Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

265/75/16's look great on Tacos! I'm actually a bit jelly that I can't run 16's.

Post pics once you get set up!

 

16s > better brakes. priorities

I did actually consider sticking with 17s in case I ever switch to a 4runner but the ultimate goal is to have both. Pics to come next Wednesday!

 

Looking forward to pics!

 

One of the finest 80s I've seen of late - should be an interesting one to watch:

They put a GM engine in and they expect to get more than 50 grand for it? I mean it does look good but...

 

I do love those wheels

 

Awww, it's so cute.

 

Bruh....

 

On Todays episode of fun stuff in the driveway......

 

Supported

 

Any video?

What degree are your sliders ?

 

Sorry no video, I'm bad with doing in progress pics and video.

Sliders are RCI 20 degree.

 

Best sliders on the market imo. Saved my bacon numerous times (including a nasty drop where my passenger slider took the weight of damn near the entire truck on contact)

 

Yep, mine took a few good hits and just scratched the paint. Solid product!

 

Can confirm that ALL of their armor is rock solid

 

Eh. RCI skids are the same as everyone else’s. No difference between brands. Same thickness, same design. Mine are all bashed to hell. All three need to be pulled and have a date with BFH. I wonder about the overly simplistic designs of the skids. Heavy thick metal without much real support. Just made to be easy bolt on to 4 stock bolt location.

Maybe it’s just me thinking about how fucking heavy my truck is and seeing interesting new stuff coming out that buck the norm.

 

Sure the BAMF skids have a little more internal bracing on the front bend.. and RCIs don’t, but that’s not where mine is bent anyways and I’ve taken a few hits there. Realistically all the aftermarket skids are about the same and offer about the same support and all weigh a ton.

My last Moab trip was a little rough on my skids/sliders/bumpers. So I’ve been thinking a lot about what it is exactly I want to do to make the truck more of a crawler. MOAR!!!! And sometimes more means less, less weight for example.

 

If you want less weight but still have strong armor @WarFab Armor makes some pretty stout stuff ask @TacomaDad18 . Whenever my truck turns into a full time crawler I might swap out for their armor
