My goal is to purchase a 2019 Toyota Tacoma, and I'm considering purchasing Nitto Ridge Grapplers from 4wheelonline and installing them on both the back and front of the truck. Is anyone driving a Tacoma with these tires?

Didn't know you could get a Tacoma for under $20g...cool!  Better than a Buick that's for sure!  ;D :stick:

Me...I bought a toy for way under budget...unfortunately it will never see the light of day.  Will remain in storage until the end of time.  Or if I ever have grand kids...who knows I might be selfish and forbid them from even so much as pondering upon them...  ;D


Grand kids...lol...as if...I'll be too old to even find them if and when we ever have grand kids... :rofl:

Welp, here is a little something my friend picked up for CAN$15k a few days ago.

FC RX-7 racecar.

Supposedly it was capable of 450 WHP but the owner tuned it down so my friend can handle it. No power steering, no AC, Bride racing seats, on-off-switch race clutch and the previous owner threw in a roll cage as a part of the deal as well.

Tried it out a bit in a parking lot. Nope, not driving it on public roads myself and I am impressed that he managed to drive it on the road, but I could imagine it being a blast at a track.

Couldn't $15k get you a very well sorted Mazda Miata track car?  I think that would be the way I would go if getting a track day car.

But would it have a very boosted rotary in it? Yeah, didn't think so.

In all seriousness, I see your point. I have seen a track prepped K-swapped Miata(not road legal, arrived and left in a trailer) at VIMC before. It was a crazy little rocket.
