Would love to see timestamps for long videos like this. If you put them in the video descriptions they show up in the playhead timeline as chapters, which makes it a lot easier to find the relevant information
Watching this from northern Quebec and as someone that comes from the Jeep/Bronco perspective, I agree with just about everything you discuss here. Subscribed and Ill just get in there and fit some 35x11.5r16 on my 24 Taco
I have almost the same setup ...my resi hose was rubbing as well and the fix was merely loosening the hose clamps and rotate a little until the hose moves back.🤙🏽
Running 315/70/17’s on my 1st Gen with a 4” lift and no regear and it’s fine for me. I will eventually regear but when I asked what was needed to run 35’s, everyone harped on regear.
uncharge the shocks, barly loosen the fittings, rotate the fittings down more vertical, tighten fitting, droop suspension, and recharge the shocks to 150 psi.
Got the same tires and truck. I need to get SPC's. When I took them to the alignment shop they couldn't go all positive on the driver side and rubs. It drives me nuts. This vídeo helped to understand how SPC works. Thanks
Great video. Sick looking truck! Minor correction for 20:07 - Caster is determined by the relationship between the UCAs and LCAs, not just how forward the wheel is. Moving the wheel forward with the LCAs increases positive caster but doing the same with those SPCs actually takes some positive caster away. This is not necessarily a bad thing as the wheel still moves forward and it brings caster back closer to factory specs
We actually went from a Toyo RT in a 285 70 r17 to a Mickey Thompson MTZ 35 12.5 r17 and only went up about 4 lbs per corner. I also know load rating makes up a huge difference as well.
Kinda like the old wheels better. It match more with your Tacoma's colour with the black and chrome combo. The new one with plain silver isn't a very nice looking. If you go with the old wheel colour combo it gonna look awesome, in my opinion, bro.
You can still move your lower control arms forward to the max if you want to. Adjust the front cams so the bolts are positioned towards the inside. I would move the tires all the way forward since you have a high clearance front bumper. It’ll help with rubbing at the rear of the tires.
I actually had them maxed out. Took it to get aligned, and they had to move it to get better camber. My UCA’s were maxed out at the camber setting in he direction I needed so they had to adjust the lowers again.
We all know weight per corner is important but do you think that an extra 10 pounds of tire is worse than an extra 10 pounds of wheel? Due to centrifugal force?
Great point, and you’re probably correct talking about centrifugal force. I definitely felt a difference accelerating, but in theory, that totally sounds right.
Sweet video! How much lift are you moving with on the front coilovers? What are the possibilities of the SPC UCA rubbing on the hose with KING SHOCKS for everyone else’s rig. It Makes me think twice before buying the SPC :(
What do u feel’s the main difference between bead grip wheels vs these new ones u put on?? R ur new wheels true headlock? Or is that just for aesthetic? Do they also have the bead grip on them?
Take the front shocks out, go full compression to bump stops and turn wheel lock to lock and tell me there’s no rubbing. That’s how it’s checked properly…
Big tires on an IFS, cv axle goes snappy snap. And time to regear, your transmission just told you on the highway O.o? And get ready to chop more of your taco for clearance running 35s.
Did I miss it or did you not re-gear? I have a 2022 Tacoma that I'm putting 5.29's on because I carry a 4Wheel camper which add's 1100 lbs to the rig. I'm running 265/75 16's.
They’re on national back order. I had my order in for over 3 months and they still had no eta at all. That was the only reason. My next tire will be the geo’s
Bigger tires don't mean shit when it rubs into your fender well while flexing. it doesn't give much of a lift. A bigger tire compliments better when you have a actual suspension lift with modified shackle hangers, gear ratio change, lighter durable rims, and longer springs/leafs. Real off roading consists of that type of setup for flexibility and definitely height clearances as it should be for.
Are you ever planning on the MC RCLT setup? Also My tires/wheels are 154 LBS apiece, 37" humvee mtrs with double beadlock and pvc insert. I felt the power loss from them so I can believe you felt the gain by cutting weight
35s looking great! Been following you since your jeep days. Do those new tires have a little bit better rock terrain capability? i noticed those notches on the very top of the sidewall.
Nice rig 😁😁 youll love the truck with the 35s in rocky situations lol i dont scrape as much on my skids after installing them a year ago Planning on going to 17 inch rims for 37s after my 35s are wasted haha
I am still rubbing on my upper arm at about 60% into a turn... ( bidirectional maneuvers). I have 17 Tacoma with Camburg billet arms with 2.5 King coilovers at around 1.75 or 1.90 inch lift. A little shy of 2 inches with exact same wheels, except in gold, with 315s BFG KO2s. I have cab relocation kit and all the fenders are trim or cut off. I have some spacers coming in the mail right now. I hate this rubbing thing on the upper arm....I should have done more search about this arms before I pulled the trigger. my camber is maxed out according my alignment guy, these spacers better save my ass.. PS my arm also rubs into my driver side hose leading to my shock reservoir ....super annoying.
Ugh so annoying. It's always something. Those billet arms must stick out a little farther than SPC's. I'm definitely within .25" from rubbing on my arm. Spacers should do the trick.
Why does the TrailBuilt website look like the previous Custom Offsets website? Looks like Custom Offsets did a bit of recent slight changes to try and make them look different, but prior to the slight changes, they were exact, except for the name at the top. Are these guys the same company just different names?
So many people say to go to the 17 inch rim for 35s.I love the beefy look with the 16s though. Other than tires being harder to find, is there any cons to this set up?
Only other con is you can’t do a big brake kit or upgrade your brakes much. I did drilled and slotted rotors and upgraded pads which helped. But they’re the same size as factory. Works for me
Those rims must be a lot lighter... Because generally speaking the bigger the tire the it heavier ways. Tires usually always outweigh the rims if you go with aluminum that is. Steel wheels would be a different story. I worked in a tire department for 5 years and never felt a bigger rubber tire that was lighter.
What skid plate do you have and how much coverage does it give? As in how far back. It looks dope on that truck and is probably WAY sturdier than my factory TRD OffRoad plate. Thanks in advance.
I have the Backwoods Adventure Mods prototype skid plate (in the video). Check out my most recent video for the final production skids. They will actually be released on our website by the end of this week. And yeah, they're way more beefy than the factory skids. These are .25" aluminum.
@@ArkansasOffroad aluminum is definitely gonna be a plus I believe. That much coverage would weigh a metric scheit ton if it was all steel. I was thinking about having someone put together a dom 95 "spider web" design for me to save on weight and still cover all the essentials.
I know that you have your reasons as to why you went with 16" wheels. I wished that I could had kept mine. However, you may run into the same issues I had when I went with 35"s. I've regard with 4.88's and slapped on some KM3's and totally smoked my front pads in less than 10K miles. So I had to upgrade to a big brake kit. Powerstop. They're pretty big. 17" wheels were the minimum size I could go with.
Ahh good point! I completely forgot to mention that I changed to drilled and slotted power stop front brakes. That would make sense though with stock brakes. But you’d also think with me shedding weight, braking longevity would be better. It definitely stops quicker
@@ArkansasOffroad You were able to shave off around 13lbs per corner. That should give you a noticeable difference on the road and performance wise. I sure appreciate the videos you make. I always tune in to your channel to give me ideas as to what I can do to my own rig. At this point, I am out of ideas. I don't know is there is anything more I can do to it. You name it, it's been done or it's something that doesn't meet my needs. Looking forward to your next video!
It's been my experience with the taco, is,that it doesn't do well at rock climbing and going through big puddles is the worst. I prefer v8 . The power is undeniable. I have a 2005 taco and it is real slow. Can't wait to get me a v8 in the summer and I will be able to send this truck to the junk yard 👍👍👍
Your SPC should be set at setting "G" that is the SPC ball joints forward. Both LCA cams should be set so you tires are moved all the way forward! Then your alignment shop needs to use the sliding adjustment to get you Camber correct and that would give you the Maximum clearance for the Cab mounts and the pinch welds. You have them set O.K. and it works. But it is Not the Optimum setting for the SPC to make full use of their adjustability!
I started there for the first alignment, but it was pulling super bad to one side. I had my lowers maxed, and it on G, but it wouldn’t go straight. And there wasn’t enough adjustment in my camber on my UCA’s still for some reason. I was still super positive camber, being maxed on my upper so they had to adjust the lower. Putting on a new lift soon, so I’ll go through the process again lol. Thanks!
Would love to see timestamps for long videos like this. If you put them in the video descriptions they show up in the playhead timeline as chapters, which makes it a lot easier to find the relevant information
Appreciate the feedback. I'll try to incorporate next time!
Glad that we could finally get you up and rolling in some badass new wheels & tires! The AO rig is sitting pretty now!
Oh yeah! She’s dialed more than ever now 🤘🏼
I've been running 315 75 16 for so many years and they are my absolute favorite size
Looks good…now we need to test them on the trail!
Oh yeah!
Awesome built, it came out gorgeous. Now the beast needs to go where it belongs and do not forget to film it 😃
💯
I got a 1 inch body lift and that helped with not worrying about smacking the pinch welds so much.

Man. Perfect timing on this video. Just got a set of Open Country AT3's in the same size. Same arms, similar setup. Stoked!!
I'm from CO but was in Arkansas and spotted your rig with the new shoes. Looks great!
Dude that’s awesome, what are the chances lol
Get an Orange virus tune and you’ll be sitting pretty with the regear and 35s
Besides mine your truck looks freaking sweet with 35" tires and 16 INCH RIMS .
uncharge the shocks, barly loosen the fittings, rotate the fittings down more vertical, tighten fitting, droop suspension, and recharge the shocks to 150 psi.
Love the new ‘beef cakes’! 😂
Also, no more ARK logos on the doors? Something seemed off haha.
😂 thanks
Yeah, I took em off just to clean it up a bit and for a change. Who knows, maybe I’ll put them on again sometime.
crazy how much weight you saved and the STT pros are considered pretty heavy compared to the competition.
Got the same tires and truck. I need to get SPC's. When I took them to the alignment shop they couldn't go all positive on the driver side and rubs. It drives me nuts. This vídeo helped to understand how SPC works. Thanks
Nice build brother! Thats a really clean set-up on the Tacoma.
Much appreciated!
Truck looks great with the 16 inch wheels!
Thanks! Agreed
Mounted and balanced?! To your door?! I gotta check these cats out. Nice shoes, BTW 😁
I would bet that an aggressive CMC will take care of the rubbing. Like you said, "its different for every rig", but a DIY (CMC) is cheap and easy..
Definitely doing that.
Bros doing his alignment too… right on man… make it happen.. like everything else that has to happen running 35’s..
Respect Brothers
Great video. Sick looking truck! Minor correction for 20:07 - Caster is determined by the relationship between the UCAs and LCAs, not just how forward the wheel is.

@@ArkansasOffroad My pleasure!
Nice work bruv! Your efforts are appreciated!
Really Appreciate Point 4 on this video.. Thanks for posting your review concerning this! Great content!
Glad you appreciated that part!
Very cool look! And thank you for the fitment details!
We actually went from a Toyo RT in a 285 70 r17 to a Mickey Thompson MTZ 35 12.5 r17 and only went up about 4 lbs per corner. I also know load rating makes up a huge difference as well.
Nice video! As an aside, you're garage organization pleases my OCD.
Lol thanks! It pleases mine as well 😂
Looks sick Grant! Good job brother!
Awesome looking rig...loving the methods.
Your build is so sick! Really love your channel!
Thanks!
Video saved!
Looks great buddy!
Damn 20k miles those tires held up great!
I go back and forth between wide and skinny. 315 75 r16s vs 35 10.5 r17s
Mannn same. Benefits for both for sure. The skinnies definitely are easier to fit and you get better mpg. Tough choice
Looking good!! I’m running same wheel in Gold 🤘🏻
No offense, but I’m so glad you changed the setup. These wheels look 8 times better than your older ones.
Appreciate it! I like them a lot
Kinda like the old wheels better. It match more with your Tacoma's colour with the black and chrome combo. The new one with plain silver isn't a very nice looking. If you go with the old wheel colour combo it gonna look awesome, in my opinion, bro.
Thanks for the feedback. It might not be everyone's favorite, but I'm loving these.
@@ArkansasOffroad fair enough.
It looks incredible. Well done
Thanks so much
Those tires and rims look good on mine
Those wheels are super dope ! 🔥👌
Appreciate it!
DUDE HELL YEAH! I love it!
Thanks dude!! Totally transformed it!
Love the new meats! Great video!
Thanks!
Great video brother!
Yo, thanks dude!!
You may want to put some seam seal on those pinch welds.
You can still move your lower control arms forward to the max if you want to. Adjust the front cams so the bolts are positioned towards the inside. I would move the tires all the way forward since you have a high clearance front bumper. It’ll help with rubbing at the rear of the tires.
I actually had them maxed out. Took it to get aligned, and they had to move it to get better camber. My UCA’s were maxed out at the camber setting in he direction I needed so they had to adjust the lowers again.
But yeah, I still might mess with them more.
@@ArkansasOffroad it should move the wheels another 1/2” foward.
Yeah I thought your suppose to max out the lower cam so that the tire goes to the front of the truck, and only adjust the spc uca to get all aligned?
@@grantorresmo7609 same here. That’s how mine is.
Looks awesome man 🤙
We all know weight per corner is important but do you think that an extra 10 pounds of tire is worse than an extra 10 pounds of wheel? Due to centrifugal force?
Great point, and you’re probably correct talking about centrifugal force. I definitely felt a difference accelerating, but in theory, that totally sounds right.

thanks that info helps.

I miss my stt pros!
Sweet video! How much lift are you moving with on the front coilovers? What are the possibilities of the SPC UCA rubbing on the hose with KING SHOCKS for everyone else’s rig. It Makes me think twice before buying the SPC :(
Can't run bigger brake setup with 16"rims though. Only drawback.
I’m fine with it. I have upgraded drilled and slotted rotors. They’re doing well for me
71 on our 4R comes out right about 75 in actual speed so your not far off on the guess.
Like the rear bumper also which one is it
What do u feel’s the main difference between bead grip wheels vs these new ones u put on?? R ur new wheels true headlock? Or is that just for aesthetic? Do they also have the bead grip on them?
friend, insane . have a good day,
Take the front shocks out, go full compression to bump stops and turn wheel lock to lock and tell me there’s no rubbing.
That’s how it’s checked properly…
Nice video and who knew that much weight savings. Also what front bumper is that I like it.
Big tires on an IFS, cv axle goes snappy snap. And time to regear, your transmission just told you on the highway O.o? And get ready to chop more of your taco for clearance running 35s.
Running 4.88’s now. The truck already fixed its shift points. Feels much better than the first drive now
Rock sliders look great. What brand are those?
Those were custom made by a buddy
What’s the load and ply difference, if any of the tire as that can also make a weight difference.
Ned flanders is jealous of your stache
👨🏻
What a great build. Thanks for the detailed walk-through. Is that a short bed on your truck?
Thanks dude. Yep, it’s the standard bed.
Is there much upkeep to the machines finished wheels? I’m torn between these and the method hole wheels
Stt pro is the best mt
Good job thanks
So. I have no idea what I’m doing. Sorry if I sound clueless. Are those 16x8 wheels???
They are
Did I miss it or did you not re-gear? I have a 2022 Tacoma that I'm putting 5.29's on because I carry a 4Wheel camper which add's 1100 lbs to the rig. I'm running 265/75 16's.
I regeared to 4.88s
hey send me the link for those covers that go around the suspension, maybe its called splash gaurds?
What wheels are the old one with 285/75/17?
You never explained why you didn’t get the Yoko Geolanders? I run those in 295/70/17 and they’re unbelievable in all conditions.
They’re on national back order. I had my order in for over 3 months and they still had no eta at all. That was the only reason. My next tire will be the geo’s

Nah I don’t ever wanna do that honestly. Not on this rig any way. I like this exactly how it is.
Wow those are heavy! Definitely felt the difference
I have a similar setup and have SST coming in this week.
Question: what tool did you use to cut the liner?
Oscillating tool
35s looking great! Been following you since your jeep days. Do those new tires have a little bit better rock terrain capability? i noticed those notches on the very top of the sidewall.

Any issues with needle bearing? Just got some 35s and can’t decide if i should to 3 or 2 inch in order to help the CV
I have the ECGS needle bearing replacement
Anybody know a good shop in SoCal that knows how to mess with the caster. I got spc uppers but don’t want to mess with this stuff myself
Any mpg difference?
Which method wheels are those?

The old school more sidewall/less wheel look is where it's at....not to mention more protection for wheel beads.
Looks sick! What rear leafs are you running?!
Thanks! They’re Dobinson 112’s
What front bumper is that?
Those rims must be a lot lighter... Because generally speaking the bigger the tire the it heavier ways. Tires usually always outweigh the rims if you go with aluminum that is. Steel wheels would be a different story. I worked in a tire department for 5 years and never felt a bigger rubber tire that was lighter.

Sorry not in the loop…. But are you regeared?
Yes. 4.88
Why dont more people run 16" rims on their tacomas. Is there fitment issues?
Man that's what I'm saying. 16's are the way to go. No fitment issues whatsoever. Only issue is tire sizes are slightly less common.
sleezy salesman Moustache
Nice rig….ur skid who’s the manufacturer…and that small skid between ur front bumper and engine skid where did u get it…
Thanks! It’s a prototype skid from Backwoods Adventure Mods. We should be drop it in a few weeks or so. It integrates to our bumper
@@ArkansasOffroad ok thanks
I know that you have your reasons as to why you went with 16" wheels. I wished that I could had kept mine. However, you may run into the same issues I had when I went with 35"s.

Ahh good point! I completely forgot to mention that I changed to drilled and slotted power stop front brakes.
