    Hi All. I bought a great used Taco TRD Off Road. The tires need replacing soon. Currently, I have GY Duratracs. My local "go to" shop has Hanook Dynapros that they are offering. My husband has BF Goodrich baja t/a KO 2 on his f250 and thinks I should go for those. We will be going...

    Ok, so, second question. Seeing as how this is used, and I believe the previous owner did quite a bit of offroading, what would be some of the more common problems it may have as a result?.

    Thanks! I live in Tucson, which has notoriously bad roads, and I definitely feel a difference compared to the old Subaru! But the truck feels really solid! I drove my dad's 84 4runner quite a bit and it had huge aftermarket tires as well. I'm just trying to learn what is normal vs what may...

    Hi all. I just came to own a 2014 Tacoma double cab TRD off-road. It came with after market XD-KCM wheels. Tire size is 275/65/18r. It's a bit of a loud ride (a low roar which I believe are the tires) with not much "pep" (compared to the cars i've owned). I've learned bigger wheels/ tires...
