What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

6112s/5160s and Icon AAL installed. The 265/70/17 KO2s look a little small now, but they only have ~8k on them, so I'll wait a little while for 285s (maybe 305s). Great ride so far, but I'm a Bilstein fan (I put 5125s on my 78 fj40 earlier this year). Now I need to give the 40 some love ... oem wheels and 31" KO2s are next on the list.

 

I went with the skinnies because I dislike tires that stick out and I was thinking that the pizza cutters have the same “footprint” as the stock Goodyear’s and would have less rolling resistance while towing than fatties (that’s my thought anyways). .

 

Three weeks into my order, don’t drive yourself crazy.

 

I'm really starting to dig the skinnies.
That seems to be the stock OR Wheels.
Any lift?
What size pizza cutters?

 

Yea, spent a fortune since May on the 3”-ish lift and 255/85/16 Coopers.
They are the stock wheels this time around as I also have nitro 5.29’s, front locker, and Magneson on order.
Money tree in the back yard has been picked clean for this season.

 

In that picture the truck was stock. Just got it back yesterday and haven’t hooked it to the trailer yet. Here’s a view with the pizza cutters.

 

I don't like red vehicles.
This truck looks great. Well done!

 

What are pizza cutters?

 

Slang for skinny tires on the taco.

 

Yeah, for all of details take a look at https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-skinny-on-skinny-tires.529656/ .
I'm really considering some skinnies, especially for winter wheels/tire combos.
Just trying to figure out what will/won't fit with stock set up (and the skinny thread is incredibly long).

 

My neighbors 2005 has 60k on it. Some folks just drive around town. I had a 2000 Honda w/45k when I picked it up in 2016. Sold it w/148k in 2021.

 

Installed bilstein 6100s and 5160 in rear, icon aal kit and upca’s. Also threw on some 17 inch gram lights with -10 offset wrapped in 285 ridge grapplers*chefs kiss*

Appreciate this. Bought my truck used, so I'm still trying to learn about all this stuff. Gonna have to take note what tires I have now

 

Literally no idea what this means, lol--but looks great!
I totally need a Tacoma school course for all the things I see around here

 

Lol, yeah, I totally get it.
Tacomaworld has TONS of information, but it's really hard to figure out exactly where to find the information you need for a specific question.
There have been multiple times that I've read the information I need before and used both the "internal" search as well as the google site:tacomaworld.com keyword specificword otherword" sort of searches and have still struggled to find the information I need.
Also, be aware that not every post on Tacomaworld is 100% correct, so just because you find and answer, double check (this includes this post).

 

New toys from @MESO and @Diode Dynamics.

Chrome delete MGM, Ultimate Dome V2 (To Replace the V1 Red), New License Plate LED, Third Brake Light LED, and of course a heritage colored air freshener.

 

Just did 4.88's with the ARB up front. Assembled thirds are 100% the way to go. I was shocked when mine arrived in less than 2 weeks.

 

Really need a Tacoma 4-episode class course review:

From Chrome Delete to Pizza Cutters to light options and lifting

 

I run 245/70R17 in the winter. Stock height.


There's a couple other that are within 1 inch of stock that are also skinny
