GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Hey Chris, the website looks great and so does the winch switch bracket! I enjoyed watching the install video - very straightforward install.

 

Love how easy shopify makes things when creating a business online. I like how you added the gallery section to show customer's pictures of install. The only thing I could see that may bother people would be the font. I personally like it and think it's easy to read, but in one of my marketing classes I learned to sticking to something simple and basic is always a safer route than going bold. But it's your website man, do with it however you like, just my small feedback is all

 

Thanks a ton for the feedback! Much appreciated

Thanks for the feedback man! I really appreciate it.

Did ya notice how the gallery photos were linked to either IG or TW?? Subtle little addition there...

I initially gave this a run with Wordpress and it was just too much for me. While Shopify certainly simplified things for me, I wont say it was a walk in the park; in fact I'm still figuring out its endless features Thanks for the font input! Definitely something I was thinking about...

 

I gotcha thats where I'm wondering if I should go up to right at a 32 and keep the clearance for minimal rubbing as ill be doing some spc upper control arms im wondering how some 255 85 16s would look I have a buddy with that size in a mud terrain with no issues. I have 265 70 16s and never experienced any rubbing issues except I am running a standard load tire and not an e load tire.

 

On my 2012 I have 255/80r17 on TRD pro wheels with a 2" lift and had to remove the front mudflaps, the mini flaps in front of the tires, and trim a tiny bit off the bottom of the front fenders near the cab mount, but no issues rubbing on or off road. With stock wheels I'd imagine you would clear even easier since they sit a little narrower.

 

Yup, my KM3 285s don’t rub nor do I have a chop. OEM TRD pro suspension.
I have also run KM2 255/85/16s with no run.

 

I actually wanted to ask you what size tire do you have on the 4runner? And did you change the suspension at all on it?

 

Burn it and bury it in the backyard! JK. I'll have some questions for you about the setup, but I won't ask them here. I like it for the most part. I can agree about the font, but that wouldn't necessarily be a deal killer. I like the non-standard aspect. The image of the truck looks slightly off-center. I'm assuming you'd have to use a photo editing software to crop it and maybe even lighten it a hair so that the text stands out just a little more. Maybe even crop out some of the dirt road and have the text above the truck.

I'd also probable reduce the grey space around the Adventure with Confidence. Lastly, I'd put the disclaimer and the links centered in their own space. Having the links at the bottom on the left and the disclaimer on the right looks odd to me.

Interesting. I wen't 255/75/17 just to be safe and see how much room I have. I haven't tested, but I don't rub. You're making me think I should have gone with the 255/80s!

 

It's blocked on my work computer....

 

Hmmm well I do have the stock 16 sr5 wheels wondering if a 255 85 16 would look good and fit well. I am looking into rrw wheels in a -12 offset

 

It's probably a "newly observed domain" which gets blocked by a lot of web filters due to spam and phishing sites popping up quickly. What webfilter / firewall is your company running? I may be able to get the classification updated.

 

I didn't notice that, but now that I went back I see you made the pictures links! That is super dope, especially for the ones linked back to the TW post, very good idea. Shopify basically does have endless features lol, that's the cool thing about them. Now all that's left is finding the right channels to bring your consumers to the website!

 

Not a clue haha

 

Man, heck yeah, thanks for that feedback!

Some of those things you mentioned are definitely limited by the theme that Shopify has that I am using. Im not familiar with html code to manually update it. I'll get in touch with you this evening or tomorrow evening when i have some time to sit down and dig into it a bit...

New domains will do that unfortunately... mine is the same!

 

TBH I kind of wish I had gone 255/75/17 instead. Yea the trimming was minor, but I liked having mudflaps to protect my paint and there are good tire options in that size that are 7-12 lbs lighter in C or D. 33.3" NRGs do look sick though, and on long road trips I can still get 20+ mpg, but around town I'm around 16 mpg.

Yea those bad boys are gonna rub, I'd be very surprised if you didn't have to do a CMC.

Also, any idea what web filter / firewall your company is using?

I'm getting about 17.5 mpg (mixed use) after calculating the difference in tire size from the odometer. I'm very happy with that, because I was getting closer to 16.8 with my last tires (265/70/17).

 

It is listed as a Business on Fortinet, who is used by a LOT of big companies that don't want to pay Cisco prices.

 

Not a clue…

 

I don’t have enough knowledge in all this yet to understand this

 

Since some business sites start up so quickly for Malware and the like, most places or organizations will filter out/block traffic for being accessed to stem the flow of possible threats inside the network.
