    I hate commuting from Santa Rosa to Corte Madera every day... so many stupid accidents and weird shit

    Well worth it, I wouldn't worry about that post either. Firestone is just covering their asses so that they don't have to warranty a gashed bag. The cradles work excellent, and take abuse. I tow a heavy ass Centurion boat, camping gear, basically every weekend, and I put it in the dirt. Just pressure wash the shit out of the suspension after use, and make sure no debris ends up in the cradle.

    Usually a giant bag of weed. What more do people do in NorCal... SxS, Tacoma, Cooler, Weed... yup, thats about it.

    More wisdom.. I don't off road so won't experience the mega bouncing. Just want a solution for rear end sag that is a one time solution. Aal doesn't seem the way to go, bags do! Thanks for the perspective.

    Need some help, dudes.

    I got new tires two days ago. I got Toyo Open Country A/Ts. They're 265/75-16.
    The tire shop set them to 65 psi! I know that's too much; what should I set them to? 35 psi?

    Yeah around 32 up front and 34 in the back I've seen. Depends on the truck and weight but around 32-35 is good. Are they a P rated or LT?

    What load range? Let me know how you like them. Led Schwab has been trying to talk me into them.

    I had them on an Explorer I drove last year and I liked them on it. So far they're working out well on the Taco.

    I'd say around 34 psi should be good but maybe some 2nd gen guys can give some input as well.

    I set my A/T2s to 33 psi.

    Also by far the best tire I've ever had on a vehicle.

    Thanks for all the input guys! I know I need to go lower just wasn't sure how low. I'll start at 35 and go from there. I have a bed shell so I'll run 35 in the rear at least.

    2006 TRD what load are you using with AT2s? Haven't ran E tires in a decade but when I did they rode great on 1985 Bronco

    Don Pedro is really low. Lower than I've see in a long, long time.

    The ride so far has been pretty harsh with them at 65 psi. I just aired them all down to 35 psi. I'm guessing the ride will be better now. The drive home from work will let me know.

    E load is a bit overkill for a tacoma but if you lower the PSI itll definitely help.
