3rd Gen Magnetic Gray Thread

My stock suspension on 3 wheels

 

In my opinion I think they do make the seats more comfortable there is a layer of foam on the inside of the seat covers

 

Debadged SR5, plastiderp taco and v6 emblems, and just got the predator steps!

 

So I just installed new yellow fog bulbs.. 55w Hella Optilux yellow xy. But its melting the housing! I have to change them back...but what's the solution? I saw these came recommended for a plug and play yellow swap?

 

Very nice bud

 

Use stock build with laminex vinyl

NEW to TW. Have been lurking for about two months and commenting at times but thought I should post a photo of my truck in this thread. 2017 trd sport DCSB!

Unfortunately already experienced the recall on the third brake light. Now contemplating lifting the truck.

 

Nice truck,

But Get some real tires, before that lift!

WOW

 

They’re the stock tires unfortunately. Are they no good?

 

look like camry tires.

@tacomatime has gorgeous tires

I was looking at falken wildpeak at3’s
In a 265/70/17 or 265/75/17.
My buddy owns a tire shop in Oregon and said he’d install general grabbers at/x for $968 installed and balanced.

What’s best?

 

@20tacoma17 what kind of lift did you go with?

 

Mine came with readylift spacer kit but I changed to Kings.

 

You will get many different opinions on tires, all depends on what you want them for? The stock tires are good for hwy miles but that's about it. If you get tires you could sell yours to cover 1/2+ of your new tires. Also, not sure who makes 265/75/17?

 

You may be right he might have miss typed. Maybe it was 275/75/17?
Would like good winter weather traction but not sacrificing decent mpgs and good off-road performance. I’d like aggressive tires but not super duper heavy like ko2’s E rated.

 

How was the spacer kit?
My buddy told me to install a RevTEk 3/1 or maybe it’s 3/2? He has had that kit since day on of getting his OR and he takes that truck everywhere with no problem. But the guys at wheelers off-road in Oregon said to do the bilstien 5100’s with OME 885’s

 

If you lift 2" about the biggest you can go without trimming is 275/70/17. I have E but will go with C next time.

 

If you can afford it go with bilstiens. Spacer kit is a bit harsh IMO. BIG difference when I replaced them.

 

In my break down the Bilsteins are only about $100 more as I would not pay a shop to install those I have friends and myself to wrench the 5100’s. Without the shock compressor I don’t feel comfortable putting the spacers on myself. Thank you for so much great feed back! It’s great having so much reading material on this forum but sometimes it’s a huge thing to wade through.

 

Just FYI, you have that backwards. Unless you buy Bilsteins assembled with a new coil, you’ll have to assemble them. Block lifts only require you to unbolt the existing assembly, add the puck, and bolt it all back together on the truck
