Thunder's Garage Tetris: 04 Taco + 12 CTS-V + 06 GSXR

Just gonna leave these here for a while

 

And those tires were never moved again

 

Fake news






I moved them to the guest bedroom

 

FIFY

 

LCA work this weekend. Fingers crossed..

 

I was able to rotate all the alignment sleeves with no issues. I removed and anti-seized the front sleeves and bolts but I'm debating bothering to do the rear since I have to loosen and get the steering rack out of the way..

 

Well I did the rear ones too, found a torn steering rack boot. Replacing both while I am here. Then I'll dick with the camber settings. Maxed out the caster while I was messing with it. I kept rubbing the rear wheel well when off road.

 

Toe is real fucky on the passenger side, I'll readjust that along with the camber and limp it to the alignment shop 2 miles down the road lol. Then it's time to mount the tires

 

If you have a good alignment shop then I'd not really worry about it, but if you're interested and are going to some cheap local spot then it looks like you could just recenter your rack & steering wheel.

Enough good footage to make it easy to see the approach here:

I figured out why my toe was off so bad on that side, I accidentally had the caster set all the way to the rear instead of all the way to the front

 

It's really a shame these are now discontinued, I really like the look and road manners of these so far, and the noise level isn't too bad either.

We will see how they do at AOP.

 

Yeah I have them and love em, not sure what I'm gonna get next

 

I only see pics of your truck with the discoverers!

 

Oh I thought you had the STT Pros, the tread looks similar. Well I'm glad those aren't being discontinued ha. Carry on

 

haha they do look similar! But the center tread on these is a hair tighter so that's why I went with these

 

I believe they came out of the same factory. Pretty darn similar, just 4WheelParts wanting to get cooper quality when they came out

 

New wheels and tires for the V
Done spending money on automotive shit for a while

If you know anyone who wants a set of black V wheels + tires let me know

 

ooooff
Those wheels are steezy

 

sold the wheels, gonna get my stockers powdercoated. I didn't really like running on 20s around here, plus a couple other things I didn't like about them.

 

Took the truck out and wheeled it with @Justinogo and friends. Only minor cosmetic scrapage to the passenger rear flare and bumper and a blown diff seal.
