20 a tire generally. If you order thru a tire shop they throw you a bone on the install/balance usually.

 

^Yeah 1010tires is a shop with 2-post lift and tire machines. Mount and balance was free when I bought Subaru wheels and tires there many years ago

 

That's for 4. OP quoted 5. 5 would be $2140 after tax for just the tires

 

What's up yall,
I'd like to put some molle pannels in my bed and thought I should consult the oracles and their infinite and mysticle wisdom.

'08 long boy. Mainly just want the 2 sides, not too concerned with the cab side wall. Saw the rough country kit on Amazon for about 200, seems like a decent price, but definitely open to any cheaper/diy options. Will likely end up cutting out a piece so I can still run 2x6s across the bed to load sheets of plywood and drywall.

Main things I'll be securing are a shovel, snow brush, first aid kit, Jerrycan (sometimes), hatchet, and a hi lift once I get some sliders on.

Any opinions, builds, or experience is welcome, as well as any outside of the box ideas. (Or if there's anyone letting there's go)

Ps, bought a signal booster the other day. Anyone with experience or advice on install would be much appreciated. (Particularly where to mount antenna)

 

I have RA Motorsports full length side molle panels. They're more expensive than the RC but I think also longer and there are other sizes as well.

 

So those only mount in the rails? Id imagine because they're short height wise they still stay rigid with nothing securing the bottom right? I also have a cap and 4 cleats in that rail, do you think it would interfere?

 

I have a softopper with 4 clamps

I'm not going to say it's rock solid, but I've had shovels and whatnot without anything being unstable. I'm not sure if it would be ok with a hi-lift jack on it but I'm not sure you'd need a hi-lift to begin with. You could easily put some kind of spacer at the bottom to push against the sides if necessary. I'll admit I don't have much on them, though.

 

I'm not sure I've seen anyone go over the underside.

 

^Things included when you spend $$$$$ for a Limited non-hybrid in the US:
Temporary donut spare with 18x4.5" steelie
"Low-angle" CV axles
Aluminum driveshaft
Aluminum front diff torque tube
"Hairy cardboard" front splash guard
A-Trac that engages automatically without a switch

Since Limited is hybrid-only in Canada, some of these things may change when we see it in April. But it's like Toyota went out of its way to limit the off-road capabilities of the Limited.

 

If the tnga tundra is an indication it also has a chance at having 2 different CV lengths.[/QUOTE]

 

No one buys a limited to off-road with.

 

@somebody you just stuck "limited" badges on your sport truck, right? or am i thinking someone else?

 

Saturnine,3JOH22A: I like how you guys put the pic of your truck at the bottom. I'm going to copy you. thanks

 

no no no, thats def not me. I am not a re-badger.

 

I just used what I had on hand for now seems to be working,

 

You're correct. According to Google Maps, these two Limiteds are just cruising on Hydro Road S, Whitestone, ON P0A1G0



Next you're gonna tell me no one buys a Lexus to off-road with

 

I'm not saying they can't, I'm saying that that's not the desired outcome. It's like buying white shoes to mow the lawn; that's not the initial intent but it might end up happening.

 

^Yet people buy white golf shoes and football shoes all the time Anyway, it's possible some of the aluminum parts will be replaced with steel in the hybrid Limited models, to cope with the higher torque.

Looks like there's a steel bracket that can be unbolted from the cab mount to increase clearance. The truck shown in TFL's video is on 32s. Might be able to fit 35s without a CMC:

 

With a smaller tank and (from the video) worse milage than I get in my 19 it's already down about 100km in range (500km vs 600km total), those big meats will have you stopping for fuel often.

Curious how the turbo 4 does for trail/slow backroad economy.
