TRD Pro & TX Baja OFFICIAL Thread...

Black is a safe choice. However, I think the tan would look pretty dam sweet on there too. If you had bronze wheels I'd definitely do the tan.

 

If I did tan, I probably would do bronze wheels in a 17.

 

If you do, get the ones I did....I love these wheels. SCS SR8 in matt bronze. 17x8

 

I was thinking about the Konig Countersteer Type X with a TRD center cap.

 

Thanks man....Cooper STT Maxx 285/70/17

 

Konigs are nice too. I had the BFD's 18x9 on Duratracs prior to this setup. When I first saw the SR8's I fell in love with them and threw my Konigs up for sale immediately.

 

my previous Duratracs and know these Cooper STT Maxx tires are the best I've owned as far as snow and rain. Looks wise, the I like the Coopers much better.

 

Ahhh, I don't remember if they were c load but I can text my buddy that I sold them to and find out. The Duratracs were 295's so they were a tad bigger than my 285's so they were a a bit heavier but not noticeable at all between the 2.

 

I just put some Toyo RTs on my Baja. I only have about 500 miles on them so far but they are performing very well. I took them on some muddy/rocky roads last weekend and they were significantly better than the stock KOs. I know they have limited sizes but I would recommend them to anyone looking for new tires.

 

Id like to add in on the rear suspension.

I bought the Wheelers Progressive AAL. Its nice, but my passenger side spring sagged more then my drivers from a super saggy spring. I do regret for not installing the Dakar's and removing the Overload. Even with the AAL there's a 1/2" difference from side to side.

I also have the Firestone Airbags with the Daystar cradles. I use them when hauling or towing. They work great. Down fall to the cradles is that the will smack the airbags if not fully inflated.

My next purchase will be the Dakar's and to replace the rear springs all together. The AAL is really just a bandaid.

 

So I love the stock TRD wheels from my Baja, but was curious if anyone has any good recommendations size wise for some 32-33" tires for these wheels? I love the Toyo Open country MTs, but wasn't sure if it would be smarter to get different wheels in case of backspacing and such.

285/75/16 and some spider trax wheel spacers to bump them out a little bit.

 

Yeah, I remember you had problems....I think you just had a bad set of spring to start off with unfortunately.

 

Hell yea man I already got the spacers! Also have people been able to fit bigger than the stock size tires on their bajas since we technically get another inch or two than the stock ones? Thanks for the recommendation!

Absolutely, I had 295/65/18 wheels on there before what I have now. All you'll need to do is remove the mud flaps and probably trim a very small amount of plastic towards the bottom of the front wheel well.

 

Damn I just put new tires on. Was your ride any more sluggish with those wheels? Im actually putting on some fiberglass fenders so the front wont be a problem in a week haha. What do you have on there now?

Anybody has used these on their TX Goodyear Authority? I keep reading good reviews about them, they seem to be cheap for the quality that is advertised.

 

Never tried out goodyear stuff, Im sure there are decent. What are you looking to use them for? Did you ever decide to paint the emblems?

Not yet, only other thing I did was turned the tires inside out so the white letters wasn't showing.
As for needs I just want something that looks more meaty compare to the factory ones, most of my driving is around town only live about 3 minutes from work.

 

Well now that is a bitch'n commute!
