Bombin whoops or jumping?

 

neither, just finished my bamf relocation kit in the rear and decided to run vegas back to barstow offroad. about 120 miles of unmaintained, maintenance/ fire road and when i got back into barstow and at a fuel stop on pavement, i noticed it. scared the sh*t out of me cause i still had about 150 miles of pavement to get home and i was flying solo. no noticeable big hits or anything, but getting back on pavement after my firs test of my rear end, i certainly was checking the truck out and found that.

since replacing the front end, i have hit whoops and jumped the truck out in pismo. happy with the results of that and know what my boundaries are

 

I was just in your build reading.

 

The shop called today and said my Kings were in. Build date is Friday. New bushings inner and outer tie rods ball joints UCAs front coil overs and rear shocks.

 

yep.. i like to find the limit of what my truck can do, and then frequently get close to that line. second tacoma, i am more frequently harder on this one, but learned the boundaries from my first one, and how to get a feel for what they can do. these trucks are amazing and can take more of a beating than most of us think, but you must respect, that at least in my case, most of the time, your truck is also your way out of the trail and home

 

Daily driver, most of us deal with that.

 

yup, unfortunately, got rid of my secondary transport about a year ago to pay off some bills and put a little into the truck. leaving the truck the daily driver/ race truck/ weekend warrior/ toy that still needs to get me to work on time on monday morning......lol

 

Used someone else's before I got mine.... 2 years, haven't used mine.... but like many items, rather have and not need, than need and not have.

 

Im not going through Geico. Infinity is doing it all. Well see what happens when Monday comes around.

I'll check out nadaguides. Thanks dude!

 

Yeah man! So far so good. I absolutely love them. They are great with just about anything when aired down. They do struggle with thick mud but it's not a mud tire so I can't complain about that. They are well mannered and not loud at all. For my next daily I'll probably go r/t but for this 4runner Imma go m/t next because why not haha I definitely love them more than the duratracs I had before. Those were.. sloppy.

 

not to put up fighting words, but i ran duratracs for 35k miles and loved them. a buddy with his 4runner ran them 65k miles. I love mine and have loved mine for the last 65k miles between 2 trucks. best a/t tire that can handle snow/ ice/ mud that i have run to date

 

I wish I had the time and knowledge that most of the people on TW have about vehicles. I could save so much money. But it does inspire me to try and look up new information when I can.

 

look up and ask as many questions as you have. no better place to have questions

 

@iJonny @snowtank @Moose1988 @StOrMyThEtAcO

 

Thanks. You have done a great job with your truck.

 

I have heard/seen nothing but terrible things, unless you are in the snow 80% of the time, and are okay will minimal life out of them.

I'm still loving my hankook mt's. I'll be getting another set in a few months here

 

Just follow the below advice. What you want to know, look up. I find that someone has done it before. Then if you have further questions after searching info, ask.

 

thanks you very much

 

I'm not one to fight over tires man. They were awesome in sand and I hear they are even better in snow. But for everyday driving they were bouncey and never balanced right. They just felt awful. I noticed a huge improvement in street driving with my toyos, they are comfy. Everyone has their preferences. Maybe I just didn't have the right rim because I swapped those too. Oh and I didn't like the sidewall cracks I got.

 

I'm glad @Rextinkleton93 steered me away from the Duratracs

2k miles on my K02's...I know all new tires feel great but I love them so far
