Awesome build so far. Now if only I was decent at excel and could do that spreadsheet with links, and costs for my build that I'm starting!

I used Google Sheets, so if you have a GMAIL account its super easy to set up. I have been using to track what I want/need. My buddy just powder coated 4Runner Trail Wheels and put them on his Tacoma. He doesn't like them, so in a year or so I will probably get those from him. Pretty pumped about that. So might just stick with stock size tires for now and do some other stuff while I wait for those rims.

thanks man! what template for the sheets do you use
Click to expand...
I really just made my own template. I am not super savvy on Google Sheets/Excel but I had to use it for a pervious job. You can look up how to do formulas for adding up prices online. It's not too hard, basically just use =sum(c3+c4). That will add cells C3 and C4 together. For the links I literally just copied and pasted the links into a cell and if you double click the edge of the cell it auto adjust to the longest text.

Thanks! Next set is tires. I have decided on Falken Wildpeak AT3W's, just trying to decide on stock size or 255/80's. Hoping I can hold out till Black Friday and get a deal on 255's. I am also debating doing bronze plasti-dip on the SR5 rims while I wait for my buddy to sell me his bronze Trail wheels.

I don't have any personal experience with Wildpeaks other than physically moving them but I've heard nothing but good things. My only critique would be how heavy they can be but I suppose that's all major AT's.

If go stock size I will get the SL ones which I don't think are too heavy. I have heard good things about them in snow/ice which is important to since I live in CO and travel in the mountains. They are also 3 Peak and M+S rated so I don't have to run chains when the chain laws are in effect. What size I get will be based on how long I can push out getting tires for. The ones on there are pretty bad so I have to replace before the first real snow fall we get.

255/80 Falken WildPeak AT3W's have been installed. Here are some comparison pictures vs stock size. I am running stock suspension and I do rub a little at full lock and going over bumps.
