What are the tapped holes for?

Optional steel skids

I picked up the cruiser after cam tab welds and alignment a little while ago, everything works and alignment tracks great. I specified no less than 3° on the caster and the tech came in hot on those numbers, see pic. I’m towing this weekend so I’ll see how it does at speed on the highway but driving around this afternoon I had no issues. He said to come back if I want to dial anything in so I appreciate that. All 8 cam tabs welded and alignment was a whopping $200, hard to complain even though the welds aren’t beautiful… I will clean up around there and throw on some paint. Also, tech knew the torque on the LCA’s was “tight as piss”. I’m just relieved to have the thing back, shop anxiety is real.

I've also been busy spending money overseas and waiting long periods of time for shipments. :D
I'm sorry if these are repeats for some of you on my same FB groups.
The tire carrier is cool, but I'd like some mods to it and since I don't have an extended fuel tank, I don't see myself using it too much, unless I decide to run larger tires than I can fit underneath, which probably will never happen.
The skid plates I really like, mostly from the weight perspective. I also have the Victory 4x4 skid plates and if I was to do any real offroading, like when I hit wearyman's creek (brutal in a stock lx - ask me how I know), I'd probably use the Victory ones, but driving around Houston, I don't need the added 100+ lb of all that steel.

I bought it on Temu.
This is the one I bought.
 
I picked up a set of Tundra wheels to have a 5th for my spare and added a new matching Michelin Defender LTX MSII tire for 5 wheel rotations. Just need a good day to swap out the winter tires. (more snow forecasted for tonight)
The extra 3 wheels are for sale in the classifieds section. They are less than perfect.

What is with people putting s*** tires on their vehicles.


Haha, trust me that was my first thought too.. I have no idea.

I'll pull them off and sell them cheap. I was happy at 1500 for the deal especially if I can make a few bucks selling these tires.

Are these HE wheels powder coated in black? I hope not. That would be a sin.

I would be surprised if you are able to sell these tires for a meaningful price. I was going to buy one for my spare and brand new in DT they are less than $200 OTD. I did not buy them though.
