    Archived Asking for your advice on paid advertisements...

    Tyler, I think your view is what keeps this forum pure. What is cool is what each individual does to their truck because that is what they like not because you used a product being promoted by others or because it is popular. Many times these paths cross and I'm good with that too. Thanks for...

    A buddy at work did the 255's with stock wheels, it looks and performs great and actually a bit taller. Share pics when you decide!

    Will the ECT on a Tacoma work in 4 wheel drive?

    Yes, it performs about the same as it does on road in 2wd!

    Biggest tires for stock 2019 TRD Pro

    No rubbing issues, I do have a Cab Mount Chop (CMC), but with proper alignment deviations and no CMC it was minimal... Prior to CMC only at full lock with extreme articulation on trail.

    Thoughts on 285/70/16s - do both require cutting with 2.5-3" lift?

    I've actually seen spacers make it worst. Rubbing I mentioned is very minimal. You should be fine.
  14. SDCementTacoTruck

    Thoughts on 285/70/16s - do both require cutting with 2.5-3" lift?

    I have exactly what you are mentioning and was able to run with no cutting and only had rubbing during full lock turns and full suspension tuck while off roading. May need to adjust alignment to push wheels forward but most off road shops who do alignment know how to do this. I have since had a...

    Old guy, Second Tacoma-2017 TRD Sport Dbl cab long bed.. Soon to be a build thread. I'll call her Black Magic Woman,

    This would be almost a 35" tire, I would say yes you need a lift and probably a Cab Mount Chop (CMC). Good luck

    Old guy, Second Tacoma-2017 TRD Sport Dbl cab long bed.. Soon to be a build thread. I'll call her Black Magic Woman,

    Tires: 31" (265/75r17) tires should fit with no problem and no lift. If you go to 33's 285/75r16 or 285/70r17, you would need a lift (see below). I have 33's and only tire rub was as full lock and extreme tire compression while off-road. to achieve this you do need to have alignment adjusted...

    33’s 2” leveling kit

    The 2" leveling kit should be better, with the right alignment adjustment, you should have minimal rubbing.
  22. SDCementTacoTruck

    Suspension Lift

    You may want to consider 285/70r17 as well. I suggest pay one, cry once... get a king or icon suspension lift with OME rear springs (can also use AAL), and you should be good to go... if you think you will up tire size later then consider a cab mount chop (CMC) but not necessary for he 33" tire...

    Biggest tires for stock 2019 TRD Pro

    I assume your asking with no rubbing... 265/75 r16. On other forums I have read guys claiming 255/85 r16 with no rubbing on stock. They are still a bit taller than the 285/75r16, just a narrower tire. I have a buddy who uses these and likes them but he does have a small lift.

    Bed stiffners installed

    They do exactly what their name suggests, they stiffen the bed from flexing. The beds in these trucks are molded plastic and will flex over time. When I added mine I could tell the bed was already coming out of square. If you don't off road much you probably don't need for stiffening the bed...

    Potential for Rubbing?

    Marlin Crawler Tacobox for 3rd gens

    I've had a few times where I felt my Tacoma didn't turn sharp enough where I had to back up or take a less desired line. Feel the more aggressive trail rides have made this a bigger factor.

    One tip for those debadging... after pulling off, use WD-40 soaked on paper towel and the glue comes right off. Also suggest keeping a few dry towels to soak up any dripping WD-40. After, just wash with clean water and wax. WD-40 works great at removing the glue, also use it to take labels off...
