GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

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.

 

I ran mud flaps on my 2nd gen with 255/80/17 on 8.5” wide wheels with -10mm offset. All with ~2” lift. I did have to modify the flaps for clearance, but it’s doable. All these trucks are different though.

I’m currently running modified mud flaps on my 3rd gen with 265/70/17. Should still be able to keep them on if/when I go up in size as well.

You may know this but 255/85/16 and 255/80/17 are essentially identical sizes for 16” vs 17” wheels. If one fits or rubs the other very likely will as well if all other variables are identical.

 

Jesus! Where have you been?
@TheUglyOne

 

Been busy with work. Hopefully I will have more free time here in the next month or so.

 

What tires were you running, and how much offroading do you do? There is a good bit of variability in that size - STMaxx is around 32.7", Ridge Grapplers are on the bigger end at 33.3". I did start to modify the mud flaps to fit but fucked one up so just took them off. Will make a bracket to mount them to the cab mount, eventually.

 

The smaller STMaxx.
No hardcore wheeling. Just general Tom foolery from time to time. Had them fully stuffed many times and never had any issues. Well at least not on the cab mount/mud flaps. I’d rub on the front bumper/plastic in some situations. Just never bothered to address it.


Below is my current set up. Same model mud flaps as I had on the 2nd gen, with similar dremel action. And my wheels are the same spec as the previous set, but on 265/70 currently. I’ve also got a semi mild CMC already. Should be adequate for 285/70 or 255/80. I will likely have to cut off the red boxed area on the flaps if I go to the 33ish range tire.

 

@CowboyTaco I think your previous comments where correct based on this thread.

Not sure that I had true water intrusion in the rear diff (after our water crossing) like i thought i might have had. According to this post anyway. It's clearly Milky (like you suggested) and mine was just black. I see what you where talking about after seeing these pics. I changed the fluid anyway just to make sure. Your input has been 100% accurate though. Talk Soon!

 

@HashTaco Who installed your spindles? I have a guy wanting me to do it, but I don’t have the time.

 

Have you done the breather mod yet?
