GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Yes, there are Toyo and Nitto tires made in GA, Just can't remember which ones. I am pretty sure the Nitto Ridge Grapplers and some other are made here.

 

Now you just threw me a curve ball. At this moment in time, one needs to support US owned. But then again BFG employs a lot of workers. The irony!

 

I know that Nitto is owned by Toyo and that some or most of their tires are made in Cartersville GA.

Found the code on the tires: TOYO TIRE NORTH AMERICA MANUFACTURING, INC. 73 WHITE GA UNITED STATES

I did find this article on the plant up near Cartersville.

General Tire is also made in America. At least the AT2 set that is on my truck is listed as made in USA.

 

Per Google:
Continental Tire, a subsidiary of a German company, makes tires in five states: Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas and Illinois. General Tires are now made by Continental. Yokohama, another Japanese multinational, manufactures tires in Virginia.

 

I think I may step my tire size down a bit. From a 285/75/16 to a 265/75/16.
The tires are stuffed up in there a good bit when loaded, and I think I wanna give myself a bit more wheel well room.

The trailer could also benefit from coming down a bit in height. I have had this thing jump around a bit and you know it’s there.
It also sets higher than any of my trucks and is a bit jacked knifed unless I load it fully with 30gal water and wood.

 

Haha, I apologize if I started somethin’.

 

Lol..look what you have done!

No all my trucks have different tires sizes on them.

 

The Guilt, the Shame.

 

You bastard. Now I am gonna replaces every tire I have with a 35x12.5r17!

 

Hope you buy a non-import.

 

Ok,Ok....just just leave it at White letters IN or OUT and call ‘er good.

 

This is how it sits on 285/75/16.
It sits higher than my trucks with these.

 

Get a hitch that you can flip around and adjust the height on. That way you can have a level trailer.

 

I thought of that. The real issue with that is I won’t be able to drop my tailgate if the trailer is attached.

 

That is a good point. I will need to look into that; well, when I make the trailer I want.

 

Let me know when your ready.

 

Lift the truck more?

Nah, I support going smaller on the trailer.

 

Still need to get some use out of these shocks before I pull them. But it won’t be long. I am working the hell out of the leafs.
Gonna be getting a set of Deaver Stage 2/3
