BLP's 2021 TRD OR 6MT

Looks sick bro! Nice wright-up describing your mods.

 

Thanks, don't really update this thread anymore but I also don't do much to the truck anymore besides maintenance and just driving it. It's mostly where I want it. Eventually I want to do something with the audio (besides the head unit swap I already did), but trying to not spend too much for now.

 

Toyo ATIII LT255/75R17 C

I suppose I should update this thread with basically the one thing I have done in the last few months: new tires again. After the regear, I drove on the stock Sport sized tires, which were the Toyo ATIII 265/65R17 XL. I liked the way that setup drove, but it revved a bit high at highway speeds. I settled on 255/75R17 because they're a bit narrower but 1.5" taller. They also come in Load C, which I wanted. They are about 49 lbs, which is around 9-10 lbs heavier than the XLs they replaced. Not too bad. I did take a mileage hit. City mpg is around 15 mpg and highway is about 17. Not horrible, but definitely not great.

Overall they look good, balanced well, and didn't really hurt the performance at all, so I'm happy with them. they brought the cruise rpm down to about 2850 at 70, 3050 at 75, and 3250 at 80. The truck drives nicely with that setup.





I also wanted a full size matching spare, which is impossible with the 16" size spare wheel. So, I bought the earlier 17" spare that they shipped on Sport trucks back in agound 2016-2019 or so, and I got a 5th tire put on it. It fit into place fine, I do have to tug on the tire a bit towards the trailer hitch so it goes up into place properly, if I just hoist it into place without touching it, it will not fully seat right. Eventually I want to relocate the hitch backwards an inch, but I just haven't summoned up the energy to deal with it yet, and I may never end up messing with it. Extremely low priority.
