    Vehicle:
    '01, 4x4, SR5, 2.7L, 5spd, 33x12.5x15
    Leer shell, bedliner, helwig helper springs, hid aux driving lights. UPDATE: 33x12.5x15 duratracs, buds skid plate & belly pan (delivered not yet installed); now need good bolt-on sliders... UPDATE: Ordered bamf sliders, LCA skids, & badlands rear bumper
    Please let us us know how the 2.7l pushes the red letters; those things are heavy. Your existing 31x10.5x15 BFG ATs weigh 44 lbs and these are 69lbs.

    I went with duratracs 33x12.5x15; a big reason being they are super light for that size @ 49lbs.

    I'm thinking about 35s later; BFGs, Firestones, dunlops, etc all hover around 60lbs. I don't know why those are so heavy...

    Anyway I am wondering if I put too much emphasis on that factor. With my 2.7L 5 speed & 4.30s I can still use 5 gear; I just need to hold it 4 th longer before shifting and have to down shift sooner but it seems quite functional can get 21mpg if I try.

    With these tires on the other end of the spectrum, and in the same area, it seems like it would be a good performance comparison.

    Kind suprised I haven't seen your ride in SF or the peninsula; it seems like it would be hard to miss. I have to admit I was wondering why run 31s with all the other hardcore mode. Anyway it's a really cool ride and am glad to see another NorCal tacoma on 33x15s!
