What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Man I remember when I hydro planed in my truck. Probably the scariest feeling ever

 

Me this winter

 

Ouch

 

perhaps you should slow down in hazardous conditions..

 

Hit a shallow puddle on a clover ramp doing 35... shit happens and tires are kinda junk at this point. The winter one was black ice in a bend on a freshly plowed and salted road

 

more skinny pedal

 

that was my next point. Your tires in both photos look shot. Get some new ones.

 

I’m much better at this whole drifting thing on dry pavement lol

 

On my list. They have about 35k (I think) on them. Looking at the wildpeaks. Anyone have suggestions?

 

Break your driving habits down

How much pavement and shit.


I liked my st Maxxs pretty good

 

I like Goodyear. I have a more highwayish tire, the Wrangler Fortitude but I imagine the Trailrunner All Terrain and DuraTrac are excellent as well. I took mine through a really bad storm (I was traveling with the most red part for 2 hours straight, bad timing on my part) they did excellent on washed out roads going through mountains. Some parts were completely flooded, never once did I feel a need to blame bad handling due to my tires.

 

Mostly highway currently but that could change since I’m almost done with school and could potentially afford a better daily. My dad and my friend both have the Wildpeaks and like them but they are also in full size trucks. They handle great though.

I’ll look into them. I do mostly highway and backroad driving so it’s not like I need something for rock crawling or anything.

 

I like my wildpeaks, so far they haven't given me anything to complain about. I got a set of 5 for roughly (under?) 700 from discount tire on ebay.

 

Load range C I assume?

 

These tires are much older than what the PO lead on. 46th week of 2014. I bought it the 50th week of 2016 at 238k and have put 30k on it. He made it seem like he had just bought brand new tires. They have some dry rot happening as well which I knew of but was hoping to get until October or so with these but the sooner the better I think.

I had a set. Great tire!

 

Before wheeling season starts?
I didn't know it ever ended.

 

I live in Alabama and wheeling season never ends for me.

 

@Teke Es, actually. They sold out of the Cs during the sale. I decided to give them a shot. Stiff, but handle very well and seem to work nicely with the OME suspension. Much nicer ride than when I bought it.

Ran them at 24 psi all weekend in the mountains, felt pretty good. Gonna drop a few psi next trip. Running around 36 on the pavement right now.





Anyone have experience with this tundra 13wl kit from Callahan?

 

They don't even make the 15s in anything but a C or LT I guess. I'd love to get into some 16s to go to a tundra brake setup but that's even more money that I don't know if I'm committed to yet. Debating if I want to stay with the 33x12.5 or drop to a 32x11.5
