What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

The Auto boxes have ASSAULT mode? WHOA! 6MT gonna cringe ....

 

That's who manufacturers them. It just won't uave the oem logo. I had to replace mine about 2 years ago

 

I bought mine CASH. Now I miss retiring the loan.....;-(

 

I recently got a bit over 24 mpg coming west to east from Alamosa.

Gravity assist!

Been on them since March 2022. Previously had a set of wildpeak at's that I had really liked and ran as a year round tire. Live in Alberta so that's like at least 5 months of shitty winter city road driving to work.

The tire performs just as well if not better as the wildpeak does in the winter and that had me really surprised. It's still an AT tire and not a true dedicated winter, but it surpased my expectations of what and AT tire could deliver after years of running dedicated winters on other vehicles. I rarely use 4x4 in the city unless it's super ugly out and has just dumped and generally toss a few sandbags in the back for what it's worth.

The truck is a daily driver on the freeway and despite having a more spaced out tread pattern than the wildpeak they are no more noisier.

Offroad I had a great opportunity to test them out for what they are worth on a soggy overnight trip that was rained out start to finsih. Aired down they conform and grip amazingly for an AT tire and felt right at home on a wet, muddy, rocky cutline trail with many creek crossings. Can't wait to throw more at them. Will be interested to see how they do shedding the disgusting clay mud that can be found all to often around here.

Wear has been good and even so far as well after the about 15k km's I've put on them as well. They will be replaced by another set in 285/70/17 hopefully soon, though the new Yoko AT XD G017 will probably get a solid eyeballing before making that choice.

Have heard a few other guys around here comment that they are the best all around, all season to run for what we see and do.

 

Drop checked the front end for fun, needs some shock tuning thats for sure

 

Do you have another one for the taco?

 

Thinking we’ll be around $1600-1800 shipped to the lower 48 for the bumper. Still unsure on swing out pricing but the goal is ~1000-1200 shipped. Pricing together will be a little bit cheaper since they would ship together. Working on swing out design, bumper is pretty much done but the plan is to allow you to add a swing out later.

Perfection can be a curse sometimes. I may be biased but I think this will be the highest quality bumper out there.


All of my products go through 3-5 revisions even if it’s things most may not notice someone will and will appreciate it.

 

Did your truck's front valance come that way without the front license plate or did you a delete? Curious!! It looks really really clean

 

Awesome looking rows of dimes. You my friend are crafty .

 

Assuming his Tacoma is a “Sport” they come with the matching painted lower valance/bumper guard & fender flares as well.

 

Nice! What brand/where did you get the bed bars? Looks the bars would be able to allow a tonneau cover with the bars in place.

 

Feels great. I was happy with not having a payment anymore with the 4runner but couldn't buy a new taco outright, but created a goal and stuck with it. I could have paid it off sooner if we didn't buy a Leer 100XR and TRD "Beadlock" wheels lol

 

Hey when I got my truck, i went to look at it on Sunday and Monday I bought it. I told them to make sure not to mount anything or stick anything on the truck. Lol in PA a front plate is not required. I still have the front license plate mount sitting in my attic

 

Got these last week.

 

If I ever see you on the trail, I'll know I'm in the wrong place and it's time for me to turn around!
You have way more expertise and tools than I'll ever have. But I love seeing what's possible; thanks for sharing.

 

What is down by the plate? Water bottle or something mounted there?

 

But the TRD wheels are a must lol!

Oh what! Okay i'll probs try to look for an oem front valance and see if I can replace mine.

 

I used to use those same silicon sleeves for the OEM fobs too.
