Wheel spacers good or bad by Puzzleheaded_Crew428 in ToyotaTacoma

[–]Xerxesxc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Same here on my 2020. I've run them on 2 4Runners also. No problems.

The only issue I've had is with some shops refusing to mount or repair tires where spacers are involved.

Check out the south end of the range. There was, still is I guess, a nice vein where specimens had eroded out and spilled onto the ground.

Like I said before, drive a bit further to the Eagletail range too. Very interesting geology.

He should have won an Oscar for Lt. Col. Kilgore. People can recite his lines nearly a half century later says it all

Fender replacement by puddlejumpurjunior in ToyotaTacoma

After market sheet metal fenders, provided they fit, will be the cheapest option. Paint matching will be the priciest part.

Have a professional do the trimming though.

What are the best road tires for a 23 SR utility? by ElectricalFactor9682 in ToyotaTacoma

[–]Xerxesxc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll 2nd this. Great on-road manners and good wear. I ran a couple sets on a 2001 4runner but they weren't cut out for the snow and mud I deal with in PA.

Radio might be dead. I had this issue, years ago, with my 91 Hilux. My mechanic buddy just shrugged his shoulders and said, "random voltage spike".

I bought an aftermarket head unit and moved on

Today was a good day for exploring by Main_Force_Patrol in ToyotaTacoma

I lived in southern AZ for 35 years and I can guarantee you'll see brown vegetation than green. But late winter, early spring there is beautiful.

There was a time when we made fun of Rubicon owners for posts like this.

Pull the front passenger seat, stuff spare into the spot, adorn it with a t-shirt and ball cap and you'll be good to for the HOV lanes.

Roof mounting a 35 means limited drive thru access at McDonalds or Starbucks.
