    You could have saved thousands by just buying a square body Chevy, dropping an LS in it then installing mudders.

    Taking a Tacoma to a mudding event is like showing up at a shooting range with an airsoft

    Yup. You can easily offload them for $400 which pays for a good amount of your new tires

    Don't listen to these fools who drive their trucks like its their granny's prius!

    Sell those tires and wheels now, get a decent chunk of cash for em and go buy some MTs if thats what you want.

    Already saved thousands by inheriting this truck from a friend that died defending our country in Afghanistan smart guy. His wife gave me the truck because he and I were best friends. I gladly accepted it because she couldn't stand looking at it in the driveway because it reminded her of him every time she went outside. He always wanted to modify it but never could find the time due to being overseas most of the time. I told her her I would do my best to trick it out... thanks for your opinions though funny guy...

    You’re off to a good start of tricking it out for him. Also, don’t mind a few people on this forum....some people act like they're on a high horse with a broom up their arse.

    Do what you like and want to the truck, it’s yours after all :thumbsup:

    Geolanders 255/85/16 are pretty good in the mud. I think I paid around $1k for all 5. Balanced and mounted at discount tire.

    Just bought new tires for my 2020,,,and my truck doesnt arrive to the dealer until Oct 1 ! I figured easier to sell the OEMs the newer they are, so go for it now. And you know your OEM tires will last like 70k just to be jerks :).
