I'm sure this guy is REALLY good at what he does if he's a millionaire, but I watched that first video and didn't really see anything other than shopping around for the best deal. Admittedly I didn't pay 100% attention to the entire video but from what I can tell, he just shopped around and...
In my opinion, prices are what they are. Tacomas have always been priced higher than other midsize trucks. It's like an iPhone. Does everyone NEED an iPhone, absolutely not. But are they the most popular phone on the planet (I'm an android guy), absolutely. Popularity drives the brand tax. That...
Just got mine installed! I have a molle panel on the rails so i used the molle panels themselves. The install was super easy and they look great (IMHO)! Thank you to @Mabett for working with me on sending out this product.
I have the bakflip MX4, which basically mirrors the OEM install. The rails don't have to be lowered on the bakflip MX4 and I'm mostly sure that the OEM doesn't need to lower the rails either, but I could be wrong. That being said, it is a tight squeeze once you try to get the hardware in there...
The sticker looks to be painted. That being said, that wouldn't be the reason I don't get that truck. Seems like a good deal. I think it just comes down to how much you trust the dealership and their warranty on a used vehicle. If it's a sticker, that makes it easy. If not, then I'm sure any...
I currently have a bakflip mx4 tonneau cover without the t-slot railing. I'd love to put a full size spare on top of my tonneau cover when I'm going off-road but I don't have any tie-down points. I was wondering if anyone had any solutions? I was thinking of drilling in some tie-down hooks but...
These are the current calculations. Diameter diff and Width diff are the differences to my current spare (245/75/r17). I'm thinking that 255/75/r17 seems reasonable with a possibility to 235/80/r17 as an alternative. It looks like the full size spare drops rear clearence by only 1.5 inches so...
I did find this by googling but I don't know enough about trucks to know if that's ok to run, even if just for a few miles as a spare. This is the closest size in Nitto Terra Grappler G3 which is what I'm currently running.
Width Comparison
285/70R17 Width: 285 mm (approximately 11.2 inches)...
I have a stock wheel, running a 285/70/r17 on my truck. I haven't upgraded the spare with the same tire as I have on my truck because I've read that a full size spare really impacts the rear clearance. I'm wondering if there's another size I should be looking at to use as a spare that is good...
Something you might want to check @Baltimore. Is your phone the primarily linked device to your truck? I posted some photos from mine. Basically you want to go into the personal info setting and click Manage Devices. Make sure your device is the primary device linked to your profile.
