Question: With aftermarket wheels, are ET lugs necessary? I ask because I’m getting my Fifteen52 wheels mounted tomorrow and the tech at Discount Tire tells me that normal acorn lugs will have enough thread engagement.

Exactly where I’m headed. Seems like most sliders aren’t entirely full length? I like the coverage of the CBI sliders but not the look.

Not much going on here. Added the Gamiviti rack in June and wheels and tires in May. Notice the crinkled front bumper and scuffed running boards. Whoops ;)

Stupidly I ended up selling the Methods since I was looking for a different look, but am really regretting it now. Back on the stock wheels for now, but have an order in for 265/70/18s to get me through the next couple of years.

New wheels fitted! Rubbing a bit so I broke out the heat gun and massaged the fender liners, but I think some cutting will be in order.

I’m looking at getting the taillights from a wrecked 2020 GX. Are they plug and play? Or will there be any coding required?

Just got home from getting the front windows and windshield tinted. Went for 20% on the fronts and 70% on the windshield. On the way home drove through a local nature preserve. Majority of gravel and access roads. It was nice to just not be on pavement for a bit. 20% seems to match the...

Well these practically fell into my lap. I was just browsing the local FB ads and saw these pop up. I was intrigued so I messaged him. Turns out he ran them on his 1st gen Tundra for about 200 miles before he moved to a 2nd gen Tundra. The tires even still have the little nubs on them still...

A friend of mine is selling his Method MR701 with 285/70 Terra Grapplers. Think I could make them fit with a BMC before the lift?

I just booked an appointment at Adventure Motors KC for a Dobinsons IMS kit and Ironman UCAs. Now just need to settle on wheels. Windows going to get tinted this week. Also made an appointment for Krown underbody spray.

Hot hatches are really fun. That's all I drove in my 20s. Now that I'm 36, I just want something comfy and bulletproof. The GX does both things perfectly for me. Thanks for the info. I've already watched Tinkerer's videos. He does a great job at explaining the science. I was actually surprised...

I recently picked up this two owner 2015 GX with about 93k miles about 3 weeks ago from a local dealer. I traded in a Fiesta ST since I needed more space. It was a squeeze to pick up three kids from school so I made the jump to the GX. So far I'm loving it, aside from the gas mileage. Super...

Yup same cut and design. The only difference is material. The Weather Beater is more plastic feeling and the XAct more rubber feeling if that makes sense.

Agreed.
