Good question, I'll cover it in the review. It's pretty quiet as far as roof racks go in my opinion, but far from silent and definitely makes some noise especially in crosswinds.

Ran across this one at the local dealership in Colorado Springs. The dealership indicated that the lift was from Westcott Designs. I will say a bit a lift and tires sure changes the appearance in a good way. View attachment 3726728View attachment 3726729View attachment 3726730View attachment 3726731View attachment 3726732

That is waaaay to much poke on this wheel/tire combo. Can't imagine how there isn't going to be serious damage, if you actually go off-roading on these and flex them inside the wells. Also rock chips galore in the paint. Looks like one of those "appearance packages" to go straight from the dealer to the mall.

There have been some pretty cringeworthy wheel/tire/lift combos on the prado twins. People have no taste. lol

Whenever I hear ill-fitting tires described as "poke" I always picture the person saying it as some flat-billed yo-boy from the west coast. It's so cringy.

I came across a post elsewhere where the poster has excessive "poke" with his ill-fitting wheel/tire combo and now he's looking to add mud guards and fender flares to his GX to stop all the dirt and mud getting slung down the side. Ironically the tires are the same height as stock. What a colossal waste.

Hahaha...hey, you know that is how technical/industry terms are born.

But it's the the "thing" to do now on a vehicle

Truly terrible, will never understand the point.

I have 18 inch wheels and been looking at all possible sizes trying to add some diameter without the width and the options are really limited for 18". It seems 17" wheels open up so many more options. Is this true or am I missing something? And why? Just due to 17 being more off-road typical and therefore the need for more size variability?

 

[bj70bc]

17's are more better

 

[Cablebandit]

You'll surely get more options as 18's become the new 17's, that replaced the more better 16's, that replaced the more more better better 15's, 14, 13's.....

Rinse and repeat.

Old Ranger Station road

 

[Dixon Santana]

Call it 98% complete. Almost 5k miles and the only reoccurring complaint is the fuel tank size. Hoping there is a remedy for this in the future.

 

[JakeBP]

I’ve put just over 600 miles on it cruising around southern AZ this week. Hauling 3 other adults and averaging 21 MPG. Still, as mentioned above, an extended tank would be great.

Got it home and had to get a photo next to her older cousin. Wheels and tires ordered, hopefully here before it goes in for PPF at the end of the week.

Hi Guys, Here's my Overtrail !

 

[kerner]

Upgraded the wheels and tires - 255/80r17 on Nomad Convoy wheels with a +25 offset. Not a huge fan of a large poke, but these aren't too bad. Love the Nomad wheels though. Wish there were more options with a higher offset.
