What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

So I decided to remove the “Toyota” along with the “v6” emblems. I love the old school decals so I had to ad one.

 

Mines more jacked up on the outside then the inside

 

I got a buddy who works at the local dealer. I was about to spray mine for precaution and he told me about the service notice. I made an appointment and he checked it out. Said it’s solid so they will treat it. He told me to wait to coat the outside of mine until they do their work.

 

Installed ICON RXT leaf packs on option 2 as well as Archive garage flip kit. Waiting on the rest of my order! Ck our the rake tho!! Haha

 

Added some 285's and love the look but mpg took a big hit.

 

I was literally looking at these tires, do you have any rubbing with them? I think I’m going to replace my 31” KO2s with these in the same size you have

 

Was very set on taking my shell off, a decent part of me just prefers a truck without a shell.. However in talking with the girlfriend, she started ask why and proceeded to remind me of all the benefits a shell has. So I ended up ignoring the inner self and decided to leave it on.

 

Zero rubbing. i do have Toytec coils and 5100's up front on the mid notch and did cut the lower fender flare just a bit. No frame chop.

 

Look great, interesting to know about the MPG though.

 

Do you have any lift on it? He's running the Bilstein 5100's and to run a 285 tire I'm guessing he has them set to 3' of lift and a cab mount chop. I have the same tires but I'm running a 295/75/16. I like them a lot.

 

Stock fog lights mod onto the hybrid

 

2 long 3/8 grade 8 bolts are my new favorite tools to adjust preload on coilovers. The threads grip the inside of the holes in the collar really well.

 

I live in a really flat part of the country so take my #'s with a grain of salt. Consistent 65mph would yield me 20-21mpg with 265/70's and no back wind with the 285 Coopers havent seen anthing above 18.5. I use a Scanguage for consistency. So a loss of about 2-2.5mpg.

 

Got these installed today by @Bot_Chu

 

Whatever it takes! I use a 5/8's punch. Works just the same!

 

I’m on highway 265/70/R16’s at the moment have been thinking about a tire upgrade, either 265/75/r16’s (which I’ve had on a previous truck) or 285/75/r16’s. I’m just trying to consider cost, MPG, advantages of the bigger tire and of course, the overall look. So I appreciate the feedback

 

I always look to this forum for answers to questions i know have already been asked. Glad my post helped some. Would i do it, again absolutely.

 

The information people like you provide is always greatly appreciated. Enjoy the tires!

 

Are they the AT3 XLT’s or AT3’s?

 

AT3 XLT's
