Yeah, the OEM spare was showing signs of rubbing as well (16,000 miles on the truck) so I don't think it's specifically related to the larger spare. I also did consider cutting up a bicycle tire and laying it on the wear zones and may still do so.
My last truck was a 2016 GMC Canyon and there...
Good point concerning the extended lugs. I haven't tried them with the spare but I'm not chancing it. I carry a wheel's worth of the OEM lugs with me as you suggest.
For the blocks, I carry some leveling blocks for when I'm camping to help level the truck but cut 2x6 would work fine. I'm...
I'm sure you could use the OEM spare but I think there are caveats.
For one thing I think you'd almost have to have the spare on the front. If you get a flat on the rear and use the OEM spare with an inch difference (32" vs 33") the truck would think one side is spinning due to the size...
I finally upgraded my spare tire today.
When I bought the Tacoma ('24 Off-Road) almost a year ago one of the first things I did was replace the stock tires and wheels with BFGoodrich KO3 tires (285/70 R17) on Method MR705 wheels. I'm very happy with this set up and intend to keep this size...
Right. I believe that's the case with all those solutions with the exception of the Bulletpoint. My point was simply that if it's a permanent install then I'm fine with just drilling some holes and calling it done. It's cheap enough to replace (or at least I hope it's not in the hundreds of...
All of those seem expensive to me. Bulletpoint just came out with RubiGrid product and it's a steal at $50. That said, it's a different solution than all the others. Bulletpoint's solution doesn't replace the plastic piece, it just mounts on top of it. That's one way to do it but I got to...
Nice set up. Can you charge the battery from both alternator and solar at the same time or do you have some sort of switch to only charge from one or the other (automatically or manually switched)?
When I was looking for a solution my primary concern was I wanted to charge from solar whenever...
First, I don't really have a dog in this fight. My grill shutters so far haven't been affected by any wiring gremlins and I was able to install my bumper/winch without any major modifications.
That said, another forum member installed the bumper light mount kit w/lights from SDHQ Offroad. The...
Nice pics. They look great! I'm curious though about how comfortable they are, how well the seat heaters still work with them on (a couple of comments say the seat heaters work just fine) and how they feel when it's 100 degrees out (probably no one knows yet...).
Everyone talks about the...
Eddie and his wife are great people who make a very nice product. They needed a 4th gen Tacoma so I visited them last summer so they could test fit the attic and divider between the front and rear and I ended up keeping both products. I would have never considered the attic net prior to having...
I'm running the KO3 with a C rating and I'm perfectly happy with them. I personally don't see any reason to run an E rated tire, even with all the weight I'm carrying.
There's a thread on Alldogs Off Road springs that's been posted in the past couple of days for front springs. I don't have the link off the top of my head but I'm sure you can find it if you search the forum. If nothing else, here's the Youtube video where they go into the install (I have yet...
Looking good. Love the Lone Peak!!!! It is funny how much further forward it sits over the roof with the five foot bed as opposed to where mine sits on the six foot bed.
I'm curious where you ended up relocating the solenoid to and how it's working now? When I was contemplating whether or not I needed to relocate the solenoid I was struggling to find a good place to put it.
Another member here bought a light mount kit from SDHQ Offroad and the kit comes with...
I should mention that although the solenoid fit on my install, apparently it does NOT with the Covert bumper, thus them including a relocation bracket. Not sure why this is. The only thing I can think is that the winch must sit lower with the Super Stock Bumper, but why? IDK.
Intro (feel free to jump to the installation portion):
First of all, let me start off by saying that this post is not meant to be a negative review of CBI. I'll try to state facts and be constructive in any criticism I might have. Interestingly though, as I'm typing this I'm also attempting to...
