    You have a point with the price.
    But is the E vs C load rating, weight, and fuel economy worth it?

    And don't hate on my coffee. :duel:

    Do you need LT tires? They are available in P rated for way cheaper. Unless you're throwing your truck around like I am or starting a landscaping business the LT tires will be an overkill.

    You mean these?

    That's not something I had thought of. Looks like less ply? Wouldn't that be a durability issue?

    Not trying to argue, just curious.

    (I did just have two flats this weekend in Big Bend teaching the wife to drive.)

    Less load carrying capacity, won't hold up to sidewall damage as well at LT tires, but will ride better on pavement. If you are doing most of your driving on pavement and don't plan on serious off-roading P rated tires will work, but as you experienced P rated tires are more prone to failure off-road.

    I'm always looking to save money. But I think the SCS wheels are a good deal and they look good. I'm probably going to end up spending close to 2k from what I've seen in just wheels and tires. I'm doing search and rescue for a civilian group and we have training out in East TX where it gets muddy and sandy with that red sand. So mostly that. Not too much rock but mostly rough dirt/brush terrain. I've got a 4x4 sr5 that I'm slowly building up to take out there. The wheels/tires are next on my list so I'm looking around. My main concern was being able to put bigger tires and wheels on without putting a lift on it mainly to save money, but if I need to I'll do it.

    Don't really need a lift to stuff 33's under these trucks BUT you'll need to removed or trim the fender flares and the cab mount chop. I would suggest upgrading shocks for more flex but if your looking for bigger tires no lift its no problem. How big of a tire will depend on how much your willing to cut/trim

    After reading on here I ordered a Toyota filter, best bang for the buck.

    265/70R17 is the same size that comes on the truck but with a more aggressive AT tire it will look better or at 275/70R17 is slightly bigger. Both you should be able to get away with without a lift. Search here and you can probably find a picture of the tire/wheel combo you like on a 3rd gen.

    I use Rockauto for most of that stuff. Usually buy a set of filters (engine air, cabin, oil, maybe wipers too) for both the truck and Camry at the same time to save on shipping.

    For the cabin I go with the TYC. It's cheap and works.

    I've tried several different types, but I just picked up a Denso for the engine, and it looks nearly identical to OEM

    I have a K&N engine filter. Wouldn't do it again. Cleaning and re-oiling is annoying
