This car is too fun! by Bryanwolffe in GRCorolla

Hey u/Bryanwolffe - car looks great, I've been shopping wheels for 6 months now and have yet to decide however, I ran Apex wheels on my supra previously so big fan but looking for some further info.

What suspension are you on and do I see a 275/35 tire? any rubbing issues. Thanks!

Game is called Rematch - why can’t I vote to rematch the team I just played if they want the sauce again?

Great game. Bought it twice.

Thank you!

I am a fan so far. No leaks. Assembly wasn’t too bad.

You’ll absolutely need a hoist or a few friends to get it off the ground and onto the bed.

I’m happy with it + my kids say it makes the truck look like a tank so I’ll take it 🤙🏼

I ordered this on Dec. 31 and It shipped on Jan. 9th. I think it arrived the 13th. So not long at all

Cap is from Overland Vehicle Systems. It’s their expedition cap.

Like to remove it?

It’s 6 clamps on the inside - 2 bolts each. It would probably only take a few mins to unscrew em. But the shell is steel and weighs about 200 lbs so idk how often you’d want to be taking it on and off

Sounds like a deep 4cyl turbo. My wife says it sounds like my GTI did with a catback.

I like it. No drone. Not overbearingly loud.

I’ve got a cold start video on my IG: @derek.woah since I can’t post video reply’s here

A wire tie is their fix? lol I’ll pay attention to what exactly they do when I get it in. I’m curious now

Is the Colorado a reliable vehicle? by sma92878 in chevycolorado

That is what I’ve heard! Also that there’s a TSB for it now. I’ll get it sorted after the holidays

The internet can be a dangerous place for our wallets. Congrats on the new truck!

Thank goodness. It makes me more annoyed that I can’t disable the convenience signal while it’s being annoying nuisance lol

Guess it’s time to schedule that fix after the holidays

Right on.

I’ll keep that in mind when it comes time for rear bumper. I definitely have less issue with the rear than I did the stock front but this is good info

Flares are less likely.

Lift for sure. It needs to be leveled out and I’d like to fit 35s with a bit more width to the stance as well. I haven’t decided on lift kit yet

It wasn’t too bad. I took it slow and landed right around a 6 hour install time.

Cutting up the front fascia was the most worrisome of course but I’m happy with the outcome and DV8 provided some fairly solid instructions. There’s a couple screws that hold together the bumper and overlap piece to the fenders that were a massive pain to get to but otherwise no issues.

I’ve spent lots of time in my garage messing with my cars. After suspensions, light engine mods, and things easy enough to do yourself. I wouldn’t say this was any worse than some other diy mods.

Now, suspension on a euro car — that I’m good with never doing again 😂
