North Carolina Tacomas?!

You might be able to get away with 295's without trimming, I don't think you'd have to trim till you go to 305's but I may be wrong.

295's are expensive though

 

I run 285/75 BFG A/Ts and had to trim the fender flares at the bottom. The only time it rubs the cab mount is if i'm reversing at like full lock and even then it's only for a second and stops. My next set of tires will be bigger since i'll have 4" of lift and the 285s look small.

 

Ya the BFG a/ts I think run smaller, like a 32 for a 285/75/16, had those on my 01 as well and didn't like them for the rainy days or on the boat ramps. I don't believe I've seen many 295s out there, and ya they are a little pricey for me.

 

Yeah they are pretty small, will def. be going up next set.

190.00 for general grabbers which is steep to me,I've seen a few sets on craigslist but mostly for 17" rims

 

What size and tire?

I've heard great reviews with those and some better than BFGs.

I just want that aggressive look but also functionality all around. So far I've had best luck with the coopers. Tempted to try the nitto mud grapplers but my wife doesn't like them:/ as for prices I have found on them, pretty close to the same as cooper stt. Thoughts?

 

I don't like tire roar and I don't have mud tires so I have no idea. I don't really want mudders now, I like my bfg long trails

 

Do not get mud graps lol

 

I went out and did some donuts in the truck, it was really fun!

 

Get treadwrites they are all I tunin my cummins

 

In other news, I am almost ready to do my 4wd conversion, I just need to do some work on my spindles, new ball joints, and new CV axles. Tomorrow I should be able to pick up my regeared front diff and transfer case.

I am going to do all of the work myself, any tips for installing a transmission?

 

One of the bolts for the torque converter is a complete whore. Have a buddy and a floor hack

 

There was a link awhile back in the wheels and tires section, you could get bfg mud terrains retreaded for 90 dollars. The company did free shipping too if you ordered 4

 

I wish the 2nd gens weren't such.a pain to convert or I would be doing it. The damn subframe is even different

 

Hahaha, is that the green one?
We have a place with a lift we can use, so hopefully that will help!

Yeah that sucks!!


I am up to about $1500 on my conversion, but i also have a lot of part still to resale.

 

I don't remember which one just that one of them sucked

 

Go for the top bolt through the cab..... Also have a transmission jack helps a lot

 

Good to know

Okay question, did you run into any little thing or part that you overlooked when you did your conversion?

 

Yeap didn't bother to check the wheel bearings on the spindles I bought. Other then that I had it all covered

 

Does your transfercase shifter hook right into the transfercase or does it go in the square on the back of the transmission?
