235/85R16 235/85R16 is the size I've been considering. E rated loading, usually 10 ply, 31.7"-32" inch diameter, and in most cases works with the factory wheels. I have checked out the Coopers, but was looking at the STMAXX. Toyo does make a 235 in the A/T and M/T version. I run Toyo Open...

Although lower than I want to be; 37's, a manual and 4.88's doesn't seem too bad. I bet you're close to 2800 rpm at 75mph. For the same rpm's, I'm guessing 4.56's would have only gained you about 5mph on the highway. In comparison to the autos, the manuals are geared quite a bit lower...

Don't get me started- I use this: I believe someone on here actually has a photo of this in use. :) I also use it to charge the Chaser battery. 1 hour every other day keeps the battery in great shape. Happy wife- happy life :)

Update and manual vs auto gearing options I called my Toyota dealer today. The TRD supercharger kit for the 2012's are not available until May. The service manager asked that I call back in May when they would, hopefully, have better information. One more thing. A double cab, V6...

Yeah, it did rain quite a bit! I can attest to that. We were also there in our Chaser. Luckily for Mario and Jeremy, they showed up on the 3rd day of the 5 days of drizzling, constant, rain. :( It was great weather....for ducks and to test for leaks. :)

Thanks for the clarification. Earlier today, I was thinking the same thing regarding locking out the OD. I think that is a workable solution. Thaks for the lead. I'll check them out. I know what you mean, I prefer levers as well. Must be a Jeep type thing. :) I also prefer...

I wasn't aware of that. More details to check out. Thanks I like ur attitude. :ar15: :)

That has also been on my mind. My hope is that the engineers have evaluated the additional stress on the engine internals and have determined they are up to the task. I believe the boost of the supercharger has been held down in an attempt to NOT blow anything up.

I came to the same conclusion on the 4.88's, not going to be real comfortable at hghway speeds for 6 hours. Gas mileage is also a factor...looking for a blend of usable power with acceptable gas mileage. Maybe "flux capacitor" is the answer? :D Thanks. I'll throw up a build thread when I get...

Yeah, I know. That's why I was glad to see Downhill pick up on this thread. :) Looking at the engine speeds in OD, looks like the Tacoma would be pretty anemic until about 75. My guess is there would be a lot of shifting into 4th on any kind of grade below 75. The SC might add enough...

More- Downhill, glad to see you got in on this! Lots of good points here. As many of you have pointed out, mechanical reliability is #1. Like cruiseroutfit mentioned, I also assumed the TRD SC is a Toyota factory engineered and integrated product for the Tacoma. Toyota's extension of the...

More questions Thanks for the reply and the link. I read the thread. Many say "re-gear" and don't give much reasoning behind their decision. (Cruiseroutfit excepted.) I was hoping for a little more technically backed debate. Folks seem to be regearing to 4.88 to put the engine in the...

I am a new owner of a 2012 Tacoma. As some of you may know I am building the Tacoma as an overlanding rig. After discussing gearing in some other threads gearing-and-255-85-tire several Tacoma owners have elected to gear 4.56 or 4.88. This gearing gets the 4.0L in the 2500-2700rpm range,at...

Have you done anything to correct the inaccurate vehicle speed reported to the transmission and ECU due to the larger tires? This had a huge affect on my JKU's shift points when I went to the 37s.

Adding a Toyota Congratulations. You'll love the '12 Jeep. A buddy of mine just bought one last fall. The new engine and tranny are a great match. We're doing just the opposite, adding a Toyota to the mix. We have a 2011, highly modified, Mango Tango, Rubicon Unlimted for the hard core...

:iagree:

Sounds interesting. I'd like to see a photo when you get it out of storage.

Can you say Hijacked thread? LOL, not exactly...:D I may have wandered just a bit from the original topic. Sorry about the hijack. Glad to hear that you're running in the mid 15's. That's where I hope to end up. How are you equipped? (i.e. armor, engine, auto or manual, wheels, tires...

It's an auto. Manuals are slim to non-existent around here. Know what you mean about the skids. The LoD slider's on the Jeep are heavy, but durable. I'm anticipating the biggest decisions on this build is going to be the weight vs strength issue. I'll be tracking the weight coming off vs...
