The quality difference between any jeep or dodge product and a toyota product is night and day.

Maybe it would look better with a beefier tire.

recommend predator steps over running boards if you can get them thrown in. Looks much better.


I took those damn things off the second I got it home. I'll sell them cheap if anybody wants them.

I may take you up on it.
My kids will need a step.

How much?

Any idea of the max tire size on these?

Without a lift?

Probably a 285/75

Check a Tacoma forum. There’s a chart that’ll tell you what you can put with certain truck heights.

255/85/16s look badass on these. May take some trimming

265s are the best without any mods

I’m on Nashville.
I’ll track you down in a couple of weeks if my truck doesn’t have steps.

Just cut to the chase and get sliders with steps. Way beefier than just regular tube steps

The blue looks fun, because why not?

The new Tacomas are at least as big as full size trucks were back in the 80s & 90s.


How do you figure?

GMs in the 90s didn’t look that big from the outside, at least height, but were roomy inside. Ford and Ram were big inside and out.

I hate what they’ve done to the front end. Bought a used 2015 last year with 19k miles because I just didn’t like the newer models.

I like the front end.
Plenty of approach angle.

A little word of advice: you better have that bad boy checked out for leaks, wet carpet, and black mold. Tacoma’s are notoriously bad to leak around the 3rd brakelight. This is a major issue.


This is the first I’ve heard of this.
