TRD Pro & TX Baja OFFICIAL Thread...

Anyone stuff 255/85/16 and have pictures? I'm due for tires shortly and I think I'm going to throw cooper st maxx or toyo m/t on the Baja

 

Not het but I was going with Cooper ST max in a 285/75/16. Love that tire, cant wait to get them.

 

Just clay bared and waxed the old pro.

 

Will the 285/75 fit without rubbing?

Gosh, that truck looks so clean!

 

Pending on what wheel you are running....it should be fine

 

The standard baja wheel, not sure on the exact specs of it

 

Itl work. A lot of people run that set up. Type that into google images and you can see what it would look like.

 

Thanks! looks a hell of a lot better then the 265s!

 

285s and all stock.

 

What tire is that! looks so GOOD!!!!!! PS those tires look clean enough to eat off of

 

Yes it does....I forgot to tell you.....you'll more that likely have to trim a little bit of the plastic in the wheel well. It's very very minor trimming. Itl take you no more than a few minutes to do. Once they are mounted, turn the wheel to full lock and look in the front of the well.....you'll see exactly what needs trimming, then repeat on the other side....it's easy.

 

yeah i dont mind trimming plastic, just didnt wanna cut up the body or frame

 

You'll be fine with that set up.

 

You don't have to do a cab mount chop until you do 295's. I had it done on my last Tacoma and will have it done on my current one in the next few weeks. I was shocked when I threw on my current wheels on my Baja when I first got it. I tested one wheel just to see how bad it was gonna hit the cab mount knowing the lift is only 2" and it rubbed right off the bat on my last truck with a 3" lift.
I actually have a half inch or so of clearance. I want to still do it so that when I actually do go off-roading I'll have as much clearance as possible.

 

I hear ya, I'm just a little hesitant to pack such a big tire because i do take my truck offroad to get to dirtbike trails, fishing, hunting, and camping.

 

Way too many discussions about how to plumb the airbags, both ways have issues...big load and you loose the bags (when hooked to a Tee) and you have stock suspension so as long as you aren't way over loaded things should just be a bit mushy. Separate lines and you lose one bag you now have soft suspension on one side and stiff on the other. Could get interesting. According to Firestone, they recommend the Tee set up for most normal use and say to use separate lines when you have un-even loads (like in a full camper etc) so you can adjust each side. I have run a Tee set up on my Tundra for about 10 years and never had issue one other than on the Tundra the bags mount ahead of the axle (like the other air bags shown above) and I kept snapping the retaining bolts for the bracket and eventually broke a mounting bracket. Installed new brackets and Daystar Cradles about 3 years ago and no more issues.

 

I have no rubbing lock to lock.

 

There you Go!!!! Thats a sweet Pic!!!!

 

A little before and after height comparison... went out to realign my projectors, and grab a couple shots. no daytime pics yet...

 

Steve I will be moving to the Houston area in lil less then 2 weeks.
