Thanks!
Wheels are Method MR316's with a 25mm offset and measure 17 x 8-inches. I would recommend getting the 7-series wheels, not the 3-series, because the 7s have "bead lock technology"which allows much lower tire pressures. I made a mistake buying the MR316s.

I was installing the Toyota Trailhunter rear differential guard (bought from Yota Xpedition) and ran into a problem. It wouldn’t fit.
I went to go watch and install video to see what a diff looks like for an install that worked. And it appears as though the one I have is different. Anybody else...
I went with the OEM Trailhunter plates. Incredibly easy to install and reasonably priced (IIRC about $800 for the set). Fit is perfect with some nice slotted bolt holes to help align and get in place -- super helpful if you're installing it solo. It took about 30 minutes to do. Your trim level...
Hello all,
A couple weeks ago I picked up a new 2025 Tacoma TRD Off-Road. Made a little video about it. Looking forward to more adventures this summer.
