    I’ve been wanting badly to get into a Tacoma for the past several years but with two youngins it wasn’t a good fit. Well the wife got a new Tahoe which is now the family cruiser and dad was able to get himself a fun truck. Here’s my ‘22 TRD OR fresh out of the shop with the OEM lift and new setup- 285/70/17 KO2s on TRD Pro 4 runners. Can’t wait to start fitting it out!

    For sure, it just hasn’t made sense for me to own a full size truck for a while now. I’ve got a work truck that handles 80% of my driving, I’m not moving anytime soon and neither are most of my friends, and we’ve got a great big SUV for family stuff. I wish I would’ve done this 5 years ago

    @ABrownD18 beautiful truck and great choice in wheels/tires.

    Tell me more about your lift! Do you have any rub with those 33s?

    Thanks! The lift is just the factory OEM that I had the dealer put in before I picked it up. I had a local performance shop do the wheels and tires and just picked it up today, I took the long way home and wasn’t able to make them rub so that was pretty reassuring.

    Welcome! I made the leap in 2015, from a Dodge Ram to a tacoma. I haven’t regretted it yet.

    Wow. I’m amazed that the 285s don’t rub somewhere on the front. Lucky you!!! Looks great
