1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

not yet, but i never drove a MT prior to the slug and here we are lol.


I have 30k on my current wildpeaks with decent tread left. But, the Az sun is rotting them out in between the treads. The sun here will kill my tires just as fast

 

my plan is to build the rear first, and if the locked rear isnt enough for me then go SAS. I have a feeling itll be enough and Ill do LT front tho

 

Wildpeaks are trash, an aquantince of mine has some and theyre dry rotted and worn to shit in 30k miles on his 3rd gen taco

A buddy of mine has had goodyear duratrecs and they've held up well, as well as the Yokohama geolandars I had on my tacoma I'd say

 

Thinking about going back to the cooper at3s next set. Current wild peaks are 30 lb each in E load, and the coopers are light in 32x11.50 @ 47 lbs.

 

what would i need two of the same axle for? I want 6 lug bc u can go chromoly axles unlike the 7.5 rear. Spools are like 50 bucks too for the 6 lugs

 

I didn’t count lugs

 

Jebus, those seem heavy

 

I see wildpeaks highly regarded where there's snow from the threads I see circle jerking them

I had cooper discoverers on my 01 4 runner they were impressive in soft sand, rode nice on road, didn't grip good when it was cold or wet and didn't dryrot

My nitto ridge grapplers, they're a payment princess tire... useless in mud, good in sand, good grip on road when when wet, and quiet, no dryrot but they're only a couple years old... Which I guess is still how old the wildpeaks are on the 3rd gen taco I mentioned which were dryrotted to shit

 

no worries, I already have 3.58 gears too on my truck

most AT's and MT's in 31x10.50 weigh that much though?

 

The e rated 33’s I had were 49#

47# seems like a lot for 32’s

 

u found a diamond in the rough with those tires then, wow. Might need some info on those for future reference.


31x10.50 is only 3 lbs lighter a piece

Toyo Open Country ATIII's are 43# for 31x10.5r15

 

Maybe tire racks high

 

Damn, my 255s STMaxx are just about 60# each.

 

I was gonna say... 47 lbs aint bad for the tire you get at that size

 

You guys care about how heavy your tires are???

I just don't like breaking my back puting them on if I happen to be working on the truck

 

I only care bc heavier weight means my lbj bracket is more prone to snapping while wheeling. Truck was slow off the lot and will always be, just sounds fast with the glasspack haha

 

I care about MPG's so, yes.

 

Weight doesn't concern me mpg will always be crap it will always be slow
