    Nitto Ridge Grappler or BFG TA K02 For A Tacoma?

    I've been running the Ridge Grapplers for about 10k miles. I'm about to put them on our 4Runner as well. Great tires. They are holding up very well, are quiet (for AT's) on the highway, and have exceeded expectations off road. Plus they look better than the BFGs in my opinion.

    Blackout Badges versus Overlays

    Overlays work fine. Some people have issues with them not sticking. Make sure you clean the badges well with some rubbing alcohol before you apply them and you should be good. Plus they are cheap enough that if you do lose them the cost to replace is minimal.

    Hello I ordered a 2021 Tacoma yesterday. The dealer said it would be here on Sept 26. are these dates usually good?

    Nothing is “usual” right now when it comes to purchasing a vehicle. However, yes I have heard of several others experiencing similar lead times. Good call on going the new route and not paying new truck money for a used one. Good luck!
  18. jonnnny.p

    What did you purchase recently?

    Got a lightly used iKamper Skycamp 2.0 off FB marketplace with the annex and insulation tent. Picking it up Sunday. Super stoked! Anyone have this set up?

    What vehicles are a guilty pleasure for you?

    I rented this Audi R8 in Vegas for 4 hours and have wanted one since. But, I'll never be able to afford it I'm sure. That V10 power was insane.. Something a little more realistic that I'll maybe one day buy is a BMW M4.

    Agreed. Not necessary. With those specs you'll have no trouble with alignment.

    Spare Tire Mount Ideas

    So I hammered back the rear metal supports and got it jammed in there. It is touching where the leaf mounts on the driver side and is damn near touching the exhaust pipe in the passenger side. You guys think this is alright??

    Thanks! I went through the local Toyota dealer and they actually had it in just a few days. I contacted Headstrong Offroad for price comparison and they had it in stock to ship as well. It seems Icon is doing better at keeping stock than Bilstein is right now. Cheers.

    First Time Tacoma Owner - Build Plan

    Yes, regearing is on my radar eventually as well. Especially if I start adding more weight than I plan. It does fine in these hills of Arkansas now but I do take trips out west and I could see where regearing may be necessary. Thank you!

    First Time Tacoma Owner - Build Plan

    Thanks! I think I'm going to bail on the Decked system idea as it might be overkill for what I'm needing and just unnecessary weight. I don't think I'll ever do a rooftop tent. So maybe I can get by for a while with the AAL. But, I will definitely keep the leaf replacement option in mind if...
