What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

On my second set of MT's...love them to death think I've got like 30k on them

 

Before and after. Now LED. I love it!

 

Where did you get them?

 

@Blackdawg

Been meaning to ask.

I know both of your trucks are two completely different setups but I notice frank has 12.50s and Igor has 255s (10.50).

So which do ya like better overlanding/mudding/dd'ing/ect....

 

12.50s ya betch

 

Amazon

 

Added a JVC single din radio and a Kicker Bass station subwoofer. Sounds great!

Thanks, someone posted a helpful link earlier. That only allows the bottom two accessory ports to be on fun time though right?

Not the actual cigarette lighter port?

Either way I'm doing it

 

This is a long time debate. Skinny or fat?

Well now that i have both...

I like fat personally. Its much smoother offroad.

Turning is sharper with the skinnies though and power is better and better mpgs.

But i wont be running another pair of skinnies again likely. I like how the fat tires handle offroad and am happy to take the mpg hit for that. The float is great.

Others hate fat tires because the steering is almost hidden, it is not as direct and there is less feedback into the wheel. I don't like feeling every freaking bump in the road especially the small annoying ones and turning is more fun when its a little slidey i think

Its still very much a personal preference, mine is fat. Your's could be skinny

 

but but what if I want a tire that's right in the middle

 

lol go for it! Pretty much what 285s are haha

 

Yea that's what I'm running now.. looking to give some fat tires a try on the next go around though

 

Yep, I leave my radar detector plugged into the cig lighter so I dont have to turn it off when parked (usually 2 weeks/month at the airport). I use the accessory ports for my XM Radio (I use a Lynx and remove it when leaving my truck) and 3 Port USB outlet plugged in (2a each) so I can have power with the switch off. If I didn't have at least one switched, I'd forget to turn my radar detector off and return from a trip with a dead battery - don't ask me how I know, but my AAA pays for itself.

 

If the wheels I want fit....I'm going 12.50s ya goob.

What I wanted to hear

Really like the wide tire look....figured I'd ask

Anyone know if 15x10 fuel anza fit?

 

15x10s are WIDE. they make a 12.5'' wide tire seem super wide. You'll want very little back spacing and you'll be trimming the lower fender as well as a lot of hammering of the fire wall. Just cut the pinch weld off.

They do fit though. Tire will stick out from the fender about 2'' generally.

 

That's what I want.

I think they are like 3.6bs, I have 3.5 now with 17x9s. Probably grind the pinch weld off and have some fun with a 2lb hammer

 

I think i posted this pic the other day but for reference....yes, very wide

 

It would appear you have a hell of an oil leak aswell

 

Perfectly wide...
