SCHMEGGA'S '08 Black & Silver Build

Stock height with 265/70/17.

 

I have heard a lot of good things about the Dynapro's, so how well do they ride and how about the noise from them?

 

I expected them to be considerably more noisy than the stock tires. However, I can barely tell much difference. They may be a little bit, but not enough to even worry about. As far as the ride, they are soooo much better. Much smoother on the freeway. Although I will say they do have a little bit more of a "floaty" feel to them, if that makes since. But the traction is much better. Both from starts at stoplights and just driving around. I highly recommend them so far. Granted I have only had them for 2 weeks, and the truck for 3 weeks, so I can't claim to be an expert on them yet. LOL! I like them a lot though.

 

Perfect! Thanks mate. That's the exact same tread size I'm putting on in a couple of months! Can. Not. Wait!

 

Painted and installed my new cross bars from ATO. These things are amazing. Will have more pics with the kayak mounted on Tuesday or Wednesday next week. Here you go for now.

You work fast. Nice looking truck. Those ATO bars looks awesome, how much were those? I looking for in bed setup to carry my snowboards for this coming winter. Having it on the top rack kills mpg.

 

$150, which is what Toyota used to want for theirs, and these are 5x the bars of those. It was $35 for shipping, for GT of $185. Worth every penny. Should get my kayak racks on Tuesday. Can't wait.

 

Where did you get the third brake light cover?

 

From SockMonkey. He does tons for guys on here. Here ya go: SockMonkey's Vendor Page

 

nice truck, can i ask what camera you're using?

 

Nikon D300s. Here is my flickr page: SCHMEGGA's Flickr Page. Just a hobbyist, but love doing it. Haven't been doing much lately though.

 

Hey, truck is really nice. Lovin the build. What exactly do you have to trim to run those tires and wheel setup?

 

Got my Thule 835Pro Kayak racks installed on my ATO bed bars and got the tailgate debadged. The kayak installed on the bars is as solid as a boulder. No movement at all at 70 mph down the freeway or making turns at breakneck speed.

Have I mentioned just how much I love the bed rail system in the Taco?

 

Nice looking truck.

 

Thanks, U2. Like those Cooper's!

 

Nice looking rig man.

Have you driven off road at all with the 1up hitch rack?

 

Nope. Don't do any off-roading. May be a little later in summer when going to Mason to get in river. If you are wondering how solid it is, I will just say it feels as if it is attached straight to the truck frame!

TRDSport253: I just had to remove the front mud flaps and trim about an inch of the innermost piece of fender. Nothing that would ever be noticed unless someone went digging under your truck.

 

Thanks. I have seen them up close before (friend has one on his volvo) and agree they feel solid. I would love to hear about any first hand experience if you do eventually get it off road. I thought I had heard that 1up does not recommend it, but then I think that is the party line from all manufacturers when it comes to hitch mounts off road.

 

Will do.
