UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

I've been thinking about a re-gear but haven't been able to talk myself into it. My tires new were 56 lbs and my next will be 60, not really looking forward to it.

 

I ran Nittos for a while. They were great in the dirt and rocks but they are Foxtrotting heavy! My spare weighed 114 lbs.

I run MTRs now.....

 

I don't think I've ever weighed my spare to see how heavy it is.

 

That reminds me, I need to get the tire on my spare swapped to the right size, and pick up a second rim.

Anyone have the steel 16 inch tacoma spare rim laying around they want to get rid of?

 

Piggy backing on this. I’ll be changing out my spare 265/70/17 tire. Brand new, never run on. (I’m traveling, so I’m guessing) it’s the same fire -except size- as stock. Those ugly ass Kevlar tires.
Rim not included. Tire only.
Make me an offer.

 

I think I still my original spare wheel . I don't remember the size. I can check when I get home....

 

If it's the 16 inch steelie, I'll take it off your hands

 

I'll check but it's whatever was stock on a 2010 TRD/OR...

 

Anyone know a gunsmith that can depin/repin a flashhider in the SLC area?

 

Not 100% sure if they could or not, but try Rain6 and ask for James. If not, then they would know who could.

Rick is a gunsmith out in West Jordan that does his work from home.

Gunsmithing would be fun to get into. I’ve done some cosmetic stuff like stripping the finish and putting a patina on a friend’s .17 HMR Golden Boy cause the glare was blinding him

 

Please update if you find somebody. I have been sending my stuff to Adco, it would be nice to have a local option.

 

If you go to Simple Performance or find another place please update with your experience. My skids are going to be here soon and I need to get this done.

 

I actually have been dragging my feet and didn't do it yet. Maybe get a 2fer deal negotiated and we can hit the LC museum?

 

That looks like you did a good job! I always dread doing finish stuff since that is relatively hard to fix, and I have the artistic ability of a kindergartner

A few folks in a locals FB group said to try the armory. Helps that it's like 3 mins from my house.

 

Is that really surprising though? I see a lot of crap that a safety inspection would catch and demand be fixed that now doesn't get checked unless you attract attention from the popo. Bald tires, no headlights, etc.

Mudflaps is one of those annoying little catch-alls they work in, but I was all for safety inspections. Just be glad they aren't anything like Virginia or the Mass inspections. Those are a pain and a half to deal with.

 

Isn't that some bullshit?...the end of mandatory safety inspection on vehicles and now the rise in unsafe vehicle tickets. They will get your money, one way or another.
