All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!

Any photos of 3rd Gen Tacomas with 255's? Functionally, I'm convince they're better on road and off road than their wider counterparts. And, fuel at $7 per gallon in CA, would be nice to catch an MPG break. Thanks!

They are better in almost all situations. The only time a wider tire will help is when you rock crawling. Airing down the larger tires give you more surface area to contact with the rocks. Not contact patch more grip.
I enjoyed my 255s while there were I. The vehicle. The trucks drivetrain acted like I didn’t even change them from stock….can’t say the same about my heavy ass 285s.

Glad your stoked OP. Looks good. A friend of mine did the same with a set of white steelies. His rigged looked like a older hilux.
