I hate adding things up.

-5 Bronze SCS rims and lug nuts ($900 shipped)
-Marlin Crawler Lefty ($2,560.31 Shipped)
-CBI tire carrier ($1,378 shipped)
-Addicted Front Bumper ($904 shipped)
-Savage Skid Plates ($500 picked up)
-Camburg Upper Control Arms ($675)
Total: $7,217.31

 

In what time frame are these getting done? I'm really debating getting some F-5's right now, but they only have the gloss black right now.

Why not spend $700 on a welder and all the other parts and build your own bumpers?

 

I won the lottery too, hooker and blow for everyone.

 

Probably 2 to 3 years. I made a list when I joined T4R and I just finished it. I just bought 5-stars. So the F5's are off that list until I make the jump to 35's.

 

I was going to say, 6k is a lot. Did you pick up 10ac's 5 stars?

 

Yepp, minus the tires. $150 for 4 5-stars. How could I not?
I'm going to paint them either a darker grey/black or a dark bronze.

I don't really want to run an 8inch wide rim on a 255 tire. So a 5-star makes sense for now.

 

Damn that is a deal. I'd jump on that too since it saves you a ton.

I'm thinking about getting some F-5's and Treadwrights or going cheap and using some Tacoma TRD Offroad wheels I have and get some Cooper ATP's. There is a deal for some brand new Toyo AT2's with LC wheels, but they are 295's and I wasn't planning on going that big and wide.

 

I already have money set aside for when I find a deal on 35" MTR-Kevlars.

295 is a little big if you're still daily driving the thing... I like the F5 plan though

 

35's would be sweet!

Yeah I'm not a fan of 295's since they are so wide. I really want to get some 255's but the tire choices are horrible. These just came up...http://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/pts/4328438215.html I've thought about going with some bronze to match my cladding, but I'm not sure how well it would match.

 

That's a deal, $650 seems like a good price, but I could be wrong. I'm not going to lie, I miss your original cladding color, and always have.

 

Yeah I see them sell on here for $800 all the time if not more. I think the BFG's are 265/70's though. If I had my stock front bumper I'd really think about. I kind of miss it and would only do it if I had a bronze to match the cladding, but I'm not sure if the TRD bronze matches that well.

I emailed the guy anyways and may go see them tomorrow since they are right by my office. Maybe talk him down a bit and pick these up instead.

 

Connor, did you miss out on those 5 stars? Looks like the are sold to another guy with the tires.

 

So basically what's happening is he bought 10AC's with good tires on them. However, the guy that bought them already has 5-stars, but with crappy tires, so they're just going to swap rims and tires instead mounting and dismounting. Then 10AC is going to turn around and sell me the other 5-stars with crappy tires for $150.

 

Gotcha, I saw that it was Gramps who had 5 stars already. Nice, those 5 stars are going to look sweet.

 

how can a spare tire holder be loosening up? My tire squeaks about every 3 weeks below the rear and i tighten it up and its fine. Repeat in 3 weeks. I've checked tire pressure since its been cold and its been holding steady at 45.

 

mine gets lose every other month or so. I think it's just the nature of the design and the constant tension for 10+ years.

 

its going to be even worse when i throw a 285 under it for a fullsize. I guess ill just over inflate and get in habit to check it out monthly.

It makes sense, tension wont be the same 10 years later. I just hate noises, im glad this cabin is a TON quieter than my 07 GM. That thing sounded like a lego.

 

Just ordered my SW bumper. Saved a shitload via GB and combining shipping, using the money I "saved" to buy a gaudy winch to match

Let the waiting begin

 

I want to sound deaden my cab but at the same time have no real need to. I have tons of little rattles and stuff but most of it doesn't bother me except for the damn sunroof rattle.

black?
and what winch are you gonna go with?
