    Tires are 265/70R17 and the wheels are just stock taco rims as far as I know, but I do not know the specs for those off hand sorry. They do sit pretty nice but I'm debating adding some spacers to poke them out just a bit more but I hear mixed things about them

    Too many... I can't just leave it alone.
    I just added an in-series transmission fluid cooler, did a flush and an oil change! Maxlife 5w30. Castrol Dex 3 ATF with lubeguard additive.

    Do you know what Toyota they came off of? I'd like to get rid of my spacers, but I'm having a hard time finding an alloy wheel with comparable offset and backspacing. But then again I'm running tall/skinny 255/80/17's so it's a little tougher.

    I think you're right, been looking around and they seem to appear to be these FJ wheels.

    They look pretty good, except the offset is +15 and backspacing is 4.9", so they also wouldn't work on my rig without the spacers. Not sure how they look so much further out on your truck :notsure:

    tbh I haven't even looked at my cab mounts yet. I figured there are already so many more functional things on my list right now...I'd rather not make it any longer :rofl:

    Good call on the OEM LBJs. For how long they should last, it's well worth it, imo, to spend more on the best parts.
    I don't yet have any lateral movement in the rack. Just front to back. At least, that was last time I checked haha. I should probably check again.

    Changed out my bad AFR sensor today and boy can I feel the difference. Truck idles and accelerates much smoother now. It's also nice to gain the 3mpg's I lost back

    Did your bad AFR sensor throw a code before you replaced it? I believe mine is still original, I should start paying more attention to my fuel trims.


    I just replaced all my torn up body mounts, added a trans cooler, and upgraded from the stock 15" alloys and 31x10.5s to some "16 FN Wheels Five stars and 265/75s. Tundra brake upgrade next week! :D

    Also curious about symptoms, besides 3mpg loss, that made you think to change it (unless you had a code thrown). I need to get under there and check mine out in daylight now

    Y'know if you added some protection on those rocker panels, a snorkel and an led light..... you'd have good looking truck. :)

    Twinning. I'm about to put a set of sliders on. Just bought a stock airbox so I could get a snorkel. Dude we're gonna have the same truck soon! Sick build.
