    Reno NV- Meet & Greet Planning Thread

    @x91crawlerx - Just got a response from Bullet Proof Fab and according to Toyota, the bolts need to be torqued to 38 pounds. So that's some good news.

    My first piece of recovery gear.

    I just got mine delivered. From what I get this is a simple bolt with the stock bolts but do I need them torqued to a specific spec? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using OB Talk mobile app

    Things to note when looking for new tires.

    My current daily driver is a stock 2014 2WD Toyota Tacoma with the same Dunlop AT20's (P245/75R16) that came with it. Our plan is to go camping more often, as well as explore all the public land that Reno has to offer.

    Things to note when looking for new tires.

    The video was great. Thanks for the recommendation. One question I have though. How do you determine if a tire will be too heavy for your vehicle as mentioned by @professorkx "In addition, Pay attention to the weight of the tire, as this is all unsprung weight, so you want a tire in your size...

    Things to note when looking for new tires.

    The family and I are just getting started which is why we are still running the stock tires (P245/75R16) on my everyday driver. I have a stock 2WD 2014 Tacoma. Tires were going to be my first purchase especially since we will be relocating soon. I do have the KO2's on my list as well as the GG...

    Things to note when looking for new tires.

    At the moment I am based in San Jose, Ca and still running the tries that came with the truck but I will be relocating to Reno, Nv in the coming months. I am looking to buy my first set of all-terrain tires but I'm not sure where to start. Which brand do you use/ recommend? How big of a tire...

    Thanks! Aside from already needing to replace my current tires. Are there any areas of the truck that we should focus on first (safety, recovery or upgrade wise)? We currently camp near the closest reservoir most of the time but our plan is to start taking trails deeper into the surrounding hills.

    That is nice to know. At the moment I do know that tires and safety gear will be our next purchases. The tires that came with the truck are reaching their end.
