The SR thread, let's see them!

I thought about putting my current pods in the fog location, then ordering a pair of their side projecting pods for my ditch lights. Do your fogs work totally independently?

 

Anyone that scratches their window? My drive side window has a scratches about 10 cm, I noticed it after do window tint but as I look carefully it look like double parallel scratches. Not sure it was the tint guys did that or not, I dont know if razor blade could create parallel scratches or not. The scratches is noticeable, what would be my option

 

I thought they looked like the 3.5" backspace from the first set of pictures.

I ordered the same wheels with 4.5" back space and in gunmetal.

 

Definitely the tint guys, they use a razor blade to cut the film on the window. I had them ruin some weather stripping on the back window on a car once....complained and got a refund on the job!

 

The way mine are wired up, yes. I have them tapped in now so my parking lights/headlights must be on for the circuit to have power. However, it would take 5 seconds to change the address a circuit location to make them active whenever I pleased. My pods are not a driving beam, so they are only good for when no one is around except wildlife and such.

 

Looks great.
What back spacing on the F5 wheels did you get?
If you switched from steel OEM wheels to the F5's did you have to get different TPMS sensors?

 

They are 3.5” BS and yes I replaced the TPMS with cloneable sensors and retrained to the truck

 

Here’s my new 2017 SR 4X4 2.7L 5 speed manual. Just got it last week and put a quick 1200 miles on it. Love it! Will get some black wheels and proper tires before too long.

 

you can always rattle can your steel ones in the time being, I did, they look good enough for now, but I'm planning on black fj cruiser trd trail teams wheels eventually.

 

Tempting, but it won't be long and I'd imagine they are worth more to sell on Craigs List unpainted!

 

My plan for the wheels....

 

The truck has changed a little since then thought I'd share a updated photo on this thread!

 

Looks awesome!

 

Thanks Danny, Just threw some 285 75 16 Cooper ST Maxx Tires on it last weekend!

 

Nice. I'm looking at tires as well. These stock Hankooks are absolute garbage.

 

I love these ST Maxx, they are so quiet you can't even hear them on the highway. My duratracs were super noisy! These things are like Michelin MS2's with a aggressive tread pattern !

 

Couldn't agree more. They are quiet and smooth in dry conditions but pretty bad at everything else.

 

They're so bad in the rain. Oddly enough when I had my 2.7 they were OK in light snow. The set on my 3.5 squeal a ton though. Around every corner. When turning in parking lots. Everywhere. I could understand if I drove like a maniac, but this is a bit ridiculous

 

This set-up is definitely the road less traveled around these parts, but it is SHARP! Are those pro comp wheels?

 

Ion Alloys 171 16x8s Summit Racing carries them.
Had to add .75 spacers to clear the calipers.
Really like them and are easy to keep clean.
I have a old 65 Galaxie 500 I show and I am into clean detailed cars and my Tacoma is no exception.
With winter coming the stock steel wheels will be going back on soon. It will be in the car wash a couple times a week to keep the salt off it and the frame. Its a keeper. Im 58 and told my wife I am going to see if it out lives me. Im not sure which one is going to win though.
