My mantra is: "Life is to short to sit in repair shops" %)Life is too short to be running stock wheels

I honestly love my stock Limited rims. Oddly, they were the same ones I was tracking down for my 100 Series. I am on the fence on keeping them or moving to a set of Method 305 (17ā) bronze/black lip.Life is too short to be running stock wheels
this is defintely a side effect of re-gearing nobody talks about. I have noticed this as well with a past build.Anyone familiar with gear install? After removing my mud terrains and installing all terrains I noticed a humming noise coming from the diff/diffs between 30-50mph.
I had 5.29 nitro gears installed back in March and only noticed it sometimes during decelerating, but the tires were so loud I rarely heard anything. Now with the quiet all terrains it's driving me nuts.
I've put close to 10k miles on them and towed/off-road plenty and no issues at all, no vibration, no grinding noise, just humming coming from the diff/diffs. I followed the break-in cycle to a T and did the fluid change with no metal shavings at 500 miles. Maybe its time to go back to mud terrains to block out the noise.
I have it narrowed down to the front passenger wheel bearing. Noise goes away when I turn left every time. Easy fix.
Fair point
I will say I never have mine in the repair shop. I do all my own work and do enjoy it. From the sounds of it, itās a damn front wheel bearing and should be an easy fix. Parts show up tomorrow.
If I could do it all over I would have stuck with a +25 or +35 offset. I should have done research and found out that a 0 offset is just too aggressive and the bad wheel bearing is all on me.

Same: I do everything myself. The biggest accomplishments so far are the rebuild of engine and transmission. I lost oomph, though, after doing same sh!t over and over again (it was on a European car, lol). Better spend time on something you never did before, like building a boat, right?Fair point

Factory steelies stacked!Life is too short to be running stock wheels
I do love the look of stock steelies. I just wish they had a different off set. +60 is tucked in too much for larger tires. +40/+30 would be awesome and I'd run those over anything else.

Only wheel that makes me look back every even better with a little brake dust.
Those are +15 Factory.

That's nice. Unfortunately, the Tundras come in +60

This looks like a dumpster fire. What is that inferno with Barcelona? Ayup

You should attempt a 37x11.50r18 and see if they clear with those steelies. I love a tall skinny tire look.This looks like a dumpster fire. What is that inferno with Barcelona? Ayup

Planning on stacking some tall 11.50s on the new Trug. Iām more comfortable in my skin with the Toyotas of War look. High trim/utility. Iāve intentionally put factory steel wheels on every Toyota Iāve owned, and Iāve owned a bunch.
Hereās some 17 x 9 widened FJC factory Steelies.
I have such fond memories of building this truck with yuo! @js0k Canāt wait to do another knuckle boil in the fall!

That Barcelona pro is way more fun to drive with the supercharger and that assembly it only compensate for the parasitic loss with the 37s.

Put to the stockers back on the Tundra until I figure out what my next step is. It sure is nice having all of that power back and the tranny shifts better too. Might stay with stock wheels and a slightly bigger tire this time. Oddly enough the Sequoia doesnāt give a crap about the big tires, it shifts fine, drives great, no rub issues, and it looks good. The Tundra was pain to get them to work.
Over the course of 1 month of ownership, my Tundra has leaked 13 drops of oil on my driveway. Started doing some reading around about leaks at the bell housing. I found a post in the 200 series section about changing the PCV valve after having a very similar small oil leak. So, $16 for OEM vs $$$? for a RMS job, Iāll try it. I do not feel that the RMS is in my wheelhouse for DIY.
Probably a good choice either way, as this one was gunked up and not very springy. $16 well spent I guess.
Worth noting that I am aware that I used the FlexFuel PCV Valve, it was what the OP used in the post and apparently, what was on the truck anyway. These were identical with the green cap.
