My son and I are planning our first overlanding/camping trip to Utah and we're looking for any offroad trails/routes (≤ 5 difficulty), sights, camping spots or campground recommendations anyone may have. We'll be there at the beginning of June and have 10 days total in Utah. We're looking to...

Looking for first hand experience/recommendations for a quality 4x4/Off-Road shop, preferably in South or Central FL, in Florida in general. Looking to do a full suspension setup/lift on my LC250. I've seen a lot of YotaMafia's stuff, but they're a 13 hour drive (each way) for me. Looking for...

Is pinstriping in Citrus or Ocala inevitable? I've got a new truck that doesn't have PPF or paint protection. Looking to hit some trails in the area and hopefully avoid destroying the paint. Any trail recommendations/feedback appreciated. Thanks!

I ended up going with the "regular" AT3's in P Metric (285/70R17)

Looking for recommendations on a torque wrench for swapping wheels. I'm leaning towards this 1/2" Gearwrench 30-250 ftlbs click style wrench. The stated accuracy is +/- 3% and its seems to deliver that based on Youtube testing. And it seems like it will fit in the factory tool kit compartment...

Thanks for the input...

I'll kick it off... This isn't my truck but a posting I found in a FB Group and I liked the amount of poke Wheels: Method Race Wheels 318 Dimensions: 18" x 8.5" +40mm Tires: 275/70/R18 Toyo Open Country ATIII Model/Trim: Toyota LC (Base)

Can we start a thread (maybe even a stickie) with photos of your LC250 or GX550, the poke your setup has and the details/spec of wheels and tires? Seems to be a pretty common question on all the forums, FB groups, etc. I know I've been scouring all of them for good photos of how different size...

If the tire manufacturer recommends a 7"- 9" (listed as 7.0 - 8.0 - 9.0 on the website) wide wheel size for a specific tire in certain size, is a 9" wide wheel pushing it, and maxing out or stretching the tire? Or is a 9" wide wheel fine and safe?

Is anyone running a 18" x 9" +40mm offset on the GX or LC? Or 17" x 9" +40mm?

I'm looking for recommendations for a 18" wheel with a +40 offset that fits the LC250. The 18x8 Tacoma TRD +45 offset wheels fit, as well as the TRD Pro 18"x8.5 +47.5 offset fit. Method Race Wheels offer the 708, 319 and 318 in 18" +40. Anyone have any other recommendations or running...

I was looking at the Nitto Ridge Grapplers, I like the aggressive look of the sidewalls and my wife's truck has the Ridge Grapplers so I'm already familiar with the ride characteristics (noise, comfort, etc.). Nitto offers a 285/70/R17 with a 116Q rating. My other choice would be the Toyo Open...

Are you happy with the General Grabbers? I'd never heard of that brand until coming across it on a list of tires people are running on the LC250.

Only because they weigh so much less than the non EV version. 53lbs vs 43lbs in 275/70/18. Looking to save as much of the MPGs and ride characteristics/performance as possible. In a 275/70/18 the Nitto Ridge Grapplers (my first choice) weigh 21 lbs more each than the Michelin LTX Trails. I'm...

(TLDR) Are the differences negligible at real world highway speeds (65 -85 MPH)? Would you even given the difference a second thought? Or should I give more thought to the higher speed rated tire if my use case will be for tires that travels at higher speed more often than off road? I'm...
