What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I always have to keep my eye out for 701. So far you are the ONLY other Tacoma I have seen with black 701's. I've seen one Tacoma with a set of bronze 701's, but nobody else with black until right now!

 

If I could, I would. Stolen off a Google search. Lol

That thing is beautiful dude...

Airsoft gun. Nuff said.

 

Hot sauce and chewing tobacco are some things they don’t like. I’ve seen a seagull swallow a pigeon.

 

Thanks guys. Tires are 265/75/16 (Duratracs) on stock suspension. Gonna upgrade the suspension eventually but I still have to add skid plates, roof rack, front bumper etc. so waiting to add some more weight before swapping out the suspension.

 

Gotcha Gotcha. It might just be the angle, but your tires look way bigger than stock, almost like they're 33s. Must be the angle or something. I'm in the same boat as you. going to upgrade eventually, but I need to do skid plates, front bumper, lighting, and some other stuff before I lift it. I also have another 40,000 miles to go until my KO2s are dead, so I have a little bit of time to do everything else first.

 

Ok, that's nasty. And really funny.

Making me regret my 265/65 tire choice. lol

 

Same here. I'm running 265/65/17 right now, and the only reason is that my factory tires were literally showing wire through, so I needed new tires ASAP, and the ONLY size that they had that would fit the methods I got was a set of 265/65/17 KO2. Lack of planning on my end is really biting me in the ass right now, and I have to live with my consequences for the next 40,000 miles.

 

Thanks man! Good to know.

 

Waiting on Method 705s.. should be any day now. I was really nervous about what size would fit.. so I defaulted to the stock size. I don't have a lift.. so I figured I'd be safe there.

 

Definitely not a bad idea at all. Some people say you can fit 33'' with no rubbing, some say you can't, so on so on so on. Stock size, you'll also get way better mileage. Definitely something handy to keep in mind if your miles are mostly highway/travel miles. One of my friends has an almost carbon copy of my truck, except his is on a 3'' lift with 35'' tires, and he's averaging 11mpg on the highway, and about 9 around town, while I'm on stock size, and I'm getting around 20mpg on the highway, and about 16-17 around town. Since I put the methods and KO2s on about 6 months ago, I've already slapped 12,000 miles on the truck, so my fuel savings is going into the penny fund for a new front bumper and lights!!

 

Not saying that the mileage is the end of the world, because obviously bigger tires look way too good, but it's definitely nice not spending literally twice the amount on gas whenever I drive anywhere.

 

With 35’s a regear and ov tune are in order…

 

I bet the hot sauce makes their poop eat the paint off a Taco.

 

When I was in college and poor, I had rusty tires! No joke, they actually rusted. (because the steel belt was showing.)

Bumper and sliders for me. I have a look in mind, and it is simple.

You are absolulutely correct. I even paid close attention to wheel and tire weights in comparison to what I was looking at. Never found any decisive weight foe the stock wheels though. But, the 705s being 26 odd pounds, and the Toyos OC AT3s being close to the same weight as the factory tires, I should be good.

That being said, I'd like to actually use this thing.

 

MGM mirror caps bought from another TW member. Like the subtle difference, and goes nicely with the wheels and shell

 

Diamondback also sells their own towers to go on their bed covers for tents and such

 

I just liked how the 701's looked the best! I'm trying to go with a relatively low profile setup, around 2'' lift, 33'' tires, and a low-profile but beefy as hell front bumper with some hidden lights in it, and some underbody goodies too. I love how the crazy overland builds look, but at the end of the day, it is my daily driver, and I put a LOT of miles on it. I would go 35'' tires, but I don't want to have to spend the money just to spend even more money on getting it fully regeared and tuned just for it to be drivable with 35''. Maybe someday when I win the lottery I'll say fuck it and just go berzerk and get every mod that has ever been mentioned on this site.

 

That's a pretty sick color scheme with the MGM shell, mirror caps, and rims. Looks high and tight!!
