    You've got a build thread?! How did I just find this? Nice looking headache rack.

    Yeah; I'm not as on top of keeping it updated as most of the other members on here.

    BFG AT 265/75R16. ARB Bumper. OME 886 w/ Dakar Leafs. Warn M8000. PIAA Fogs. SEO Synthetic winchline. Leer 100R. Thule Tracker II.
    Great looking truck! Really like the way you built your tacoma. A lot of inspiration for my own build. How have you liked running 255/85/16 BFG MTs with 4.88 gears? How has highway driving been? Engine revs high? MPG loss? Im currently running 265/75/16 BFG ATs with factory gears in my 2.7. I like the way my setup drives at speed, but the tire weight has made my truck sluggish when accelerating. I am trying to figure out the best way to provide more power, yet still maintain decent MPG and highway manners.

    It's pretty funny, I get this question often.

    Irregardless of what you do; it's still going to be a 2.7 I4. That being said, I feel that the combination of 255s and 4.88 gearing is a great thing. It's a balance of power and overall ground clearance.

    Highway driving is fine - don't notice any horrible vibration or road noise. However, that largely comes down to personal tire choice. Mileage on the highway is typically right around 20 - even with a loaded rig and roof top tent.

    I'd have to get back to you on RPMs - but cruising in 5th at 70 MPH is about perfect.

    I'd go to 4.88s.

    I'm contemplating going up to 36s with my next set of tires.

    Your truck is so rad man. I just discovered your thread and it turns out I wanted to do exactly what you're doing. ha. I've got 255s and I think I'll be getting 4.88s in a couple weeks, thanks to your build thread.

    :thumbsup: really awesome truck. Haha everyone is going the 255 route with 4-bangers it seems and think we all just found your build at the same time.
    I get 20 avg now with my 265/75 on stock gearing 22 on the highway if I'm road tripping it. I thought maybe 4.56 would be a good in between gearing but by the sound of it those 4.88s seem to get the job done nicely for you. :oldglory:

    Decided to run the 17s that I'd picked up a while back...

    Was about to leave the rather interesting "used" tire and wheel place, when one of the regulars pointed these out to me... OEM Sequoia wheels. $175 out the door, for all four wheels, mounted and balanced with my BFGs.

    Getting ready for the annual Moab trip - stay tuned!

    Holy crap!...yet completely awesome! Glad you made it out safely @jeverich ! Love your build thread, btw. Was reading through it and ran right into that gnarly cliffhanger, haha.

    Thanks for the link, @Greenbean
