Thanks for the offer! If I can clear up my schedule in the near future I might have to take you up on it. I just came across your thread on Tundra Solutions, did you ever end up adding UCAs? Also, did you have the guys at Slee instal your OME kit, and if so was it reasonable? I installed the...

The UCAs are definitely stock, I'm not sure the wheels are stock to the tundra though... No spacers, and only minor rubbing at extreme angles, not enough to cause issues. I am looking into replacing the UCAs when I upgrade suspension, and/or changing the wheels to something with more offset. I...

Yup, 285/75R16 BFG ATs. Stock suspension with spacer for about 3in of lift up front, add-a-leaf in the rear. The prior owner had the spacers installed. I'm leaning towards the OME setup from Slee Off Road, it's the setup I went with on my 02 AC and loved. I have been a little concerned about...

2006 Tundra DC TRD Lots of awesome rigs! Here's mine, near Sugarloaf on Switzerland Trail.

One week from today, 2 Jan, marks the departure date for our extended vacation. Three of us will depart from Prescott, Az. to traverse Mexico, Central America, and South America: going all the way to Ushuaia. We will then work our way back up to the US, returning in mid to late May. The...

While not on the top of my list, it hasn't been ruled out! I like 4runner by the way, I had an 89 that I used and abused all across Arizona, California and a couple trips south of the border. I'd like to get back into one someday... Slee Off road offers a pieced together kit: "2 x OME885 Front...

When you put it that way my fears seem pretty silly. My thought was that I often cruise at 80-85 and I felt like that wasn't a big enough buffer, but I didn't think about those ratings being for while at full load... Learning is occurring! I really like the idea of saving some money and...

Thank you all for your input. I have decided to keep the Tundra :smiley_drive: During the 3 years I've owned it I've done nothing but routine maintenance and tires, so its time to give the ol' girl some lovin'. at 170k+ miles the stock suspension (paired with a spacer up front) needs to go, the...

No i'm not opposed to a 2nd gen Taco, their just not as high on my list. I like the smaller dimensions of the 1st gen and can live with the automatic, in fact I'm pretty sure it's the same transmission I have n my tundra... As for the Frontier I know it's larger, similar to a 2nd gen Taco, but...

Ok, good to know! Im not sure about running mud terrains, I'll have to check out those ST's. 40-50k sounds decent to me. The only tires I've ever ran from new are my current 285/75, at 60k and would have probably been god fo another 5k plus but some recent wheeling in some loos sharp Arizona...

Sounds like 255's are a go! well provided I keep the truck... Jim65wagon, what made you choose the coopers over say a BFG or Maxxis? Also what kind of millage did you get out of your first two sets?

That's some good info on the Frontiers. I'm gonna try to get some test drives in this weekend, hopefully that will narrow down my choices... I'm glad you chimed in Scott, the Epeditions west taco is very inspiring. If I do keep my Tundra new tires will be going on shortly. I'm really liking the...

I'm aware of the weak front diff in the Frontier and would make allotments for a Titan diff swap down the road. I'm mainly looking at the 01-04 Tacos and 05+ Frontier, so I'd be buying used. By selling my truck to a private buyer there shouldn't be to extreme of an overhead. I've heard great...

Hello, I've been lurking on this site for quite some time now. This is my first post. I'll try to get some posts of my recent trips, including an 11k mile rode trip around the US on my 04 KLR650. Today however I'm interested in your opinions of the 1st gen double cab Taco, 2nd gen Frontier and...
