A tease of spring in the PNW this weekend. Just gorgeous. Got the Tundra out in the driveway and must have removed 10 lbs of winter grit and crud from underneath.

Love this truck and those IH 666's! One of the last of the V8's, Baby!

Here's an oldie I spotted recently...

@TelemarkTumalo hell yeah! I just traded my last Subaru out for a 21. What size tires you running? I think I’ll stick with the factory forged wheels and upsize the tires

@scooter Damn that’s nice!!

@WhiskeySandwich

Well Done! Your Pro must feel a lot different than your Subuaru! I changed my oil yesterday and there is just something rewarding and relaxing about DIY.

My tires are Falken WildPeak AT3W 295/70 R18. Great all around AT tire for snow, rain, sand, dirt, yet still good road manners. The only knock I have with them is that are these are heavy at 68 lbs each. 10 ply and E rated plus the size I think explains it.

The OEM Pro wheels are just ideal in my mind. BBS forged and look the stuff. Good choice if you keep them. Some folks want to go negative offset and so either get wheels for a wider stance, but definitely do your homework as there are often clearance issues with that approach.

In the wild.

I know, right ? Sometimes, I wish they still made them like that...

[WhiskeySandwich]

@TelemarkTumalo yeah I’m a huge fitment nerd when it comes to offsets and other dimensions. I have those wildpeaks on the Tacoma pro and they’ve served me well for about 60k miles and counting. The pro wheels on the tundra are awesome and I don’t think you can beat em. Thanks for the tire details!!!

@Seul that Porsche just made me a little wet.

[Tago Mago]

@Matt you take the Porsche, I’ll take the BMW

I was driving behind a Ferrari 296 GTB for a while on the weekend, about 200 grands worth of car. Couldn't out march the mighty Octavia

due to the traffic

[Seul]

@Matt figured it was a replica but don't know enough about it to know/ check...

[TelemarkTumalo]

@scooter Fine ride!

My wife and I chose a 2024 RAV4 Hybrid for our new vehicle. I absolutely love it, a nice change of format from my 2017 Corolla. I love being high up and having more room. Really digging it. It's larger than a car but not huge like a Highlander or even a 4Runner. I think it's perfect for us and our future family.

And a car

Congratulations

Thanks, gents. Driving an hour to and from now is much more enjoyable. I can see more of people's farms and gardens now.

@Giles I'll keep you posted
