Slow Moe's 2016 SR 4 Banger 4x4 5 Speed Access Cab Build & BS Thread!

Nope only way to do that is go SR5 with a V6 to get the quicksand which is lame...... It would be kick ass to have a 2.7 base in that color!!!!

 

4 real!! I would have done it

 

I have a 2016 2.7L with a 3" spacer lift. I'm still running the stock 245/75r16 tires. However, I want to eventually install some Maxtrac 4" spindles, for 7" total lift up front, and a 4" or 5" block in rear. I'll probably try to squeeze some 295/75r16 onto my stock wheels, but I'm not sure how well they will fit the narrow OEM wheel. I may also consider some 265/75r16s, but I'm afraid they will look too small with a lift that high. My biggest concern, however, is power

 

Ya they might look a little small with that much lift, a 295 would be super wide.........I'd be afraid of rubbing a bunch on the cab mount....

 

That's a valid point. I really do not want to have to do any grinding. What about a 285?

 

You could probably easily get away with a 285 75 16 or even go a 286 70 17 for a lighter tire in a C load instead of the E rated 285 75 16!

 

How the heck does the wheel size make that big of a difference for tire load? That's a problem I had been running into was finding a lighter tire for my 16" wheel. I really love the look of the TRD OR wheels, but at 16", I'd be in the same boat. I may try to find some 17" wheels, then.

 

Well only 285 75 16's will come in a E rated tire which is a 10 ply for instance, but in a 286 70 17 there are tire manufactures that make that size in a C rated tire which is a 6 ply and is a little lighter than a 10 ply tire!!! So that will defiantly help the 4 cylinder out cause shaving off a little weight will defiantly help out the motor!

 

So here is a example @TPayneNFA

A LT285 75 16 BFG Ko2 Weights in at 58.6lbs each: A P285 70 17 Falken Wild Peak AT3W Weights in at 50.5lbs each:

 

New Headunit came for the Taco today!

 

Nice, I'm guessing some of those accessories make it work with the steering wheel controls, and mic.

 

Yep you can keep all the factory controls!

 

Got the Headunit Installed today! It's awesome, so much better than the OEM 6" Display my SR came with!

 

Where did you get these? This is a must do mod for me.

So last week I installed my new Pioneer 8200NEX radio and with that radio I figured you cant have the stock crappy Toyota speakers so decide to upgrade and got 4 new speakers! JBL GT7-96's 6"x9 3 way speakers for the front and JBL GT7-6 6 3/4 speakers for the rear. Sounds so much better than factory, it's unbelievable how a good speaker can make that much of a difference. All the tinny sound from the factory speakers is all gone!

 

With the performance parts you installed, have you noticed a difference in the power when accelerating? Did it improve enough to really notice?

 

The header and intake seem to make a noticeable difference especially starting out on hills and when you downshift its noticeable!

 

Cool! How would you say it "feels" compared to the power of the V6? I am just not that happy with the power of my 4 cylinder. I'd rather have the V6, but the GA state tag tax is keeping me from doing it. I would take too hard of a hit to the pocket to make it worth it.

 

Don't get me wrong, having a 6 would be nice but I'll take the bulletproof 4 cylinder motor over the 6 and all problems I've seen with them. If I need more power i downshift to a lower gear and put the pedal to the floor and it gets up and goes!!!
