    What would you do first? I just purchased a 2015 Tacoma TRD Sport, DCSB, PreRunner V6 with 10 miles. The color is Pyrite Mica.

    I am looking at putting on Fuel, Method, or Pro Comp 17" wheels with some LT265/70/17 AT rubber.

    After that its up in the air, what do you dudes recommend?

    you can fit that size without a lift. it will look good. lift it after if that's what you're going for.

    I thought I wanted 265s after the lift. I ran the stock rugged fail 265s and decided I wanted to go up to 285s. Lift first.

    That was my plan, wheels/tires and then see if I want to do a lift. I had a lifted F150 that I sold before buying the Tacoma and I'm not sure I want to deal with the mechanical wear again.

    I think I have narrowed down the wheels to these styles

    I like the 3rd ones. If I were you I would lift first then wheels/tires cause after you lift you will want bigger tires then 265's trust me.

    Agreed on lift first. With the 265's and no lift it will look good but then once you lift you'll be unsatisfied with that size. 285's will compliment your lift very well!

    After having a lifted truck in the past, really looking to keep the stock suspension and have a beefed appearance.

    Anybody had a good experience with the General Grabber AT2?

    How do you like the Nav setup? I'm looking to do a swap b/c mine only came with the Entune Audio Plus.

    Think long and hard about the likely things you will do with your truck and consider cargo management options. Not so much fun, but really handy.

    lots of people have the at2 and like them. search around for some threads about them by using the search feature in the top right, you'll find some good reviews.

    Bought Grabber AT2's about a month ago as replacement for stock Dungflops. I have taken them on dirt off-roading and 1st snow/ice of the season and I am very happy with them so far.

    Glad to hear they are working out for you so far.

    I'm actually interested in the new Terra Grappler G2, they just came out in October 2014 and they have them in stock at Discount Tire Direct.
