Willman's 2001 Tacoma

[Willman]

Order up some Method Double standards for my Birthday!

I'm going back to a 16" rim. Now to find some new rubber. It's either going to be the Duratac's or the BFG AT's. Also looking at running a 265/75/16 to save mpg's....

Fake beadlocks? Nic your killing me

 

[Willman]

Real!

No....I wish...Those are $$$ per wheel.

The bolts can be removed. I might paint them to blend in better.

Leave them... takes the heat off of real beadlocks, officers don't often know the difference.

Street loc baby!

Is it still top secret? I really like that design.

Late Birthday gift. Method Double Standards:

Hopefully get them mounted up this saturday. AT's Looking pretty hard to bet.

New Shoes!

The Goodyears are a little bigger then the AT's in the 265's.

Driveway poser shot:

Overall very happy so far.

• The truck is a little faster
• Brakes easier
• A lot less road noise
• Wheels are sharp!

I now hear my muffler louder in the the cab. Might have to tune that down (replace or extend tail pipe out the back). Extending the tail pipe is a start.

Though they can be notably smaller (shorter) than 33" options, a 265 tire is really a very practical size and choice for many trucks, particularly if not running lower gears. The all-around performance is often better everywhere (except difficult dirt) and a 265 is the size I often recommend if someone wants to carry a spare in the stock location and not mess with the compromises of running 33s.

Truck looks good with them too, doesn't appear small.

Nice Nic.

Looks great Nic. Then I am partial to black rim clad rigs.

Thanks guys!

I'm so far really happy with the new package. Even the wife thinks it drives better. I will be tracking the MPG's for sure....

Did you end up with load range C nic? If so, any chance you got a wheel and tire weight figure?

Thanks!

Wheel is 23 +/- LBS and the tire is 45 LBS....Not too bad.

The 265's really don't like my 4.88 gears on the highway.....70 = 2900 RMP....Not bad but not the best mpg....I was getting between 14.5 to 16.5 on the Highway. Looking at jumping sizes to the 285...
