Rough morning.

I spilled coffee all over my crotch this morning and hit a center median on my way to work.. :o



I did some looking around on CL.. did some thinking and ended up ordering a set of Fuel Hostage wheels in 17x9 so I can use my current tires.



They should be mounted up tomorrow or Friday at the latest. Expensive coffee spill.

Not a great way to start your day that's for sure , but wheels can be replaced and you didn't waste any time Doing that I see lol. Glad it wasn't worse.

But most importantly... How's your crotch..

I would be leery of that tire too. Good possibility that it had damage internally.

They got the wheels in yesterday so I had them mounted up last night. I did have to replace both of the tires because they had cuts through the side walls. My alignment was jacked up too.

Here are some pics, 17 x 9 Fuel Hostage with -12 offset. 265/70R17 Toyo MT's and it has a 2" leveling kit.






I have some black painted headlights with smoked reflectors that I am going to seal up on my lunch and let dry. They should be going on tomorrow.


My beans are cool, but I do have a burn mark on my right inner thigh/groin area.

Looks good, but how about a new front bumper!
BTW, those rims are my new favs in black...

A new front bumper is in the works. It was going to be my next purchase until my "incident"..


My seats are pretty stained up from the coffee that was left in my cup after the crotch spill flying all over the place when I hit the median. There are coffee drops all over my passenger window, pass door panel, pass seat, dash and center console. I am going to give the whole inside a good scrubbing after work today.


Larger tires will happen when funds allow, I reused 2 of my old tires.


Thanks fellas!
