allenfab's 95 Tacoma build

Wow...I dunno what to say about that attitude, lol. It's almost like you intentionally plan to roll it again. As much alike as we are, I sure hope you don't get as OCD as me when you get my age. I had a '90 Bronco on 35s that on the way home from work one night some prom kids decided that they wanted to be in my lane and just came right over into my steering tire. Only mark on that side of the truck was where the white letters on the BFGs were scuffed, but they launched my across a grass median into oncoming traffic and I damn near had a head on with a Taurus...as it was we both did the right thing as much as we could and I caught her halfway down the drivers side door and just obliterated the car all the way to the back. Tore up my bumper, door, drivers fender, and my lock out. I replaced the fender with an after market, the auto locking hubs with Warn manuals, and the door with a scrap yard door. My bronco was dark blue. The fender was flat black and the door was white with a gray center stripe. I never bothered to paint any of it. My ex finally had her brother in law rattle can it dark blue when I was in GA. Now days it would just drive me insane until I at least tired to make it blend in.

Edit: in fact, about the first time I see the Q-tip at a meet with that red door, I'm coming over with some sand paper, masking tape and a couple cans of gloss white paint and that door won't be red any more, lol.

 

Haha, I definitely don’t plan on flopping it again but with how it happened at AOP, flopping at almost a dead stop, I realize it can happen again at anytime so I figure I’ll spend the time I’d have in painting the door on something else more worthwhile

 

Alrighty then. I could just lightly mist it with white so it looked pink from a distance.

 

Driver side ball joints replaced, new tie rod thrown on and alignment done. Getting the ltb's dismounted and sold this week.

 

Rats. I kinda wanted to see what they looked like on my truck, but I doubt the OGT is going anywhere any time soon with no LBJs.

Guess you got a buyer for them already, huh?

 

Yea, I posted them Saturday and and had them sold today. A friend of mine is ending up buying them.

 

Well, I guess the OGT is safe from the sledge hammer for a while now at least.

 

What tires you going to put on now

 

I have no idea still

 

I don't suppose I could talk you into these...

They ride smooth as silk. They age really well too and since they will be mounted on your trail rig, wear won't be an issue. Plus, they have a shit load of sipping which will probably get really good grip on smooth rocks. And they are freakin' a lot cheaper than I was expecting.

 

I'm still leaning toward a maxxis brand tire right now, just still not sure on which model. All the radial swampers I've ridden on still rode pretty bad, and I'm just not in enough mud to warrant getting another set IMO.

 

Love my Razrs...night and day on 17” beadlocks over my old 15” non beadlock PBR’s

 

K, but unless you tried these, they aren't like the SSRs and such. The tread blocks are much smaller like a regular mud terrain. I can't really say how well they perform in mud or anything else, but I used to take my F250 out to a sandy spot near my house to knock the rust of the front ring and pinion and circulate the oil and I could not get the truck stuck in 2WD (had the towing package with 3.55s and an LSD rear diff). I had to power break it to do this...



Those are 33x12.50R16s on 16x7 factory wheels.

And I give you my word that they rode just as good as the street tires they replaced. Maybe it was because they were on a 7500 lb truck, but they rode fantastic. No vibes, no thumps, I don't even think they flat spotted after being parked for a week or two. They did take a lot of weight to balance, but that's pretty tyical of any mud terrain I think.

I wish treps weren’t over 600 each for the size I want. Toyo is still over 400

 

I didn't even realize you had razr's. They are very tempting for the price... I'd be at just over $900 delivered

 

Going up in size on stating on 35’s?

 

Those don't look too bad an option either, especially because they are bias plies. But they will probably ride like crap because they are bias plies, haha. Honestly, I'd go with them before I'd go with the Trxus ones I suggested because they are bias plys. The 65 MPH max speed is a little concerning though.

 

That’s the competition series tire. They have radial also at least in the treps.

 

Just switched to them. One of my friends has them in 40’s and loves them too. SimpleTire?
