A New Offroader Seeks Advice

Moved to 1st gen section ^_^

 

You might get more pertinent responses on the 1st gen Tacoma section.

 

posted in the wrong section...

 

Lol good first try, but you have a 1st gen, this is the second gen section. More so, you are asking us to basicially build a truck for you, which is impossible seeing how we don't know your finances, what you want to do with your truck how extreme you want to get ect. There are so many different off road things you can do, lift tires armor lighting radio com expo gear t cases gearing lockers, and the list goes on. The old adage continues, look around at different people's trucks, see what you like, ask some questions do a little research then ask more specific questions.

 

hey now, lay off the new guy. He's new! haha


OP, do what ^^ he said, take a look around the site first and especially check the build section. Find what you like

then work out a budget- how much are you willing to spend?

from the sounds of it you're looking at light wheeling. it's definitely possible to overbuild, so it comes back to the budget question- theres hundreds of different parts combinations, of varying quality and price, to suit different needs.

but i'll pick your brain a bit

why are you set on wheeling with only 235/75 tires? I used to run those, MPGs are great but for wheeling they're on the tiny side

 

This is your answer OP right here. Plenty of useful info on here and once you go check out other people's builds you learn a lot about what you want and don't want. Looks like you have some clear goals which is good, good luck!

 

ah, come on
take it easy

Welcome aboard, pal
I'd agree with someone above, if you plan on any offroading, even medium, I'd, at least, go with some larger tires
235/75/15 is smaller than stock
I run 31/10.5/15's

 

Ill be moving this to the 1st gen section, but I appreciate the responses! Never create a thread when one is overtired. Lol
