NW WA Meet / BS Thread

This is what I was referring to btw:

just looked through that ^^^ it's cute but my spare is a 37 that's not fitting under any Tacoma. Side note a guy I know is selling a brand new set of toyo MT's 285X75R16 for $700 anyone interested???

 

Damn thats an incredible deal. Someone is going to be insanely lucky

 

they are 10ply too. if I didn't just buy tires for my cummins id jump all over that.

 

they are brand new? damn I've been itching to jump up to that size lately.

 

Do it. I am pretty sure the tires are in Idaho. If they make their way toward Spokane, I do makes trips west from there from time to time, and I could save you on shipping fee.

 

brand spanking new still have the stickers on them.
But yeah im in south east Idaho. I can drop them off with a TW member that lives in boise early Oct.

 

hmm I have family in Boise. I'm going to Idaho in Nov but that will be up in Sandpoint. Let me think on it... maybe call my aunt in Boise.

If I did that I bet someone would buy my 265/75/16 Duratracs with less than 5k miles on em.

 

don't know how long the guy will have them so keep in touch.

 

Not sure if it helps but I will probably headed to Tamarack Idaho in December. We go every year.

 

Have you figured out why your front wheels aren't centered in your wheel wells? Hope they don't rub

 

I've been following the Mid Travel BS thread and some of those guys have 3 or even 4* of caster dialed in to clear their big tires. I'm going to take the truck to Tru-Line in Bellevue and try that.

I haven't done any cutting yet I just took a heat gun and softened up the plastic and bent it back a little. So plenty of trimming to do and probably a cab mount chop in my future.

 

Hmm I still can't think of any main reason except the body is off somehow. Is your back wheel centered?

Those tires are a steal, wish I would have gone high enough to clear them.

 

There are some decent tires for sale in Portland.

Installed my spidertrax wheel spacers this morning. I love the stance since I hate the "tucked" look. Hopefully I don't pull a Will and all stay on

 

The real trick to the stance is getting wheels with less backspacing. That gives the customized look of the rim while also putting the wheel out a little farther.

 

I was going to get the Micky Thompson Baja Classic lock but could never get a definite answer to whether the 16's would clear the calipers or not. So I just decided to do it this way and a lot cheaper. I like it

 

Just ordered the Fuel Anza d557 16x8 4.5 bs 0 offset and Nitto Trail Grappler MT 285/75r16
Going to lower the front coilovers just a little afterwards, get a horse stall mat and be ready to go!

 

What do you need a stall mat for? I moved 44 of them from my last house to my current one, then cut some up to fit them into the stalls in my barn.

 

For the bed, heard they weighed a decent amount so it'd work well to keep the rear end on the ground absorbing bumps better than bouncing around. Plus it would keep stuff from sliding around and help protect the bed plastic,
