LOVE the SIZE

The 70 series are on National Back Order, not only were the 75's a bit less expensive they were in stock and like I had mentioned a bit narrower, I spent a good part of my life on the Frozen Tundra and know all to well about wider tires in Mud, Snow and the Frozen Boogers that stay in the center lane

They are about 1" higher, I really noticed it when the first time parking in the garage the hitch cover mark on the wall is off an inch
and no issues with rubbing, I really like how it no longer feels like it's ' Diving' while cornering, AND fit & Look Great on the OEM Wheels I like this as they don't show the brake dust and I did not have to spend money on new wheels

Thanks for sharing. Looks like what I'm looking for. I really want to keep the stock wheels too, they're great. I think white lettering out with a white truck looks awesome!

Hey y'all,
First time Tacoma owner, long time fan. I'm usually a Subaru guy but my most recent rig was a Nissan NV2500HD tall commercial van which I had converted to live out of. I lived out of it full-time for nearly two years in the SW US. After buying a house in my home state of Wisconsin, I ended up selling it.

I pulled the trigger on a new Tacoma because the used truck market was insanely inflated and slim pickings at the time.

Anyway, my plan is to build her out to be an overland capable daily driver. She is pretty much stock with just a few cosmetic upgrades. I'm in the process of wiring up a second house battery and some 12v SAE terminals for a fridge and other accessories. I'm looking to add a roof rack, bed cap, and probably swap out the stock tires for KO2s soon. I'm debating whether I should try to build a bed cap myself or just get one like the RSI smart cap and use a tent or separate RTT.

Thanks for all the great conversations already taking place. I'm excited to join in.
