    Awesome setup, thank you.

    Is it heavy? How does the truck handle with it?

    I bet it is a fun squirrel in high winds.

    @Chipskip yes the camper is heavy (just a touch under 500 pounds). It actually handles surprisingly well, this is my second first gen Tacoma and I spent a lot of time and money dialing the suspension for the camper. I am running Dakar Heavies in the rear with two OME add a leafs, timbrens and Nitrochargers. It runs long washboard roads great which is what I do mostly. The only time that the camper is an issue is in heavy winds or off-camber situations. Besides that the truck handles it great.

    One of my rear wheel bearings gave up the ghost after 229,000 miles and a long dirt road with 3 people and a ton of gear in the back. The local mechanic in the town replace both the wheel bearings for next to nothing. He drove the axles 4 hours round trip to the nearest bearing press and was timely and super helpful. But being on blocks in Baja was not my idea of the fun start to a surf trip haha...

    The difference would be the width right?
    I cant stand the metric bullshit when it comes to tires

    285/75 r16 is roughly 33 tall and 11.25 wide. I have that size as do lots of folks on here. What you need to cut/beat down depends on what backspacing your wheels have. No matter what you'll have to take a big hammer and beat down a pinch weld right behind the wheel which isn't a big deal. I also had to cut some plastic off the fender liners, but each situation is different with the amount of backspacing your wheel has. Overall if you have 3.75-4" of BS it's not a problem to fit 285s
