Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

It's only money...

If Falken's 90 day proclamation is true, that puts them out to early June. Luckily I'm still at roughly 10/32 tread depth, so I can wait a bit.

 

Get new wheels.
Problem solved.

 

My google-fu is not cooperating tonight. I was trying to find "when to replac AT tires" thresh hold and all I can find is info for passenger car tires. Any idea what the min tread depth is for AT's?

 

Minimum on my old Falkens was 4mm.

 

On road would be the same as passenger car tires. Off road, I guess it would depend on what your threshold for getting stuck would be. The less tread depth, the less effective they'd be in mud or sand.

 

That's about what my Toyo's were. Last week the Taco went in for an alignment. So I said put some tires on it. I went with the Toyo Open Country ATlll again, 285/70/17. This time the C Load.

 

Maybe trading would've been cheaper?

 

I do believe the 2024 models mostly come with 17" wheels as the base size with optional 18" wheels on some higher trims. Apparently you can also fit 33" tires with no modification and in some cases maybe even 35s. Just saying.

 

Maybe @pearing should get a 2024.

AT4W comes in a 35x11.5x17 D rated FWIW

 

I mean.... I was using my 3/8 socket wrench just fine on the trucks at work.

Tundra backseat had a space shuttles load worth more room than a taco back seat.

 

You know, I think some (maybe a lot?) of the problems with those drain plugs is that people don't clean them enough to get the Allen fully seated which allows the wrench to slip/twist and ruin the socket. Once this happens, the plug is junk and will be an absolute bitch to remove.

I learned a long time ago working on VWs (aircooled), how critical getting the Allen wrench properly engaged is to being successful removing such fasteners. They had some notorious Allen bolts and plugs in places that could be a bitch to get to and if you f@cked one up, you were going to have to take a whole lot more apart to remove said bolt/plug.

 

With my Firestone AT/2s, I learned I couldn't make a mileage warranty claim on them until they were at 4/32nds. I sold them when they were at 9/32nds. Could have gotten another year out of them probably but the Mickeys were calling to me.

 

When you cant stay on the trail anymore???? I know with KM3's its when you cant hear the radio anymore...

 

I got my girl-SeondGenBestGen!!! Besides, already running 35's... Time to consider-37's OHHHHHHHH!!!!

 

I so live at the end of the road... A freekin doggie Gelato is $4!!! Funk man, when a cone gets over $0.49 at McDs' I loose my mind.

 

I got my boy.
3rd gen degen. Rockin' 32's all day.
Hopping hills and catching thrills.

Good morning T.W.
I'm turning over a new leaf.

 

I have learned that taking that extra minute to get the right angle etc makes a world of different down the line.

Same thing for tundra t cases, why not just use the 24 mm head like the resr diff....

That's my favorite flavor of coffee

I've got a whole fleet I spray every year now. Seems the family is finally catching on lol
