2016 Tacoma SR5 upgrades

Just throwing this up there. Recent upgrades to my Tacoma 2016 SR5.
285/70R17 RBP M/T
TRD 4Runner wheel 17x7
With a 3" spacer lift in front and 1.9"block in back .

 

Just needs a long bed and you're set

That aside, looks real nice. Consider blacking out the badges or do you like the chrome?

 

Yes long bed would be nice but this works for the moment.. Oh blacked out badges would look nice. I'll give it a go.

 

Looks great. Any rubbing?

 

Hey mds08, no rubbing at all, I had a huge concern about that also especially with these bigger 285 mud tires. But these guys at 88Rotors assured me that with the 3" space lift there wouldn't be any rubbing. https://youtu.be/NaUIDc5dEnQ they run this set up on about 10- 20 tacoma's a week and it's pretty legit.

 

Your on the 4 runner SEMA wheels?. That is what I'm on but with 265/70s. Im lifted as well but some day rubbing can happen if your using SEMA wheels and 285s. Have you done any off road flexing?

 

Oh really? No haven't done any offroading just yet, but I'm sure at some dips and bumps I may get some, yes I do have those 4Runner wheels. how high are you lifted?

 

2.5 front and 1 in the rear. Then about an inch more on 265/70s. I really like the 265s because I just don't want any issues, speed odemeter being off or loss of power and mpg.

 

Woow Nice tacoma!
I got a 3" in front a and 1.9" block in the back.
As you can see there is a good gap between the tires and the wheel well. But I will keep an eye on it when I take it offroad. Thanks for the share, I have been meaning to get a side step like yours. Looks good.

 

Thanks, I have done some nice upgrades, like 5100s, 1/4 shim for the lean, ECGS clamshell bushing, OEM Pro grill, garnish, TRD CAI, Pro exhaust and skid plate, tint, speaker upgrades and dyno matted the interior. Its super ass quiet inside now, Clazzio leather with heated seats, Homelink rearview mirror, Remote start. I think I'm done, maybe going tho sell the predators.

 

Woow those are some solid upgrades. And your truck looks pretty cool. Are you looking to do any more upgrades.

 

Not at the moment but maybe replace the chrome emblems with some black ones. I'm getting ready to do the 5100s, Toyo open country at2 SL rated tires and SEMA 4runner wheels, pro exhaust,TRD Cai, pro grill on my son's 2018 grey dcsb sport. He has the Clazzios, tint, bug shield and vent visors plus remote start. Pretty much same as mine.

 

Nice! I can't wait to see your mods!!

 

Another quick up grade. TRD Pro Grill.

 

Awesome looking truck man! How is the ride with the lift? I’m looking to do something similar with my truck but I’m hesitant to start messing with things and it ends up riding like a tank.

 

Honestly it rides very similar to stock. It's higher with lift but still runs the same. Only thing is the gas MPG gets drainsed faster, but for myself its worth it.what do you have? What are you looking to do? Tires, wheels and lift makes a huge difference.

 

My truck is currently riding on 275/70/17 E load KO2’s with the 4Runner SEMA wheels, so my MPG is already shot. I’m not really too worried about mileage as my company pays for my gas. The tires rub the slightest amount if I hit an incline just right while turning and I think a small lift (2 inches or a bit less) would clear it right up. My last Tacoma had a full Fox setup that I loved but I really don’t have any desire to start swapping suspension components on a brand new truck, so that has led to me to considering small spacer like you are running. Like I said, I’m just worried about compromising ride quality as I drive a lot.

 

I got a
- 3" front spacer and a 1.9" rear block,
- with RBP 285/70R17 M/T on the
- Sema TRD wheels.
the guys that did the work, do about 10-20 Tacomas a week with this same setup and assured me of no rubbing. so far there is nothing, even on some curb turn ride overs I have done,
here are them working on my truck and other tacomas just to get an Idea of the various setups that can be done.
