What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Okay...I’m definitely still kicking around that option. Thanks for the input...much appreciated!

 

Spooled the new winch up tonight with 1000lb tension and it works perfect. Just have to put the front Bilteins on and new tires.

 

Added 1.5” Bora wheel spacers. Had to do a little trimming due to rubbing while turning into my inclined driveway.

Setup: 2” front lift, 1” rear lift. 275/65/18 (32”) BFG KO2’s, Raceline assault 18x9 -6mm offset wheels.

 

Everyone starts somewhere. I too started with spacer lift so I could afford wheels and tires. Later upgraded lift and still working on it...lol

 

Most shops in Portland do the alignment with a lift, I worked a Toyota dealer for 5 years and they put revtech on all the pre 18 taco's. I never saw or heard anything about 1/2 inch off? Is it side to side or front to back? I could see front to back. I am no expert though!

 

I recently put 265/70/17 KO2s on my truck and I'm having an entire truck shaking kind of feeling at around 50-57 mph. Any thoughts?

 

I just had 265/70/17 Nitto G2'S installed. My steering wheel was off to the left and when I would drive over pavement to concrete or painted road I would hear a sweak from my tires. Had it aligned yesterday, drives a lot better. I would think a shimmy or vibration on the front end would be wheel out of balance?

 

After being a Dodge diesel truck guy for 15 years, last week I bought my first Toyota Tacoma. Added mud flaps tonight and a rubber bed mat.

 

Nice! Welcome to TW!

 

That's what I'm kind of thinking. Will out of balanced tires ware unevenly?

 

We all start somewhere, look up the OVTune thread here on Tacoma world, you will be amazed at what you can do to your Tacoma

 

I agree. Much more beautiful in person than the pictures I took. You're lucky that you live in such a beautiful place. Our son lives in Clearwater area and his fiance 's family lives in Naples. They are getting married in November so we will be headed to Naples then. Won't be as warm but still looking forward to returning to that area.

 

The last few weeks, I've done a number of things: Warn semi hidden bumper with winch, Rancho steps, Freespirit roof top tent, 255/85/16 Cooper ST Maxx tires and OEM 888 coils with Dakar leaf, RCI skid, Cali Raised ditch lights.

 

Welcome
You made a great decision on the truck. Mudflaps and bed mat..........so it begins

 

If you're on a dirt road rutted out its normal

Just kidding don't listen to me I dont know anything... the only mod Ive done is a sticker on the back window that says dont touch... haven't driven it since...

 

I've read that KO2's can be hard to balance. Wherever you bought them from should check them for free? I have them but haven't had any problems yet..

 

Thank you all! I will most certainly be interested in the OVTune... used to do some diesel truck pulling so I can't help but pursue more power, lol...

 

Thank you for the warm welcome!

 

Got my leather installed Friday.



Also had heated seats installed and also some Liqui-Cell in the seat bottoms. Hopefully the Liqui-Cell will help the ride some when traveling off pavement.

 

I did spacers at first, then I went with Billstein 5100’s all the way around and OME 887’s. Much better ride!
