    ImMrYo Rear view mirror lift bracket. Changed out mud flaps. Salex glove box organizer. OEM Ashtray (cup). AVS Step Shields. 16x8 SCS F5 Matte Jet Black. 265/75 16 Cooper St Maxx. OME Bp-51s. U.S. Offroad Winch Mount (in process) Smittybuilt x20 12k synthetic winch (in process) More....
    Tires will make a difference. I replaced my Dunlops with Toyo ATs and had much better traction in the wet and the snow.
    Then I replaced the ATs with Cooper ST Maxx and (after some milage on them) have wet road slippage again. But their great off road and in the snow!

    Had same issue with Toyo AT2s fixed when I got new Falkens. It was down right dangerous with the Toyos and that was trying to drive like I had an egg under the pedal that I didn’t want to break.

    There's a reason people on this forum call them "Dunflops" :p

    Lowering tire pressure could help, but they're just not great tires.

    When I bought my truck used the dealer put on some shitty chinese tires. The first year they were not great, but doable. 2nd year they started spinning way to easy. Final straw was when I drifted through a turn in the light rain(by accident).
    The next week I had Hancook Dynapro ATM's installed. I can still spin the tires, but I have to try. Just flooring it from a stop doesn't do it.

    Joys of owning a Tacoma - needing to buy tires at exactly 36 months of use, with 4/32nds to 5/32nds (maybe a little less than that) of tread remaining. All because we have the composite fiberglass bed, which saves 200 pounds.
