    2005 Silver Tacoma TRD Offroad 4x4 Access Cab
    3" Toy Tech Boss suspension lift, 255/85/16 Cooper ST MAXX tires (stock alloy rims), ARB Deluxe front bumper, Warn M8000-S winch (with Warn Sidewinder), All Pro sliders, All Pro rear bumper (with hidden hitch and side panels), Window Tint, Roll N Lock Bed Cover, TRD Neoprene Seat Covers, Tinted Bug Shield, Tinted Vent Visors, ARB Essentials Recovery Kit, Pioneer head unit with GPS
    I can't see the 1" doing any harm, maybe a pain to install.

    With or without the 1" body I'd really like to stuff 33's (285). I'm ok with trimming a little for no rubbing at full lock, but don't want rubbing for daily driving.

    I'm currently running the stock 265/70/R16. I'm thinking with or without the 1" body I would be safe w 265/75/R16 just worried they may look too small w the lift...???

    If you'd like a really good option and aren't hung up on a wider tire you can fit a 255/85/16 on your stock wheels or jump to 17's with a 255/80/17. These are dubbed skinnies or pizza cutters but depending on your choice of brands thy don't look skinniy at all. In reality they are only 1" more narrow than a 285 I believe and are a true 33 where the 285's are really more or less a 32. Because of the decreased width clearance isn't an issue and even though they are heavy (I believe all or most in this size are E rated) the decreased contact patch offers less rollig resistence so you don't "feel" the extra weight much at all if any. Just an idea

    Tons of folks run 2-3" lift with 265's, 255's on stock rims shouldn't rub with a 2-3" lift.

    Ok I was wrong IDK WTF I was looking at. The 255's are only a hair taller pretty much the same I guess it's more if you want a wider tire or not i guess

    I have them on the truck and love them. It took a while for folks to convince me to go skinny, but I really like it now. Hell back when I had my Jeep I ran 36.5x 15's we liked 'ed wide back then at least

    IMG_0145.jpg I will add 1" body lift before I got 34's or 35's. It's a lot of work for that 1".

    You are absolutely correct! I try to be positive on here all the time. Even if somebody's truck may not be my taste I either just don't say anything or find something I like and compliment them on that. Yes, they are supposed to be fun

    That's alot of my job welding and fabrication and I've made quite a bit for the truck but with no weldr or tubing bender at home I didn't try the bumper and sliders. I got the sliders used and had to do a bit of rehabbing to them and welded them on but not the bending
