Alabama thread!

Is everyone running a spacer for the drivers side lean or just cranking that coilover up? Didn't order one but thinking about it

 

I still have my pimp lean

 

Your truck? Or you?

 

both

 

They are rashed up pretty good. I really should wait until after MOAB to paint them, but...

I'm going to start looking for a light 17" wheel and some 34 MT tires. I'm not sure if I will keep my current wheels on the Falkens and the new ones on the MT's, but I will start doing the onroad/offroad tire rotation again. I rolled the dice on the P rated Falkens and lost. I don't want to regear right now, so the best compromise is have a heavy set for wheeling only. The Falkens have been good in most conditions and I wouldn't be worried about them at the slab or TNF type locations, but I don't want them at a place like AOP.

 

I adjust my coilover up.

 

Too long didn't read all the ish earlier... now gotta wade back through it and find ladyred's bumper photos.

 

Yeah i was not a fan of the Falken's when i had them. They performed poorly, rode like a MT and punctured easily. I sold them to a kid for $125 and wished him good luck. Now while the BFG KO2 has worn well and performs as it should off pavement and on, they ride like garbage. I will going to the Toyo MT in a 255/85r16 when i can afford them. I do drive my truck everyday but i only drive 35 miles round trip to work and back so i will keep the same ride and have a better performing tire. @Tralen has the toyo mt and they ride 10x better than my KO2's just a little more noise which is to be expected.

 

Toyo's mt is a solid tire, that'll look great too

 

Haha! Not a principal, I teach machining.

 

Do you teach at auburn university? I'm going into mechanical engineering, you may be one of my teachers

 

Did somebody try to turn a dildo or something on the lathe? Is that why you were in the principle's office?

 

Whats up guys. Have to stick my head in the Alabama thread. New to TW, just sold my lifted 1999 Silverado that had all of my blood, sweat and beers into for a 2015 TRD Off Road.

 

Good choice, welcome to TW

 

You gonna lift the Tacoma and put tires on it too?

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome to TW!

 

So does this mean I'm not the new guy anymore then?

 

Eventually, Coming from my old truck to a stock height is different. Thinking of leveling with adjustable 5100s and going from there.

old vs new

 

That'll look good, if you get a leveling kit I bet you could fit a 255/85 with no rubbing at all. If you aren't into skinnies though and want a 285/75 you're probably gonna need either spacers or rims with 4.5" backspacing and will need some trimming and maybe a cmc
