I forgot to post this yesterday.......I ordered wheels for my truck. Chrome 18x8 witha +40 offset. Should have by wednesday but not putting them on right away.

 

just posting cuz im curious if I loose my toyotaholic status for post 2000... guess.. nice wheels dude. why are you gunna sit on them ?

 

Cause its winter and I have my studded snow tires on right now. Plus the de-icer crap they put on the roads is horrible.

 

oh true... that SUCKSSSS

 

will agree with that.

 

Bought some stuff for it. Looked into the torn shifter boot cover and laughed, I could see the trans, both boots shot, ordered a new lower one from Marlin Crawler, shoulda done that when the seat and bush got ordered lol.
Got a 30mm socket at Sears, looked at 75-90 gear lube at the parts store and hmm...thinkin'.

 

Froze my rad going to school the other day.

so i drained my rad.
got the water mix closer to 50%, but not exact. Need more Toyota red coolant...

 

I cut off a misc tab that was welded to my inside passenger trailor fender, ground it down smooth and sprayed some black paint on it to keep it from rusting.

 

Ordered a 20" steelie. Should be here tomorrow!

 

Bought a Leer hard tonneau cover for $100 off craigslist its sweet hopefully have it installed this weekend along with my tailgate. Post pics when its done but its gonna be 3 colors in the rear end for a while till I Can paint it

18" on the left. 20" on the right!

Damn! Crown Vics I bet, from a cop car. NICE!!!

 

could be, im going to try going down to the shop where they work on all the city cop cars and try and get some of their steelies with tires... they trash soo many good tires... also crown vic steelies are 16s.. I could go out side and check but im pretty sure they are still 16 on the 2011

 

i know dodge rams had 20" steelies

 

The 18's are from 06-09 mercury mountaineer ford explorer. Same 5x4.5 lug pattern as toyota trucks. The 20" steelie is from a 09 dodge nitro r/t. Same 5x4.5 lug pattern as toyota trucks
