Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

What's wrong with 16's? More sidewall= more betterer

This

 

Agreed.

 

Is it a 2nd Gen Tacoma? Although the Best Gen, still has an Achillies heel in those teeny tiny brakes. To get more better brakes must do big brake conversion and get those beef cheezemo 4 runner parts (why Toyota did this makes no sense-whimpy parts on a truck and beef on a grocery getter,,,) Big brakes big wheels. You want more side wall get more tire! 35's baby!

 

The 4Runner rears would probably clear 16's. Plus, it seems like the brake upgrade is a solution looking for a problem. I never had any issues with the brakes on my '15.

The 4Runner has always been more beefy than the Tacoma. When you look at the best off-road vehicles of all time, they're mostly SUV's.

But, if you need a bed to feel like a real man, more power to you.

 

Big friday post energy

 

Nothing wrong with a little friendly trash talking.

Seemed like an appropriate response to the grocery getter comment.

 

Only two tiny bolt holes to actually mount it

It's true. Especially with the 5th gen 4Runner.

 

The brakes are only a problem for those that do unnatural things to their poor trucks.

 

Should you really be getting involved in a brake conversation?
I'll just leave this here..

 

I missed that comment.

 

There is nothing wrong with getting 100% of the useful life of those expensive brake pads!
Even though there was a slight bit of steel on steel contact, the brakes worked perfectly fine.

 

Shots fired!

Gotta get your money's worth!

Did you replace with OEM?

 

WTH you talkin' 'bout, Willis?

 

No, I wanted to upgrade. I got $159 Goodyears pads and rotors from Amazon!
They are soooo smooth!

 

How do the Taco bumpers generally bolt on? IIRC, I have 3 bolts on the outside of each frame rail, and one on the inside.

 

They have a very similar bolt pattern. The piece you see in that picture under the bolt holes is turned 90* and bolts to the crossmember from underneath. I don't know Jeeps well, but I'm guessing that bumper fits a Jeep as I don't remember them having a crossmember right by the bumper.

 

Hit a nerve?

 

Just in a shit talking mood this morning.

I know you've wheeled with 4Runners enough to know better.

 

Pat,
Don't let bother you.
I realized after I posted that,
He's probably having a bad day because he either spilled his Old Fashion or he forgot where he left it.
