Oahu Hawaii Recon

Hey there... I'm new here... I am needing to get the recon done on my 2001 Tacoma... My tread sticks out slightly and was wondering who thought it might pass still? I really don't want to have to put the garden edging on and put holes in the fender... Can anyone give me their thoughts please and thank you!

 

Should be good

 

Thank you!

 

That will pass no problem....Is it lifted? Sorry for the dumb question, only ask to make sure you even need to go through the recon process

 

Yes it is lifted

 

By what your picture shows, it's your sidewall that is sticking out, not treads.

 

Thanks for the info! So it should pass the recon test correct?

 

Will definitely pass...the requirement is that your tread cannot stick out past the flare. Yours is good to go, mine sticks out a little more than that and I have a passing RECON

 

BTW welcome to TW

 

Thanks for the help!

 

Do you still have the stock mudflaps on?

 

They might make you put garden flare crap on to extend your mud flap to cover the tread.....if you have wheel spacers on i would just take those off and you would be good but if its like that because the width of your rim then yeah you might want to extend the mudflap to cover the tread. It really depends on the inspector, sometimes they are cool and it will pass

 

nah, no ways that would pass. that's like a 1/3 of the tire outside the mudflap. mines looked like this on my 2003, with 32x11.5's on MT Classic II's (3.65" BS I think)... I had to remove the mudflap, and drill new holes to mount it more outward... I think @Konaborne did this too for safety.

 

I have these for Safety Check...love them

nice. if I can't get these 1st gen mud flaps to play nice on my 2nd gen, I might look into some rubber mud flaps like those.

 

yup, thats exactly what I did

dumb AF

 

Went to Scotty's to get my alignment...first one and done by 9am.
Went to Recon arrived at 10am...only person there and done by 10:30.
Can't believe the luck.

Truck now legit!!!

 

You should be fine, but it all depends on the inspector's eye/mood. That's the problem. It's so subjective. No one can tell you for certain that you'll pass 100% unless none of the tire/wheel sticks out.
