Are you using maestro idatalink with T01 harness? And which head unit?
 
Good eye! yup it definitely is Market Crossing! nice to see some local peeps around :hello:

for 265s, if i had my stock UCAs / didnt have my JBA UCAs castered to 4* i wouldve rubbed slightly on the mudguards.

for my current set-up / 285s, definitely needed the UCAs. just took off the mudguards and still rubbing slightly on full lock.

going to get ARC one to do a bmc for me soon coz this set-up will for sure rub on full flex, offroad.

Thanks for replying and confirming I need UCA's. I'm hoping to keep the mudguards and avoid a BMC. Although I've already been in touch with ARC1 in case I need one after the install. If you see a cavalry blue pro waving, it's me. I live pretty close to there.
 
after lifting the truck 1.5" all corners, I finally upgraded to 285/70/17s on GY Duratracs D load. getting a slight rub on full lock from the mudflaps. trimmed a bit on the front bumper and moved the fender liner forward.

gonna see if i can "massage" the mudflaps further with a heatgun. if it still rubs, just gonna have to take them off.

looks beefier in person, looks just right on photos compared to my 265/70 wildpeaks.

Looks good! I know that mall area also. I've got the 265 duratracs and just waiting to move up to 285's. I changed to rims with -12 offset and had the same problems with my mudflaps. Removing mudflaps is quick and easy.

thank you! nice to see more local members haha

i took off my mudflaps and fixed the rubbing on slight turns but will def need a bmc to fix the rub on full lock. -12 offset is perfect, i bet! let see some pics!
 
I installed my new wheels and tires on her. Very pleased with the look and the ride quality (K02’s). I have had this same parking spot since 1990 - the year this building opened.

Actually took 2 days because of the rain and heat, was supposed to be in Canada for vacation but we chickened out. Gave me time to do my install of my ICS Fab dash mount.
Worked out great, installed the dash cam too.

I guess looking out the front window is optional, huh? :lmao:

It does block your view a little bit. Am 6' tall so I can see over most of it. If you pop out of a manhole cover right in front of my right headlight and don't stand up all the way you may get flattened. Once your past the start of the front right wheel well am able to see you...unless you are crawling then no one would see you.

Don't really mind the slight loss of view. If you were a novice driver or had other impediments to your driving ability my setup may not be a good choice for you.

On the other hand, can't see how people can drive at night with tint on the side windows more than what comes from the factory. Had chrome vent visors on the my previous Tacoma, that took some getting used to, as it increased the blind spots the A-pillars gave you...to each his own I reckon.
 
Pioneer dmh wt8600nex installed. Does block the bottom 1/3 of both vents. So far everything seem to be working ok. brake by- pass didn't work, but found seller on ebay who sells by-pass wiring for the 2020 pioneer radios. Will update. Yes i know it sucks blocking the ac vents and I DO live in Houston,TX but my god look at that screen!!!!

Neat! I'll be interested to see if you have overheating problems when you run the heater.

Wow. That screen is huge. Hopefully you won’t have scratching issues like those being reported for the 4R 2020 MY.
Brand new 2020 screen scratched?
