    I’d go squared, and 9”, but a 275 is a helluva lot if tire…and a drag radial is pretty pointless without power, lol.

    Overkill much, oh yea. Lol Still looking at different tires in different sizes. But you do get more of a selection with 9" wide. For the record, I'm not drag racing my truck.. a bunch of us loop around the port at night on the highway so that's why im increasing my contact patch all around.. on a summer tire the widest I can come up with on this wheel is 245/40 Azenis but that would give me some stretch on 10", look better on 9".. I don't know if I'm good with that till I see it.. plus thats a fairly smaller tire than 275/45.. and this wheel is offered in 8" or 10" wide not 9. Working with will they fit when I come across tire options.

    Anyone use NPR oversized pistons before?

    What about KB black 9.7?

    Also spotted some real cheap high comp pistons for like $70 each.. from AA performance any luck with those? Idk if those are DNJ pistons

    So I found a newly opened Toyota only shop and excited like a kid at a toy store I pull over and check them out! Nice rigs everywhere including shells just laying around. I go to ask how much for specific work, nd the dude answered with a question...

    Is it a 4wd?

    I clearly ask for machine work since I seen they have a 3 axis mill and a lathe for the caps, a hone press and a lot of other goodies.. all engine work not even tryna bring my truck in just parts... He asked..

    Is it a 4wd?!

    I walked right out without saying a word. I'm perplexed and confused.. he said he was the manager. Hahaha mann oh man. Reasons why I do it myself.

    It's been a while since I even touched her, but I was at the autoparts store and seen this on a 40% discount, had to pick it up!! IMG_20241110_192104_01.jpg Since they stole my initial setup I had, I haven't replaced anything.. this is this first ..the most important I think! Haha know I need to order another high flow CAT with O2 bung already on it.. it's a classic 12x2.25 glass pack! This will pair well with LCE EFI Pro cam..
