New From South Carolina

I finally made the switch from my old 4runner to a manual transmission Tacoma last month. I found a 2009 with 52k miles on it and just couldn't pass it up. I'm excited to join the board and make this truck my own.

Quick question for the board...the guy I bought it from said that he has a 2.75" leveling kit put on it (assuming rear is still stock), and it has really worn 285/75 R16 mud tires on it. This will be my daily driver, so I'm planning on putting some KO2 A/Ts on it, but considering going down to 265/75 R16s. The current tires rub a bit only when I'm cutting the wheel in reverse. My biggest concern is that if I put new 285s on it with full tread, they will rub a lot worse. Does anyone have good photos with a 2-3" lift and +/- 31.5" tires on it? I don't want the new tires to look dinky...and they are quite a bit smaller.

Thanks in advance!

 

265/70 17’s, 2.5-3” up front and 2.5” in the back

 

I’ll be buying taller tires this fall probably. I’m starting to hate these BFG’s.

@308savage good looking truck. Assuming if you're planning on going taller that you have no rubbing issues? Are you having any performance issues with the KO2s or you just don't like the look anymore? They just came out with the DTs with a 50k mile warranty which seems pretty hard to beat on a good A/T

@BassAckwards thanks for the thread. I used to have an old jeep close to this color in college and loved it. Definitely wanted it again!

 

Love those ivan stewart rims had them on my old 03

 

@TACOMA2NDGEN I like them as well. After browsing around and seeing some photos on here, I'm tempted to paint them a gunmetal color like this. Just not sure if it's worth the maintenance and possibility of cracking and scratching

 

I'm in Lexington. Here's my 2014 with 2.5 Fox Coilovers set at 2" and a 1.5" AAL in the rear riding on 32" 255/75/17.

 

Welcome!

I think I see some bro lean?

 

@James710 no more than 1/2" bro

I can handle it. I'd prefer that to having the front sag too bad.

 

Welcome and don’t get rid of those wheels!!!

 

Welcome from Greenwood!

 

I dig the roll bar

 

Definitely wasn’t throwing an insult lol, I promise.

I’d rather see bro lean than rake too. Can’t wait to lift mine up and have it sit more level.

Looking good though

 

No rubbing after I put on the 4Runner wheels, the tires barely rubbed the UCA with the stock wheels. These BFG’s are about 3 years old with right at 20,000 miles on them. They don’t want to keep traction on the street when it rains. The first 15,000 miles I loved them, they had excellent grip, not so much anymore.

 

Thanks!

Great minds!
