... Are they fixing it?

Oh, long story. They're fixed now though.
The 3 is raw.  Lighter than more agile.  The 6 probably feels like a 747.  And by that contrast, my STI probably feels like the Hindenburg.  So GR's are like the International Space Station.

Boring post, stack of tires and in the background my spare trans, t-case, and rear diff. I got those for a steal of a deal and couldn't pass that up, plus I intend on having this car until it is Mad Max world and I have to drive around going to battle over gasoline. I will definitely make this the last post about those tires without them on the car, but they're back from repair. Like I said, I might or might now have a bit of work to get them to fit, and I am going to adjust my suspension height and get an alignment..... but not before I move yet again. They fit with 225/45/17 on and had space, but just how much space?

Still will be in Edmonton, just hopefully to a quieter house (that definitely has a nicer detached garage).

Also, I heard that it is bad luck to remove those stickers... opinions?

Bad luck? Never heard that, nor can I even think of a reason as to why or how it would be? Personally, I always rip them off and they end up on a wall in the garage lol.

Wait a minute, I left those stickers on and got 3 of 4 wheels scratched. How is that not bad luck already? Stupid stickers didn't help.

I thought I had Tacoma truck thread on here, but I will just post here.

Sold my buddy the other day, had it almost 7 years. So here are my favorite pictures of it:

You sold the Tacoma? Nooo... I would've bought it...
If the sea was vodka, and I was a duck.
I would swim to the bottom, and drink my way up.
But the sea isn't vodka, and I'm not a duck.
So give me the vodka, and stfu.
If you're having forum problems, I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but your post ain't one.

I promise neither of you would have if you seen the corrosion on the frame IRL.

Toyota wouldn't do anything about it, I tried 5 different ways to get the frame replaced, and really exhausted all my resources.

It is in good hands with a friend who is a welder/fabricator and he will fix it up and keep it going. Also gave me first dibs if he ever goes to sell it.

To be honest over the years I had accumulated like 5-6 people who told me they would buy it if I ever wanted to sell it, but it went to the right person out of those people.

No, this picture was from a few weeks ago. Last time I drove it actually as I was out of town from August 30th until September 16th.. and Edmonton has since salted the roads so it is probably parked for the year.

I think the fitment is on point. Top of the tire really only has a couple mm from rubbing on the flares when the suspension is fully compressed, 1/3 the way down the wheel the tire is flush, bottom pokes out and showers me with pebbles (  >:( )
