    255/80/17 Nitto Recon Grapplers on a lifted TRD Sport w/ Stock Wheels

    Thanks! I installed elka IFS 2.0 coilovers/rear struts, and dobinsons mid range pack (L59-111-R) in the back. Initially it was about 2.5” in front and 3” unloaded in rear (these leaf packs are rated for 2.25” when loaded). Now after everything has settled, it’s closer to 2 in front and 2.5 in rear.

    Thanks for the link. Got lost in the custom section and completely missed the tactical options on their site.

    Which style did you go with? Leatherette or Rhinohide by any chance?

    Sweet, thanks for the info and recommendations! I still have my spacers, and may give them another go when I have time to mount them, test drive, and deal with any trimming. For now, I’m enjoying the look and ride with the tall boys. Btw I’ve def seen photos of your truck before, your wheel...

    Let's see your current favorite photo of your truck, photography-wise 📸

    I bought a 50mm prime lense to play with depth of field. Still don’t really know what I’m doing. Made it 10 pages into a dslr photography for dummies book and got distracted with life stuff. I try not to go too heavy in Lightroom. My rule of thumb is to edit to the mood when I was there taking...

    Good to know, thanks Mike. Do you recommend buying/borrowing the harness to recalibrate, or just having the dealership do it? (Un)Fortunately, my truck has no say when it comes to shift decisions—it’s all up to this granny shifter

    Thanks! Cool—I like the look of the 255/85, the smaller wheel on the OR makes it look even beefier.

    Update. Couple weeks and a thousand miles in, loving the tires and ride. A couple expectations and realities: E1-Ride would be much harsher on E rated tires. R1-No noticeable difference, but my underloaded leaf packs ride a bit harsh at baseline so I’m used to that. E2-I would need to do...

    What have you done to, or with, your Tacoma today?

    Just mounted the RTT to check clearance exiting the garage with the new, taller tires… Daylight is daylight…right? :oops:

    Gandalf the Blue

    About a week in with the new tires and yesterday I rubbed for the first time. Was fully locked doing a K turn and caught the skid plate. Folded the outer edge of it down like origami. I was able to remove it and bend everything back (plus a little more on each side), but now I suppose there’s...

    Got the Recon Grapplers mounted today, really excited to experience the truck on these things! Here’s a few shots— Also thought it’d be useful, so I made a separate thread to keep track of the tire...
