oh, man. I gotta think it’s more than that at this point.

if it means anything, I like your new truck better.

ha ha. Funny. Not funny.

I would assume so. It sounds like most people are losing gears 1-5 and it will only rev at that point.

Does that mean this is all primarily debris related, as with the Tundra engines? Genuine question.

I read somewhere that people drive to Midwest Toyota to avoid Eddy’s.

For reference, my Pro was week 30, so end of July. It was built 8/6 or 8/7. Got the permanent vin 8/7. Arrival to dealer changed from 8/23-9/17 to 9/3-9/16. That’s all I know. Haven’t heard anything from the dealer for a couple of weeks.

I thought someone mentioned heat dissipation was likely the rationale for the 18” wheels, to give the brakes some room to breathe. Don’t shoot me, I’m not mechanically inclined.

Another video showing this story on YouTube.

I’m mostly worried about a few reports of punctures. I don’t want to be 12 miles deep in the remote mountains worrying about punctures with an SL load tire.

I think that’s the idea, but I don’t know. They are HEAVY comparatively. So, your guess is my guess.

I think I’ve convinced myself the tire says 6-ply and that the size is 285/70r18 (though I can’t read the size, just guessing) based on it being a load range c 6-ply and their available 18” tires sizes on Falken’s website. What do we think? Can anyone tell from the tread pattern on the spare if...

Here’s a couple zoomed in shots for those wanting to know, as well. Sorry for my terrible editing skills.

interestingly, I saw my first pro in person this weekend. He was ripping through my neighborhood, incidentally. I had to haul ass down the highway to catch him and get a better look. Ha ha. I saw him in town later and snapped a pic of his truck (not sure if he is here, sorry for being a creeper...

Interesting. I’d like to see some other confirmation of this from folks who’ve added struts. I will do this to mine if it sounds like that is stabilizing things.

Exciting. Looking forward to seeing how the build turns out! Keep posting progress.

Nice! I bet you are out of your mind excited. Post up when you get it and initial thought and all that.

I think the general consensus is no. There is a width issue, front to rear, as well as the issue of the spare hanging too low with a bigger size. I am going to try to fit a true 34, 285/70r18, when I get mine. I will post back and let folks know the verdict.

Looks great. How were the wranglers? I’m planning to replace them for fear of punctures.

Oh, man. I really hope these fixes are now being included in the new builds. Mine just got built a week ago. Thanks for going through this and reporting back on what’s happening. Sorry it’s happened though.
