For that New England -> Montana winter highway run, the Falken Wildpeak AT3W is honestly the safest all-terrain you can throw on a Tacoma without going full snow tire. They bite way better on packed snow/ice than KO3s and stay stable at highway speeds.
The only part related to stalling is the fuel pump. Original toyota part is around S$250 w/o labour and prices of other mandatory replacement parts like seals and orings.
I have Kumho Roadventure tires on my Tacoma, I like them.
Wildpeak AT4Ws, 255/85r16s, never go back. True 33s, no modifications needed to the truck at all. They are beasts in the snow and ice, I wouldn't even worry about having true snow tires with them honestly. They have crushed two Northern Michigan winters in a row now.
Put a set of 23 TRD OR take offs on my fathers 2011 prerunner and the best way to describe this set up is a mini budget level, the ride quality is way better than the worn oem pre runner shocks and the front end did gain close to an inch.
I put a set of those on my ‘09 in like 2018 or 2019...Didn’t really change the ride height but ride quality was noticeably better, but that’s probably mostly because of how sacked out my old shocks were.
I'd use the bosch for the Toyota for sure but not the Mercedes SL. Yeah, even I can't find the MB oil approval for the Bosch oils.
This was the most frustrating repair I've ever done. I've done plenty of timing belt/chain jobs before but this one sucked.
You can't tell if the timing marks are lined up, the belt doesn't have marks on it and no where on line tells you how many belt teeth there should be from one mark to the others to check your work. I buttoned it up and was off a tooth on the driver's side, I could have set the truck on fire. It worked fine after I did the job a second time.
non blown HG ( Toyota at time set too low of spec for bolts. So many blew early).
I admit they do "look" good because they are brand new, but they are the biggest pile of excrement this side of the equator! My headlights for that wagon, while the beams are near perfectly aimed (yes i did that) i about have a brain aneurysm Everytime I see them in the front of the wagon, specially if I get locked or fixated.
