Ok. Blacks out. Need to get the spacers on later in the week. Called discount tire twice at one location and once at another, they all said they would install spacers. When I got there this morning they told me they wouldn't under any circumstance. :( I can do it myself, just figured it would have been nice for them to have done it.

Loving the 18s! Just do them yourself and make sure to tighten both the inner and outer lugs to spec.

Thanks. Gotta track down a torque wrench first. Probably should just buy one to have on hand. The other question I had was that spidertraxx put red loctite in the box. Why would you want to use loctite? Would that be a bitch anytime you wanted to work on the brakes? I can't wrap my head around that. If anything you would want to use some anti-sieze right?

Edit: Just saw AutoZone will loan torque wrenches for free for up to 90 days. Damn, that's kind of great.

The last time I 'borrowed' a tool from Autozone I actually had to pay for it up front and then got a refund when I brought it back. So technically, it's free.

Why does it need spacers? Is the offset on those Tundra wheels different than LC/LX wheels?
 
Alright, my 12 pack contribution. I figured I would keep it on theme. (So we aren't crossing wires).

Ok guys we need to start making some moves on specific plans. Austin guys minus @geanes are you all going to caravan and meet up in Moriarty the evening of the 11th? Since I'm coming from Dallas I may just go straight to Moriarty and meet others there.

This is all 2 weeks from today! exciting.

Definitely want to hook up with everyone in Durango the morning of the 12th and head in from there :)

Even if the rest of this blows up I will be in Durango by noon and will cruise in with ya.
 
I'm back to driving up from ABQ on the 12th. But I don't know that I will be able to get out of town early enough to be in Durango by noon. I have to go pick up my camper from my dad's place in the south part of town that morning and then attempt to get the whole crew moving and out of the house by 8 to make that happen. It's about a 4-hour drive from ABQ to Durango if you stop for gas and a bio-break.

Install an extended range tank and pee in a bottle....problem solved! We'll see you at noon!

You must be an engineer. That's a very pragmatic approach to the problem. If there wasn't a wife and teenagers involved, that would probably work.
