i GUESS it's about time i updated this thing...
let's jump back to june... the unthinkable happens! i'm about to get my quesadilla on at la tapatia and while i'm backing into my spot... KUHSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. i ran over a baby!
well not a baby, but a large metal object that should not have been on the ground.
what's a boy to do? i tried to put my spare on but as my luck would have it, the spare was bent! my mother was meeting me to eat, so i snatched her car and drove to NTB to have them put the spare on my rim. my mother sat lonely at the side of the runner, jacked up in the parking lot at la tapatia... i had to leave her! if i had not, some questionables would have took mi troca!
the day only gets better!
NOT.
i thought my then-current tires were puny (235/65/15)... my spare was 225! :jaw drop:
anyway... i rode on that for a few weeks looking for some deals on tires. i might have gotten carried away and searched for rims too... but i'm glad i did! i snagged a set of four FJ rims WITH tires! for $400.
the day they came home:
the day they went on:
that was it for a while... jump ahead to august.
i decided i wanted to get my deck plate on:
i love it. it's definitely more noticeable in the higher RPM's, but when i'm overtaking somebody or driving it like i stole it... it sounds so nice. i can't wait for to do the ISR and hopefully get a cherry bomb. *drool*
then... everything came together. i got the tires i have been wanting since i owned Big Red... BFG All Terrains.
so far so good. they rub a teeny bit, but not too bad. next i'm gonna try and get my hands on some mud guards (GOOD RIDDANCE RUNNING BOARDS)!
here are a few shots of how she sits today.
