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

My truck mostly goes through fields & the yard. I like allterrains though & I already have plates for CMC so why not? LL

 

I work at Costco in the tire center. You really can't go wrong with that tire.

 

ive had Michelin Defender LTX Tires on my Tacoma in the past. They were a great highway tire. Good on dry, wet, light snow, and ice. Not for off pavement though. They are a nice ride and quiet. They also have the 3 peak symbol. 70000 mile warranty. I had P265/70R16. Costco doesn’t allow a larger tire for your truck, only O.E. Sizes. At least that is this way at my local Costco.

 

Depends on the costco... but generally yes, we're supposed to stay with the stock size. At my store we play it by ear a bit more, we have a bit of an off road Toyota crew in our Tire Center.

 

Installed a BAMF Hybrid this morning with the homie @Taco-Obsessed

 

Barely made it

 

Well hell. Can I be you first customer? lol

 

My good Traffic advisor came last week, this is the setup so far. Still got a couple more lights to install (my grille lights) and need to splice the dash light to the Aux light wires on my TA controller.

motown... that’s 15 minutes from me. Where did you find those for sale? Lol

 

Folks do the Satoshi’s or pro grills this works for me . Between the emblem and mounting lights in there I’m good

 

From 2nd gen classifieds here on TW

I only replaced mine cuz the grill was damaged during an accident when I lived in Pittsburgh lol

 

Haha a shed without siding... but I like this DIY hardtop idea

 

Thanks brotha!

 

I went with the LTX. I do lots of highway, but live on a dirt road with horrible drainage. I've found the tire awesome in every application, but I don't crawl or do aggressive offroad.

Last month I dropped a boat with a trailer into a pond without a ramp. This involved backing down a pretty aggressive grade that incorporated railroad ties and low rock walls to hold earth in place, prevent corrosion. I backed in and got out, and the comment of the property owner was that he couldn't tell where I had been. Used 4L and had no slippage whatsoever. Have I mentioned lately how much I love this f'n truck?

Bought mine at Costco also, and got a bit of pushback as i went from 245/65 (SR5) to 265/70, which is stock on a TRD Baja. This was the justification and they accepted it.

Costco tire purchasing is worth the price of membership on it's own, IMHO.

 

Granted I've only had it installed for a little while now but no I haven't hit the mic with my knee, honestly, I don't think I've ever hit that part of the dash with my knee anyway. I have caught the mic cable with my foot though so I need to figure out a better cable management situation. I'll only have the mic hung on the dash while I'm out wheeling/camping so probably not a huge PITA.

 

Love it. Did you plasti dip the lower bumper with that gray section? I find it pretty difficult to make parts of the truck "pop" the way the other colors do. Most other colors use black, but when you have a black truck it's a bit different. Great looking rig man!

 

Yes it’s grey plasti-dip. I have always liked how people with white Tacoma’s paint that portion black and wanted to see if I could do something subtle but still pop. I really like it and it’s not so entertaining you see regularly on black Tacoma’s.

 

I didnt think your truck could get any cooler than it was after you did the bob, I was wrong. Thats bad ass, I love it.

 

Thank you!! Just wait until you see what's next. Just bought a tube bender
