i have a 99 taco and was wondering if i put 33s on with my stock 4:10 gears is it going to ruin somthing ? will it mess somthing up in a short amount of time? what could happen? will i be fine? its a v6 3.4L

 

Your truck will explode into hellish ball of fire. DO NOT PUT LARGER TIRES ON IT!!!

 

well i know ur not being serious but what exactly are you trying to say

 

your truck will be good, just less power

 

well am i gonna fry somthing in a couple of months or not at all?

 

and how much less power

 

Some people say they can't notice the small amount of power loss, some people say they did notice. It's not that big of a jump. You might find yourself having to use 4th going up hills on the highway, but you've got 190hp so it shouldn't be that big of a deal. I'd at least plan on changing gears sometime in the future, but you will be perfectly fine to drive like that.

 

your truck will be fine. it doesn't know/care if you are driving on 25" tires, 33" tires, 35" tires, etc. (as long as all 4 are pretty much the same size). Your speedometer will be off but that's all.

 

REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE:

I have a 2003 Tacoma 4wd DC with auto tranny and 4.10's.

I am running 285/75R16's (33's, for all intents and purposes). I have been for well over 2 years.

With the exception of needing to use the OD button more often on long distance trips up hills, and a slight drop in gas mileage, I have experienced NO problems. I could even chalk up the drop in mileage to the fact that I am running steel rims which are heavier than aluminum.

...Unless you consider the ability to crawl over obstacles that I wasn't able to crawl over with 31's a drawback. In that case then, yeah.

 

thanks yall

 

Hi everyone, I have recently swapped from the evil world of Jeep (2004 Rubicon) to become a proud owner of a 2009 Tacoma Double Cab 4x4. It is time for the mods to start and I was wondering if anyone knew what the largest size tire is that you can fit on the stock truck? The truck will be used for overlanding, not rockcrawling. Thanks.

 

i have 31 10.5 on when i had my truck stock im thinking 32 to be safe but 33s might be pushin it

 

I'm runnin 33's with the 2.7 and 3:90 gears, been runnin it that way for 2+yrs with no problems.

 

Hit up TTORA, Link in my sig line, They have MANY 05+ tacos and it is a good knowledge base and you will find all the info you need before you have to ask.
Good luck

 

not too much of an issue, I am running 35's on my '81 with a 22R, I have issues with power

hills suck now....


265/70 (75) stock. I did a spacer lift (sucked) on my '05 and ran 285/75/16's on my '05

 

Thanks guys. I am more and more impressed with the truck. By the way, nice truck ocdropzone. Are you happy with the ARB bumper? I have had two and that is going to be the next purchase after tires.

 

sick bumper

 

Idk about the taco... but I got 33's on my 91 3.0 with 4.10's , and I honestly dont notice too much difference.... only on steep hills do I have to downshift, and I actually get better mpg's on the highway from the lower revs...
