    Thanks! It's the OEM off road grille I painted satin black to match my wheels!

    Hey!

    Gorilla lug nuts , thanks! 295's were my middle ground without going 315's. I think 295's and 285/75's suit our trucks well!

    Thank you! I had -12, but I really think the -38 makes this pop.

    I have a CMC, trimming to the bottom of the fender, pinch weld folded, and some light trimming to the lower front bumper cover as well.

    Did a chalk test for tire pressure and there is still a little chalk left only on the outside lug. I would assume this means I still need to take more air out right? These are brand new tires, 265/70R17 XL Cooper Rugged Trek

    NYTOPS Recovery hooks installed. Replacement of the demon hooks.

    I would say they definitely can take a larger working load than the demon hooks with their construction and the two points fastened to the frame.

    Method wheels should be here on Tuesday, the off road wheels look so out of place. OEM+ is the aesthetic and I think these really hit that right on the head.

    If OEM+ is the look you're going for, I'd paint them black. They just stand out a bit much being bright red.

    So probably recognizes "oil change" by now. I wonder what other "special" words have been learned by observing ... :rofl:

    Yeah the red has been my accent color for the truck. I'll eventually get the rear recovery hooks in red and get a custom TRD Off-road 4x4 decal

    Maybe, but I think it depends on your driving style, if you like to push it when the road is twisty, then that will work the edges of the tires a bit harder, and you might consider this just the right pressure. If your test drive was at your typical in the turns, then yes, I would think this indicates you can go a little softer.

    Either way, best to measure and track the tread wear, and adjust the target pressure as you monitor actual wear.

    My Pop 'n Lock stopped popping and locking... (The physical key worked). So I had to open up the tailgate cover and clean out some muck and dried grease. Some WD-40 and it's as good as new.

    Even without pop and lock the regular lock requires some lube now and then, I use one that has a solvent that disolves and leaves behind a dry graphite lube, I forget the brand.

    Those 38 sc’s with the 295s look sharp! Would love to get them shoes!! Running 255/85/16’s on OEM TRD Pro Fox set up - doubt I could pull it off without a little lift.

    In my long 21 years of life I’ve so far owned 4 Toyotas. Previously a 2019 Tacoma sr and a 2017 Corolla now got the Camry and Tacoma OR.

    Toyota has definitely treated me well, excited to put this Tacoma to some tests and try out the crawl control and 4x4. Recently bought this 21 Tacoma OR from the auction and got it fixed up.
