    Hello to everyone, last week my Tundra was written off. So this week I'm getting a access cab TRD OFF ROAD. The first thing I want to do is reuse my 275/65r18 so finding a wheel I like with 4.5" backspacing and to try and not have the tread stick out too far and road rash my paint should prove interesting. I will grab a lift of some sort, probably 5100's or the Toytec adjustable coils with the Bilstiens . But hey any help and advice would be very much appreciated.

    Had 3 2nd gen Tundras. Really liked them. Just like the Tacoma better. Easier to drive, park, wheel.

    Welcome!!

    The size of the Tacoma is fine for most of us, but you may have a difficult time adjusting since your previous truck was so much bigger.
