    I've owned a 2007 Tacoma for the last seven years but just bought a new 2017 TRD Sport, and thought it was time to join. I've used the forum many times as I worked on my old truck, but just as a spectator.

    I did a few upgrades to my new one and absolutely love it. Can't wait to get it offroad. Hopefully next weekend.

    Anyway, just posting an official hello. Later!

    Sure will. I went with 18" KMC XD128 Machete matte black wheels and 33x11x18 Falken Wildpeak AT3W tires. I do a lot of driving and these tires are supposed to give a decent ride on pavement but still be pretty aggressive offroad. Only had them a day now and haven't gotten a chance to take them offroad, but I can say they feel great around town and on the highway.

    Yep. It's lifted just enough that they fit well as-is with no rubbing. I don't think I could've gone much bigger though.
