Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

Will have more photos coming soon. All is good with 4wp. No rub, no trim, no weird noises. Came out unscathed (so far).

Feels good to have a little tire noise on the road again. I got a little too used to my highway tires!

 

Thanks man

 

Got the 18x10s to work with -24 offset. 275/75/18. So thankful for no trimming!!

 

If I were going to get a rear locker the first thing I would do would be to contact @Texoma. He just installed a locker in his truck I believe and probably has already done all the research.

 

I don't get why people always want monies for stuff

 

I am, he just installed my lift for me and has been a huge help!

 

ARB...

 

What tires did you go with?

 

Know anyone who wants to buy a kidney? I have an extra one

 

Not at the current time but there are some drinkers on here you might be able to sell half of your liver...lol

Edit: No offense to the adult beverage drinkers.

 

I had to give up the drinking for the most part.... Stuff makes me break out in handcuffs..

 

BFG KO2s 275/65/18

Been nothing but happy with them on my previous trucks. Almost went with mickeys but couldn’t pull the trigger on em

 

I put KO2s 275/70/17 on mine yesterday, I love them! Gas mileage went from 19mpg to 15mpg but that's the cost of a sexy Taco I guess

 

Be glad you didn’t go with the mickeys.
The tread wear on them is lousy. We do all kinds of tire testing out here at work. The ko2 and cooper SST MAXX seem to hold up the best in the AT tires.
Toyo MT and the KM2 in that order hold up the best in the MT side.

The mickeys that we tested were done for with in 45is days. Rough test in the coal industry.

 

Just seems to be the norm, I tried to sell my old shocks so I couldn’t store them but ended up giving the rears away to a fellow member since they were needed. I Kidding with ya before, watch the classifieds section and the for sale section as you might be able to get some of the parts you need.

 

In all seriousness watch Marlin Crawler for sales. I know they do a sale on differential parts in October. May be longer than you wanna wait but customer service is great.

 

Yea I have shocks, coils and tires I need to get rid of. Hopefully I can get a little cash for them.

 

Agree 100% on the tire wear on the mickeys. Probably best performance I’ve had off-road though. I used to have the Baja claw radials on my land cruiser and it was a sand dune climbing sum bitch.

I really like the Cooper STs but damn they’re expensive! Lol
