    Yeah I should probably do it this summer. It's only like 500 bucks for the parts, and my father in law will help me do it. I've been holding off on any major mods on my truck and putting the money towards maintenance, I want to keep it for a long time.

    I'm trying to get an excuse to put new brakes on mine because I want to put performance calipers and pads on, but unfortunately the truck is braking fine. Trying to convince my wallet I need performance parts for my mall crawling is not proving effective.

    Same boat here. Need tires, going for michelin defenders since I don't off-road. I really want TRD Pro rims, but I haven't decided If I want to do it or not. When you pay cash for everything it stings a lot more lol

    ive had Michelin Defender LTX Tires on my Tacoma in the past. They were a great highway tire. Good on dry, wet, light snow, and ice. Not for off pavement though. They are a nice ride and quiet. They also have the 3 peak symbol. 70000 mile warranty. I had P265/70R16. Costco doesn’t allow a larger tire for your truck, only O.E. Sizes. At least that is this way at my local Costco.

    Depends on the costco... but generally yes, we're supposed to stay with the stock size. At my store we play it by ear a bit more, we have a bit of an off road Toyota crew in our Tire Center.

    My good Traffic advisor came last week, this is the setup so far. Still got a couple more lights to install (my grille lights) and need to splice the dash light to the Aux light wires on my TA controller.
