    Got another itch!
    Little suspension/rubber upgrade, lost the fake beadlock trim.

    I’m good for a little while.

    Made the switch to 235/R75-15’s from stock 215/R70-15’s on my ‘09 2wd access cab - what a massive (and great looking) difference. Went with Cooper Evolution HT’s - the prev owner had crappy budget tires that I was loath to change since they had a lot of tread on them, but man, I wish I would’ve done it sooner. Have only driven home from the tire dealer, but they feel great. The alignment adjustments may be playing a part too - I think this poor Taco was pretty neglected.


    Can’t wait to get on the highway to check them out more.

    Thanks for all the posts over the years on the tire change subject, cheers!

    How did you mount your Overlander? Does it get in your line of sight at all mounted there?

    Bought this guy today. Has anyone purchased this exact one?

    Toyota 75311-90K00 Radiator Grille Emblem https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F2ALULA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_XFlpEb7N9B73F

    I'm going to try and mount it behind my mesh grille but not sure which way would be the best. The description is kinda vague. Any suggestions? Here's a mock up idea for what I'm gunning at :thumbsup:

    I’ve got 305/70-17 nitto terra g2 grappler tires in pro comp wheels. 6” full rough country suspension . I just bought some SCS Ray 10 wheels in gun metal and am ordering ridge grapplers (same size) this week. Thanks

    Hey.

    I used 1/16” rubber edge trim I ordered from McMaster-Carr. Nice tight fit. Let me know if you want SKU #’s.

    Just installed my @CaliRaisedLed 20W led pods on my relentless fab bed bars. These are super bright for how small they are and for how cheap they are. Really happy with them.

    I like those stripes, reminds me of Toyota truck stripes from the 80's and it makes the scoop stand out more. I think Ivan Ironman Stewart ran similar stripes, that guy is a legend. I also think "why have a scoop that's subtle?" I like everything you got planned for it and I'm positive you're happy it's not a ferd. Looks great as is.

    Is that what the wheels look like without the silver trim? Looks nice!!
    I personally never cared a whole lot for that style wheel, but without the trim, I dig it.

    Yeah, actually I didn’t know the fake beadlocks are easily removed until I saw another member rocking the same bronze set and I was sold.
    Looks like a completly different wheel.
