Need To Upgrade My 3rd Gen

No, unless you plan on a lot of cutting/ trimming.
The biggest you can run as said before is
265/75r16 or 265/70r17

 

Someone mentioned Billies 5100’s,
They are fairly inexpensive. And I hear great things about them. Or you can go slightly cheaper with pro comp pro runners, which is what I am running they’re $20 ish cheaper then billies but side by side identical. Performance wise not sure how they compare but I love my pro comps. And I have 2.25 lift

 

I will second the sentiment that buying once, what you really want, is the way to go...

 

Get some 265/75’s for about $400-450 you’ll love the way they look and be satisfied with your truck again.....at least for a couple of weeks until the newness wears off them you’ll be back here looking for the next mod...it’s a vicious cycle

 

What don't you like? OR is pretty capable off the lot. If you are in a lot of slick mud, then getting some M/T tires and leaving the rest stock would probably give you a lot of value.

 

Very True... in many cases it's a great idea to push the limits of the truck and adapt your skills until the proceed beyond the capabilities of the vehicle. The TRD OR will go beyond what you think in stock trim. You also need to consider that modifications require up-keep, and possibilities of failure that will be difficult to replace/repair depending on location. Something to keep in mind.

 

It’s not just me then

 

Wash it occasionally and put a suspension under it .

 

First mod you should save up for is to modify the trucks title to be in your name and not the bank's......

 

Hmmmmmmm maybe it’s paid for already.

 

If that's the case then congratulations, I'd say better tires and rear springs first off and you're looking at a pretty damn capable vehicle not in need of much upgrading unless you're taking it on some extreme trails. Maybe some rock protection just in case.

 

Nice truck though OP, I gotta say these 3rd gens are finally starting to grow on me. Taking a while for me to get on board with the new front end. Headlights in particular. But I'm coming around. Took me a while to like the 2nd gens when they came out too. I loved the first gen, I thought they'd ruined it when they came it with the new ones. Then I got over it.

Anyways enjoy your truck OP

 

You might check out the 255/85R-16 thread.

 

I already paid for the truck actually...but anyways I’m thinking about buying a lift but I don’t know what brand.

 

Put service department phone number in your phone. Free

 

x10 on tires. A lift is nice, but real good tires can help you actually get places.

265/75r16, and if you decide to lift later they'll still be fine.

 

Looking sweet! So OP, what are you talking for Budget on the lift and tires? That's really your starting point and will impact our ability to answer greatly

 

My whole limit is gonna be 4K maybe 5K with installation.

 

Wow, that is a hell of a budget that can take you pretty far. assuming that this includes tires that leaves the original 4k for suspension (or 3k on the low end of your range). I would look at a solid set of coilovers (nothing bypass as that will put you outside your range, or right at it after just the front C/O and rear struts), rear struts (see previous) and a set of mid-performance leaf packs or add-a-leafs. Or you can always go with a full set of Old Man Emu (extremely dependable, trail proven, and had zero issues after running a set for 100k miles on my old T4R). The second option will even leave you a lot left in the bank for a solid bumper/winch or rear with swing out.

I think the next serious question would be, what are your goals with the truck? Will you be hauling heavy gear or a solid topper like the Vagabond (think 300+ pounds in the bed), will you be spending weekend running the whoops in the desert, or just something that is low maintenance, daily driven, and fire road worthy?

 

...again, I have no idea what installation fees are as everything I have done has been of the 'in your own garage' variety. That can add up quickly, dependent upon shop, and customer shop relationship.
