I thought the sr wheels might be one inch skinnier than than the OR wheel

 

Wait, he bought her a vacuum

You can get these for doors (https://thinskinz.com/products/thinskinz-tacoma) They work quite well!

 

That limited grill looks great on blue. I’m partial to the xtrek. But magically diode dynamics lights fit the grill spaces perfectly.

 

New Mickey Thompson Baja boss 265/75 R16 decided to go up a tire size. Love how it came out. Will be nice when airing down I will be closer to where I was sitting with 265/70 R16 aired up! Also ordered a full-size matching spare for the bed

 

Some of the best looking (although heaviest) tires.

 

Well, at least you learned quickly…...

 

The OEM nuts for alloy wheels have a taper that will secure the steel spare safely. The assumption is that the spare is a temporary thing.
However, if you plan to use steel wheels full time, you would be better off getting dedicated lug nuts.

 

I just discovered that the rear tires on my tractor cross to 318/72- 15

Micky....get ready! ;-)

 

i thought the mag nuts worked on steel wheel because they were tapered, they just look kinda funny, i didnt understand all the concern by others and the steel wheels nuts are an acorn style too i think

 

I think it was @MGMDesertTaco who showed a picture of the two types. They are VERY close but not quite good enough match for long term use. To get one out of normal forest roads and mild offroading, yes, but get the right ones for long term use.

 

have you seen the nightshade grill?

 

Its nice and I wish i could get my hands on one. The chrome 2018 grill can be painted black but its just not the same and there isn't a way to integrate the front camera like the nightshade (i think?).

 

maybe thats why the factory puts temp use only sticker on the spare, because of the lug nuts, .....the spare wheel looks pretty stout to me

 

its my fav but kinda of a unicorn

 

I think so. Conical lug nuts are recommended for full time steel spare use. Not that I've ever had the steel spare fall off with the factory lugs.
