Finally Deciding to upgrade

Hello All. I haven't been around in a while. Been busy with work and traveling a lot. Now that things at work are settling down I have finally decided to upgrade some things on my 2013 and need some recommendations.

1. What upgrade Exhaust sounds the best, I know it's personal preference. Some of the setups I found on youtube sound just down right awful.

2. Also looking to upgrade Tires and possibly a small 2 to 3inch lift.

Would like some recommendations and also where to go. I'm currently living in Missouri City just 10 minutes from Pearland.

Thanks all.

 

I have Cooper ATPs on my 2011....




Happy with them. Good Tread, not to loud on the road.....

 

What kind of tires are you wanting. All Terrrians or Mud Terrains?

 

I was never a fan of v6 eexhaust sound. Well besides the v6 in the 350z lol. With that said.kept the exhaust stock.


How much money you're willing to invest in the upgrade, will determine what lift and tires you get.

 

I would stick with at tires. Somewhat better on gas than mt

 

Yes, AT tires is what I'm leaning towards. I really do like those Coopers. I saw them on another build thread and they looked nice. Some of the exhaust packages I have seen just don't sound right, with the exception of a few. As far as my budget I honestly haven't looked into it as there are so many options. If I had to put a number on things I would say around 2k including small upgrades here and there. Hopefully that's enough to work with.

 

I also have Cooper's in the ATP and love them.

 

Anyone ever tried the Good Year wrangler dura tracks? Was thinking about getting a set of those.

 

Buddy of mine has those on his FJ along with the black TRD wheels. Their nice.

 

There are a few threads about duratracs on tw

 

Just a heads up - that's a Hankook Dyanpro ATm, not a Cooper ATP.

OP - I love my TRD exhaust. Hard to imagine driving a Tacoma without it anymore. As far as tires, there are lots of good choices. I actually have the Hankooks pictured above, and have been really happy with those as well.

 

Goodyear Duratracs are an amazing tire. I have been using them since they were first released. I am starting to see more guys on here with them. I have a set on my Tacoma and a set on my Chevy Duramax. If you do a lot off roading and put on a lot of highway miles, these would be the tires for you.

 

Thanks for the info. As far as pricing and where to get everything installed, any local Houston peeps have a recommendation? Allout offroard is about a 7 minute drive just looking for various options. Hopefully $2k aside would be enough for everything to start.

 

Sounds like a mod meet

 

Doh, sure is, just grabbed a photo off of google...

 

How's the life on those tires?

 

50,000 I think. mine had 7k I think and they look new.

 

Not to bad. Now I just gotta find out who has good pricing and what lift to get. Been gathering ideas from the build threads.

 

Most will tell you to do 5100 Billies, and an AAL.

I am leaning to a full OME kit.
