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

Figured out my truck came with e range tires. Aired up to 50psi to see how that felt. Pretty harsh... 250miles of different types of roads later, I have learned several things:

1) E range tires are total overkill for me. Wish I had a lighter AT/ passenger tire.
2) 30-32 may be the most comfortable range with no additional weight over stock with these- bridgestone dueler 265/75/16 E range
3) 34-38ish is probably where I will cruise them as long as I dont see indications of unusual wear. Firm but not harsh feeling on OME nitrochargers w 884's on a double cab with 300-500 lbs weight over stock.

 

Ikr. Too bad its going to be coming off here soon I've got something better going on here soon

How tall is that lift?

 

I have had my e rated tires on now for 50,000+ miles and they have worn great and ride well. I keep around 37 in the front and 35 in the rear

How much weight you think you have over stock? I see your front bumper in your sig there...anything else?

 

Plastidipped the grill and emblem white. Really didn't like the chrome for the OffRoad. Is it perfect, definitely not. Is it much better than stock? I think so. Seems to be sticking fine. 6 coats of white and 4 coats of gloss.

Aluminum front bumper with an Engo 9k winch, full skids, sliders, and rear bumper with swingout and matching spare. It's not real heavy but has some weight added.

 

I asked if they could do it behind the plate. Normally it was mounted underneath

 

thats a good look nice!!!

 

When they white starts looking dingy, and it will, Rub some mother's cleaner wax on it and it'll brighten right back up then hit it with some detail spray and it'll look fresh again

 

Will be interested to know how that impacts performance and fuel mileage after you get past the wanting to step on it constatntly to hear it/feel it.

My front clunk is LCAs. I really wish I would have kept my OEM ones.

 

Good to know! Thanks

 

Cool

 

Busy day today: Color matched the grille surround, mirror caps, and painted the "taco" letters khaki. Very pleased with the end result!

 

Got the sliders installed!!

 

Looks awesome man! Love the "taco" color

 

Thanks! I really like it as well, I have a feeling I’ll be using that color for other small accents around the truck. We’ll see.
