The Lair

Even 37’s are such a massive step up from 35’s, with an inch of ground clearance and still plenty able to keep the truck streetable and DD’able. I think 40’s are beyond the limit of being able to do that but then again he has a trailer.. OH and he has 934’s oh and LT oh and tundra rack… it would be a shame to go anything less than 37. 37-39 is the sweet spot to take full advantage of all those mods he already has. Oh man Randy could you imagine 37’s or larger with your crazy low stance and bobbed front and rear? It’s so good

 

Also - with the trailer you could remove the tent and not worry about a full sized spare or quite a few other chunks of weight that would typically stay in the truck. Those items can stay in the tundra or on the trailer. You can choose how crazy you want to go as far as revolutionizing the “way” you wheel and keep the taco as far as “stuff” goes. The sky is the limit. So many possibilities

 

Trust me, I’ve thought of all of these things. For now, it’ll stay as is. We’ll see what the future holds.

 

I would highly recommend a couple or more of axle straps. And now that I look at Mac's website, nevermind.

 

Did you look at Sumo Springs for the less complex solution??

 

Why?

 

I’m aware of them and not too big of a fan

 

That set includes them. They're just attached to the ratchet straps in the picture and I couldn't see them until I went to the site.

 

Ahhh, yep. These were a bit cheaper than the separate axle straps.

 

Out of curiosity, why? I've had them on the Tacoma since I bought it, and they sold me.

 

I’ve seen them deteriorate after not very long on another friends tacoma. I like the versatility of the airbags. Install is cake too.

 

True. Mine still work, but they don't look pretty. I've nothing against airbags, but I'm lazy, so I like the Sumos. Going with manual inflation?

 

Betty’s a trailer queen?

 

Yeah, I need to see if a bicycle pump is sufficient. I imagine so since it’s such a small volume.

for the most part, yeah, she will be. I’ll still drive her some places where I won’t be able to park a trailer but this’ll make long drives a lot more comfortable.

 

Oh! Since I know you're a Mac's fan: Their display at an Expo was great. Cars strapped down to the bottom of lifts (cars upside down, too). Simple and genius.

 

That is a good question. Last truck I had them on, I ran the valves to the rear bumper and disguised them as license plate bolts. It was just two Schraeder valves that I used gas station air on.

 

That’s awesome, I’m a big fan of Mac’s. High quality and the guys on the phone were really nice.

 

After the first time you bought from them, I've bought a few straps, too. So I agree. For cheapies, I've really been impressed by Rhino USA.

 

Depends on the pressures involved. A lot of generic bike pumps are meant for high volume, but lower pressures. Prob be better off using Betty or the new Tundy, Lord Humungus' on board air if manually inflating.

 

That’s what I was seeing after a little searching. So I may pick up a portable dewalt compressor for it.
