  1. Your new truck probably needs an alignment

    I would just ask your offroad shop to zero out the front end and see how that feels.
  2. Your new truck probably needs an alignment

    Some toe in is normal, maybe like .05 as a spec on some street cars, to promote stability... but there's no reason to not zero that shit out if you just want a neutral starting point to observe tire wear... or you just want zero toe, which is fine too (and is the spec for the other trim 4Gs)
  3. Your new truck probably needs an alignment

    Why so much toe in front :question: Going wear the outside edge of your tires pretty fast.
  4. Your new truck probably needs an alignment

    Do you get any pulling with .30 thrust angle rear? Kind of crazy that's how Toyota leaves the 4 link rear end from the factory.
  5. Justin’s do-it-all TRD Off-Road build

    Put it in 4Lo and let it shift up through the gears so you can go more than 5mph lol In 4Hi it's slipping the torque converter too much for any real uphill work, even in S shift mode. In 4Lo it locks up the torque converter, cuts down on the heat a lot. Oversized wheels and tires will also...
  6. Sheet metal defects

    The aluminum hood and bedsides definitely should be steel and weigh more :lipssealed:
  7. Sheet metal defects

    You didn't add any pics of your "defects" lol
  8. Brake line recall - technician forgot to replug the radiator fan

    Seems like there's a few cases of Toyota techs forgetting to plug (radiator?) fan back in after BSM (if that's what you mean by camera)
  9. Wide VS Narrow Tires (Pizza Cutters to Wide)

    You're telling me these R888Rs aren't great for mobbing down a flooded freeway?? shocked 😳 :cwl:
  10. Wide VS Narrow Tires (Pizza Cutters to Wide)

    Why anyone would argue bike stuff with you after you posted a Sheldon Brown link is beyond me lol og cycle people know he is the source of truth for all things bicycle... But yeah I mean the thing is even going down to 235/85/17 or something from a 275 it's maybe a 1.5" tread width difference...
  11. Drove Up To Santiago Peak

    Thank you! I'm envious of SoCal and their truck trails/OHV parks too :cwl: We live up North in the Bay Area. We're going to try to move to SoCal next year though. ...Which made me a little nervous doing this offroading since if I broke the truck we were 450 miles from home LOL
  12. Wide VS Narrow Tires (Pizza Cutters to Wide)

    I just want to drop a little bit of data in https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/testDisplay.jsp?ttid=296&fbclid=IwAR28NopDGeK6jQN1u6DtQAXgIvFQ2dyLtTrfy9UJbBq4z2aD5Ff64Sswn7M Wider tires have a harder job to do than skinny tires because they have to move more water out of the way of their...
  13. Your new truck probably needs an alignment

    Ideally, everyone's truck should be pretty much zero in the rear for every measurement and then zero up front for camber and toe. Variation of rear specs on solid axle setups is just the assembly line guys torquing one side more than the other or something. Small differences in new bushings and...
  14. Your new truck probably needs an alignment

    After looking at the charts I've seen here on 4G forums I think people should be happy if they leave the shop without an insane amount of cross toe LOL But yeah there's more to it than zero toe but expecting anything but a performance or tuner shop to get it right it asking a lot. Dynamic...
  15. Drove Up To Santiago Peak

    1000% impossible if its muddy at all You'd just slide off the mountain 😂 Lots of sections were impassable by two vehicles at the same time so even in good conditions it got complicated. Road up to the peak on the right just for a sense of the cliff lol You are not recovering your truck if...
  16. Wide VS Narrow Tires (Pizza Cutters to Wide)

    This is actually true and why bicycle tires don't need tread at all to be safe in the wet. The PSI of the contact patch surface area is so high the water is squished away. Some small motorcycles/scooters mostly have tread for looks, once you get to larger street bikes the tread actually plays a...
  17. Wide VS Narrow Tires (Pizza Cutters to Wide)

    Wider tires always perform worse in the wet. You need to siphon water away from the tire as fastly as possible, so what happens when you increase surface area of the tire.. You do have more dry lateral grip but we're talking about a pickup truck here not a sports cars so nobody should be...
  18. Wide VS Narrow Tires (Pizza Cutters to Wide)

    This is not true. Wider tires require more tread depth to move the water from the center of the tire, off the shoulder of the tire. Skinnier tires hydroplane less easily and don't require as much siping to move water from the center of the tread. If you are running out of grip on a 10" wide...
  19. Random 2024 Tacoma 4th Gen Photos of the Day - Post Yours! 📸 🤳

    I got pinstripes everywhere from the trails, a few through the clear, it is what it is. I have the title so I can do what I want with it :cwl: There's even more than these two, there's a huge one through the clear coat down the passenger bedside
