Good vid, nice smooth driving, impressive time..

I was always sad to see trucks at rallies, I mean, of course they can, but it’s like showing up to an autocross with a Lotus Seven..

I’ve always been pretty impressed at how well I can hustle my Tacoma around. Once you get past the initial roll, it will hang nicely in sweepers.

Our 2nd gen loved fresh snow - blizzaks mean you can hang it out and play, then behave like an adult a second later..

3rd gen needs buttons and switch sequence s to have fun - otherwise lights flash and everything gets back in line..

Hopefully we get some real snow this winter to test that out!

Looking forward to getting off the OEM set.

I’m pretty sure my oem are finished - they were never very good in wet and hydroplaned like crazy.. I’ve got the winters on now but come spring it will be AT time..

Friends are swearing by the Toyo RT over my standard K02.. we’ll see..

Great photo.

I’ve been hearing really good things about the Falken Wildpeak A/T3Ws.

Not really sure why it wouldn't rally. Looked like a massive amount of fun though.

Yep, My brother just put them on his new Fronty as a year- round, no- worries, all terrain. I think they look good;

Also thinking about going with “pizza cutter” 33s... They’ll fit with no lift. We’ll see.

same with the GX, only you can’t really turn it all off.  You can lock the center diff which disables vsc, but trac is still active, so trying to do donuts results in lots of angry braking noises as you spin in circles.

only problem with pizza cutters is finding a tire.  There aren’t many in that size.

Most would say Tacomas bread and butter is offroad;

I mean, even Toyota themselves rallies a Yaris and takes a Hilux and a Cruiser to Dakar;

My winters are 255/70R17 31" and stock oem 265/65R17 are 30.5". Next will be back to 265/70R17 which is a hare under 32" No lift.

This is what I have on my ‘61 Ford, they’re great. Although “handling” isn’t a word I’d really use to describe anything that truck does. They’re good in the little bit of off-road driving I’ve done, though.

Haha - thanks for the recommendation!

Yep.

32s will probably be fine, b ut sounds like the extra 1" makes 1st gear a little more usable, and 6th a better interstate gear.

Yeah, no lift for me either. Will be 32s or skinny 33s.

I never said they weren’t good offroad.

You can kinda watch A trac working in that first gif too
