What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Ahh but most of that weight is nearer the leaf spring. All the same. I get it now. I have my spare in the bed. Think I’ll move it to the right a tad. Lol.

 

Hope you sell them locally cuz freight costs are thru the roof. I know I work for Such a company. No one is shipping a lot these days. We are usually quite busy. But it’s been slow for weeks now. Could be the wait an see aspect for now. But the rates won’t go down for years the damage has been done.

 

Correct. OEM size was 265/70/R16 -- 30" diameter
These are 265/75/R16 -- 32" diameter.

When my OEM Duratracs wore out, I went to the 32" so I could get a slight height increase, but would not need to do the CMC or full suspension mods to ensure 33's would clear everywhere.

 

Looking GOOD! Are those LT tires? What rating did you get, E ?

 

Depending on the tires themselves I think the actual measurement is 31.7”. At any rate, I have the same size in the bfg ko2. Trd pro rims, bora spacers. Trd lift, 2” up in the front, but the stock springs have been compromised by the weight of a hidden winch, sliders and dual agm batteries. (I have ome 886, waiting to buy some billie 5100 to alleviate this). So anyways It rubs at full lock in reverse when I back out of my former in laws driveway. I think a little heat gun action will be the satisfaction.

 

Nice!

I’m liking my Maxxis Razr AT’s after running them for about a year. Stock size 265/70/16.

 

I had a 2008 Tacoma that I went with those size tires to gain a bit of height ( 265X75X16 ). Level ground no issues but at a turn with a depression I got rubbing or if the ground went up as well in a tight turn. I got a 2020 now so staying with stock so I do not have to purchase a new spare with the correct height as well.

 

Never thought of using a heat gun on a driveway before. Huh.

 

~Well I figure if I give that driveway the coaxing it needs then I’ll be all set.

 

Now that I think about it, it would be great fun to mention to my in laws something they have is wrong and I could fix it for them. I could plug the gun into the bed outlet and watch them twist there heads in disbelief.

 

You did mention ex in-laws correct?

Sorry. Yes, ex

 

Today, I Installed a FitcamX CarCam with front & rear camera! Less than an hour an it was done, pretty easy job

 

Those look sharp; would love to know how they handle the snow and ice but if your truck is in FL I may be asking the wrong person. The also resemble the GY Duratracs in the picture; I had them on my 4Runner and loved them for off-road and snow, but they were quite slippery on ice (yes, I'm prepared for snarky comments about ice actually being slippery).

 

Well in that case maybe a… nevermind.

 

Finally finally I put these on! They look even better than I could have imagined

 

It really doesn’t matter what the surface is snow ice tires. It’s all irrelevant. The weight ratio per square inch is too lean. Our trucks will slide no matter what brand tire you have. Unless you drive responsibly under the posted speed limits.

 

I'm in the PNW and a spend my weekends skiing and mountain biking. I plan on posting a review once I have enough experience with them. I'll be drawing comparisons to the k02s and Wildpeaks I had on my 2nd gen.
