    Milestar Patagonia MTs

    The ST Maxx is a solid tire. Really the only negative I read about them is a propensity to pull to one side and that's mostly from Tacoma owners.

    This is the tread contact patch of a Patagonia at 35psi and 7psi on a 6,000lb Wrangler.

    Milestar Patagonia MTs

    I agree, I wouldn't recommend the Pats for towing. The compound is just too soft and you ride mostly on the center tread so wear will be terrible with heavy loads I would think. If you don't need hardcore offroad traction then something like the AT3 XLT would be a better choice for heavy...

    Milestar Patagonia MTs

    I think the reviewers that say the Pats are silent or very quiet are either driving vehicles that already exhibit alot of road noise or are used to true MTs or both. They are not silient but are not loud either. Once I got my poor alignment fixed and put another 500+ miles on them the occilating...

    What tire size are you running?

    Aye, 33s are great for a daily driven rig and 35s are the best bet for a more off-road rig. 37s really start to push it for these trucks. A lot of fender work is required and the likelihood of breaking a CV goes way up with the front locker on the ZR2 but only a Dana 32.

    What tire size are you running?

    It's not common nor is it easy. :) This is the first 2nd Gen I've seen on 37s. This year he finally swapped out the temp 37s for Patagonias. Here's how he did it.

    What tire size are you running?

    Running 33" (285/70/17) Patagonias with 3"+ lift. Being a truck I'd really like to move up to a 35" for more ground clearance but that will require regearing from 3.42 to 4.10s to maintain oem-like final ratio. I'd also need to upgrade the front brakes. Rears have been done, sorta.

    King coilover preload adjustment hack

    Because I'm cheap I didn't want to spend $40 on the special T handle collar adjustment tool needed to clear the shock tower bracing on my truck. Without it it is very difficult to get a complete turn on the adjustment collar. I tried using the supplied tool without it being fully seated in the...

    2020 Tacoma Off Road Build

    Congrats, it's a nice truck. Taking it slow and moding only what's truly needed is the smartest path.
