn't my DD, but I chose this life! I think I am going to look into the second set route for some ATs.

Nice.

I'm not known for doing responsible things, but I may have to change my ways here soon. Love these g003s though, which is why I might go the second set route so I can keep them! For now, I basically just told myself that we will be taking the wife's ride from here on out.

Jealous! At least with that vehicle, I would be more accepting of mid-teens mileage. I probably should have went with the Tundra...those new ones have a kick ass interior.

I think I'm going to look into the grabber ATs as a second set. I had one set of KO2s a few years back and was not a fan, but that may have just been a one-off.

 

Those new ones are nice!! And being a TT V6 their MPG is pretty similar to the third gen. I would drive the shit out of one.

 

I said I was keeping this Taco forever...until next year when I go looking at a new Tundra. lol

 

Hi everyone, I’m new to TW. I just got a Tacoma back in January. I recently got Bilstein 5100s installed last week and this week, once wheels arrive, I hope to get tires and wheels installed. The stock off road tires have about 1200 miles on them. Is there a responsible resale market for them here in northern VA? I don’t want to pay to have shop dispose of them if someone would buy the factory tires and wheels for a reasonable price.

 

You have to qualify for the BST rules even in subforums.

If you're not there yet, try craigslist/fb marketplace/offer up

 

Thanks for the quick reply. I saw requirements existed in order to be able sell on TW. I haven’t reviewed those requirements yet. I’m more just curious to know if others have had trouble selling their new/fairly new factory tires and wheels around northern VA.

 

It all depends on what you think is a "resonable price" I would say, check the BST forum on pricing, but for anything used, 30% of retails would be a reasonable evaluation.

 

Gave Tessa a bath after day care. House was chilly and she was still a little damp. Tried a blanket over her when she laid down. Took a minute, but I think she likes it.

 

We put our dog in pajamas every night. It’s fun spoiling the pups.

 

Yes, it is. Between all playtime at boarding, being back home, a ride in the truck, new smells in the front yard (rabbit poop), and us being home, she's had a pretty full day. We're now talking about getting her a playmate as the cats don't want to play. We saw this up in Detroit and she started the conversation. Cavapoo puppy.

 

Welcome and I did the exact same thing. Ended up tossing them believe it or not. It was more trouble to deal with people and their garbage for me.

 

I moved a set of Duelers on stock rims in about 36 hours on marketplace.

 

Didn’t have a chance cut the rear fenders before the 35s go on tomorrow. Figured with the load of 35s the original tie rods and lcas deserved to be replaced

 

You might not need to. I never cut mine

 

well I found some rust on the top of the driver rear wheel well so I might just trim the fender to cut it out
