Ok I srpung for the new Tacoma, started the list of mods and crawling around underneith. I see very little clearance between the front suspension and the tires. I have 265 75 R16 and only about 1cm- 1.5cm of room is this normal?

Clearances are tight, even on the 2nd gen tacomas, which is why owners choose wheels with less backspacing when they move to larger tires (moves the wheel & tire out away from the suspension).

I assume you meant the clearance between the upper A frame and tire section width? I thought the new tacomas came with 265/70R16s. The 75s (aspect ratio) are about 1" taller, but same width. Check http://www.ttora.com/ for more on 3rd gen tacoma mods.

FlatlandTRD you are right about all you wrote, I am trying hard not to get too many mods on this before I decide if the truck is going to work for me, the stock tires just sucked in snow and slush so I go new toyos and feel much better.

Which toyos did ya get? You'll have to let me know how you like them, I've considered the MTs. I'll second the stockies sucking in snow.

I got the open countries, right now the Tacoma is the family travel rig, so mild tires. I need to work on bumpers, Sliders, lift and fuel capacity before it truely replaces the Cruiser. Can you replace a cruiser?
