I’ve went from TRD off-road, TRD sema Pro, to low-offset extra wide aftermarket wheels 33” tires on the same set of OEM sensors. My tire shop swapped them over every time, no questions asked as its part of their mounting fee. Do I need TPMS on trails? Nah, but it’s nice to get an immediate...

What did JBA say? Didn’t they switch to a different ball joint, or updated the design recently?

Oooh, I hope they sell more Santa Cruzes after this mash up. I appreciate this drag race as it tells me we’re able to keep up with a $60k Bronco if one was to ever cut us off. We’ll just have to tell them off in two sentences or less.

Definitely don’t see the snap ring on the first pirch. This leads me to believe that your shop might have put the snap ring on the “first” pirch from the top, opposite of what you wanted and yielding the highest lift possible. Take it back in.

I wouldn’t mess with spacers if I couldn’t check the torque myself, especially if I get a flat. A 4x4 piece of wood, or a phone book can resolve the oem bottle Jack situation. Save the $70-100 you would have spent once on a mechanic and get yourself a decent torque wrench. You should be...

Love the Dakar’s as they have the perfect offset; aggressive but not too brodozer.

Even though these unique “pro” colors tend to date the truck, I enjoy how much they burn the lines of the 5th gen into the collective psyche. This is unprecedented with any truck/ SUV in production. With that said, I’m getting cross-over vibes with this color.

Ain’t gonna lie; I got premium simply to flex the “TRD” badge on the headrest (meaning “show off” for some geezers here). Fabric would have been fine. Added bonus was it was comfortable and durable for camping/ off-roading trips. I’ve had so many interiors that cracked or smelled like an old...

Has anyone tried the Honda-made spice-chili flavored anti-rodent electrical tape? It’s pricey at like 40 bucks a roll but supposedly one lick of this tape sends a rat packing. Depending on your region, might have to step it up a notch and hit them with the ghost peppers.

I don’t think I’ve seen an 88 turbo anything on the road lately unless it’s a Sunday car/ garage queen. But, I’ve seen plenty of Toyota trucks/ 4Runners that will require carbon dating. I left the need to “be special” back in my younger sports-car days. Nowadays, seeing a doppelgänger is kind...

This thread gets started every year because the last one gets swamped with people posting their random low mileage trucks. Hopefully, this one stays the course. Current standing: Jeremy556: 295k

It was a joke on how people get their pants in a bunch when it comes to drilling or cutting anything. I think I might have been too subtle. Appreciate the link!

Better watch that mpg. You might have nicked the fuel line.

Bf Goodrich KO2 and Falken Wildpeak. Can’t say I’ve tried all the other tires but I’ve had passengers mention how they can’t believe we were rolling on AT tires. That’s all that matters.

Not my photo, but pretty clean cut for someone else who’s search brings them here…
