    Purchased a brand new 1985 SR5 back in the day, then sold it in 1986 to go back to college. Bought my Dad's 1987 in 1990 and kept it until 2000. Bed rusted out, went to a homemade stake bed. Needed a full size manual in 2000 and bought a GMC 2500 SLE. Just sold it and am a happy new owner of a 2019 Tacoma Off-Road. Feels like I never left!

    Looking for tire size recommendations. Like to go to 35" but see some mods needed. Want to make sure I am protected against rust.

    I dont have any tire size recommendations, but I do have one for rust.
    I know lots on this site do the fluid Flim, but I myself like Krown, Frame still looks really good for a 10yr old truck that lives by the ocean and sees salted roads on the regular in winter.

    Thanks for all the welcomes. Have a scheduled appointment in Jan for undercoating. Most people seem to endorse it here in Michigan. I am skeptical. I still research 35"ers, but find the body mods tough to take. Three year old truck, I'd go for it. My off-road is sand dunes and beaches. Hardly any rocks or mud. Fat shoes might be the better choice versus tall. Any fitments out there that have worked? Is 12" wide workable, drivable? Does the steering get mucked up due to the pivot offset?
