What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Hankook RT03s might be a nice option.

 

nice idea pc... may have to try this! welp time to go convince the wife!! wish me luck

 

Wouldn't blame you. People can say they are and old design and don't like them anymore, but they're still a good tire and are proven. They can hold their ground when need be.

 

I have the 2" daystar strut spacers in the front and 2" greasable shackles in the rear. I measured my front fender height before the bumper, and after. It only lowered the front end 1/4" The ARB bumper is higher off the ground than the factory bumper, so it actually makes the truck look higher. You will just have to try it and see how it looks...

 

Says those are a MT

 

yea but a tame MT.

the STTs are nice too or the MAXX ones.

 

I love my stt coopers. Not bad on the highway, I just made a 1500mile round trip with them and the road noise isnt bad and the ride is smooth

 

Just ordered one of those 4"X24" TOYOTA tailgate decals in black. Going to de-badge my tailgate for the decal. I always thought those old school tailgates looked good

 

Yeah the STTs and the MAXX tires are on my list to investigate when the time comes.

 

I have the MaXx and I love them, but think I'll go with the stt's next time

 

Went to play at the Rubicon......then turned around...lol

 

Yeah, liked the BFGs about 15k ago. I was just over how loud they were once they got worn down- Almost all my driving now is 300 miles at a time, so it's nice to have a less aggressive AT on my truck now.

I had the old Cooper ATRs on my last truck, those things were awesome. Hoping Cooper holds out for me again.

 

Changed the oil and filter on my truck. First time that I've done it myself on this truck. I forgot how not fun it is and how it is almost a wash in cost taking it to the quick lube lane at the dealership.

 

speaking of changing oil - did mine yesterday and forgot its only like a 13mm? even my honda was a 17mm iirc

 

14mm. But with the fumoto on mine its a finger push

 

Went out with my dad today, it was pretty fun

 

Same size, same MPG

Nuuu

They only do well in snow when siped. I used to live up in the mountains and I basically had to offroad every day. It got pretty sketchy in the winter since it there was a really steep hill to get in and out. From my experience the siped KM2s actually performed better than my ATs did in the snow. I like them too because they are a bit more aggressive looking but also really don't have any difference in road noise.

 

BAMF BPV relocation bracket installed:



Couple weeks back BigFishAllDay welded some backing nuts on the skid plate tabs he welded up for me on my Elite bumper. Makes dropping and installing the BudBuilt skidplate so much easier.

 

I ordered the same ones from them. I should get mine Tuesday. really good price

 

Today I drove 335 mile from Fort Wort TX to Little Rock AR. I'd say it was about 80% snow and ice. I'm really glad I have a 4X4 and AT tires.
