What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

Great work and a lost art! The ads under the ice at our curling rink are hand painted and are gorgeous. I love seeing the brush strokes.

 

Drove it to work...

 

Just got back yesterday from a week long roadtrip through Cali and Coachella music festival. I got to stop in San Fran for a few hours and drove down to see the Bixby Bridge. On my way home I stopped at Crater Lake for my first time and it was well worth it.

 

265/70 should clear no problem.
It was the stock size on my 2013 Baja Package

 

Yes....but he's having issues

 

I got to go to Crater Lake last year for the first time.
It was almost a bust with all the fires they were having in and around the park.

This was the crater the first day


This was the next day.



I really want to go back when its clear and at least one time during the winter.

 

I just noticed its 17" rims.

Stock Baja Package was 265/70/16

 

- Relocated Trailer Plug (the original). Thanks @bullaculla
Nice meeting you and thanks for bringing your sick truck
- Installed Mobtowns Lockable Bed Storage. Thanks Joseph @Mobtown Offroad
- Installed the powered mechanism for the Pop & Lock.

- Changed oil (first time changing with fumoto valve, love it)
- Changed OEM intake air filter
- Refilled my bug washing fluid (really low, so much bugs)











This was a while back, but a photo I took on Mauna Kea when had snow.

 

Only have 2 stop lights between my house and the nursery. There was one rock I kept an eye on though. Couldn’t beleave I wasn’t sitting on my bump stops the whole time. These are factory leafs.

 

Okay. Based on the specs I can find for my wheels:

TRD SEMA Wheel
17x7.0
4mm offset
0" backspace?
LT265/70R17 Falken Wildpeak A/T3W

If this is the case, any suggestions on what I can look at?

 

How can I upload a video from my phone here?

 

If that's true, I was way off on the offset. I was thinking it was 30. Back spacing is usually calculated by the rim width + 1" ÷ 2. That would put it at 4".

Might be time to call in the real experts. If you haven't already, you should set up a thread in the wheel/tire forum. There are people there with way more knowledge than me.

nope was stuck in stupid ..focus was to get rolling back to AOAA....and yup your right...but I rarely believe in coincidence's....just filled up..then problem....dont want to jump to a conclusion...seems to be some similiar happenings documented on TW...but next time (hope not) will pull the codes

 

Totally! Don smith signs is the guy I learned from, he’s been doing it since the 70s we host a lettering workshop at my shop with him instructing

 

Factory leafs are a pile of crap. After my first trip with the weight in the back I upgrade to Dakar w/ add a leaf. One of the best purchases I made on the truck.

 

Upload it to YouTube and post the link

 

Welp. This is different....

Didn’t want to do it that way,but I’ll make it private....

 

How do the 63's do at handleing a load like towing a trailer or small camper?

 

Welp. This is different....

How much did it cost to get it installed? I’ve been debating doing the 63s for a while but just been learning towards Dakar’s and archive garage hammer hangers just because I know I can install it myself
