What Have You Done To Your 4th Gen Today?

Is that 20% in front windows?

 

They are the OEM Tacoma TRD Pro wheels! 18x8.5, 20mm offset. Tires are OEM Goodyear Territory RTs in 265/70/18

PN PT946-35240-2F
Center cap PN PT998-89210-F2

20mm offset means about 1.3" of poke compared to OEM Sport/OR wheels.

 

If anyone is thinking Firestone Air Bags... the answer right now is a no. First, the brackets are some multi-fit deals that do not align snuggly with the Tacoma frame. I could live with this but the bottom bracket that attaches to the rear axle does not fit in considerration of the OEM wiring, brake plumbing, etc. The directions say to detach the wiring from the mount, move it out of the way, then zip-tie it to another wiring loom. Detaching the wiring from the mount does not allow it to be moved to a place where it will not rub when the suspension cycles. Secondary to that, if the bottom mount gets loose for any reason (bolts loosen from vibration, etc.) and it shifts back just 1/2", it will take out the mount for the brake line. I will post pictures later. I'm putting the truck back together and packing the parts back up to send back.

Side note: The package was sent with no packing material inside. Just airbags and metal mounts floating around with a bag of hardware, all fighting each other with the FedEx person. Every single metal mount had chips in the coating. I was going to live with this and touched it up but there is no getting around it not fitting correctly.

 

Looks good. I almost went that route.

 

Yes. Matches the rear pretty well.

 

Thanks for the details. Looks really nice. That's the max poke I'd want.

 

First mod to truck with only 60 miles.

Yes it does. Thanks.

 

Thank you for that update. I was going to consider it and was waiting on your feed back.

 

The dealer just gave me the tailgate letters so… I like em!



Also, anyone else having the issue where the truck stays in trailer mode for a few days after removing the trailer? The dealer is going to diag it tomorrow, I think the fix is to flash the rear BSM sensors.

 

There is a dealer software update for that. Had mine done a few weeks ago

 

Good to know since I was also looking at the Firestone airbags but went with the Loadlifters ( I had installed Loadlifters on my 23 Tundra with no problems).
I just put Loadlifter 5000's (PN:88383) on my 2025 and the instal was pretty easy with everything fit well.

 

My truck came with 17” wheels and the lame spare. After I put 18” Tundra Pro wheels on my truck, I purchased another Tundra wheel for a larger spare.

Wheel - https://www.ebay.com/itm/176361916001
Tire - https://www.discounttire.com/buy-tires/atturo-trail-blade-a-t/p/35434

Now my spare matches my tire sizes.

And fyi, I offered $60 for the wheel and the eBay seller accepted. It was packaged and shipped very professionally.

 

I am looking to put Air Lift System in. I had it in my previous 2 trucks and they make a 2024 Tacoma specific kit. My bags rotted after about 12 years on my last truck and they sent me new ones no questions asked.

 

I guess I should have gone that route vs spending $120 on a steel spare wheel! LOL.

 

I needed a matching spare for my TRD-OR. I also bought my wheel off Ebay. Very please with the wheel, how it was packed, and the speed it was shipped.

 

I watched the install video for the Air Lift System you linked; makes sense, they thought about fitment with wiring and brake lines... looks good! They were never on my radar since I've always used Firestone. After this weekend, I'm shopping around. Loyalty only gets me so far these days.

 

What type of ‘shoot’ is that green thing in the picture? Homemade?

 

It might not be this exact one but this is what I purchased. Works great -
