I started the UNPAVD Channel to document getting started off-roading and overlanding with my Toyota Tacoma. I bought my 2019 Toyota Tacoma SR5 not knowing what overlanding was, but discovered off-roading and overland camping shortly after and created this channel to document my experience modding my Tacoma's suspension, lights, tires so I could wheel on rough terrain to find camping spots. If you're anything like me and feel overwhelmed by the world of Tacoma mods and camping gear, then you've come to the right place.

Fit a 33 Inch Spare Tire Under Your Toyota Tacoma - Simple Truck Bed Tire Mount Mod
Просмотров 18 тыс.3 года назад
In this video I walk through a mod that allows you to mount a full size 33 inch spare tire underneath a Toyota Tacoma bed. The size of this 33" Cooper S/T Maxx tire is 255/85/16 but this mod could also work for a 285/75/16 or similar size. The reason I want to carry a full 33 inch tire is to prep for an irreparable trail flat like a huge sidewall puncture. Originally, I wasn't able to fit the f...
My Biggest iKamper Criticism - Improving the Skycamp Mini
Просмотров 12 тыс.3 года назад
In this video, I discuss the pros and cons of the iKamper Skycamp Mini while overlanding in the mountains. These are my first impressions and review of the Skycamp Mini during a 2 night trip in the Olympic Mountains. I'll start off by saying the iKamper is amazing, and I think it's a great 4 season tent with a compact, easy-to-setup form factor. However, there are some obvious improvements that...

Tacoma Pizza Cutter Upgrade - Installing 255/85/16 Tires on a Stock Tacoma
Просмотров 39 тыс.3 года назад
This is part 2 of my mini series on upgrading your stock Tacoma with 33s. If you're wondering if 33 inch tires will fit your stock 3rd gen Toyota Tacoma, this video goes through the upgrade process. As you can see here, you can fit 33s on stock wheels without a suspension lift or spacers. I replaced my stock size Ko2s with Cooper ST Maxx 255/85/16, also called pizza cutters, and compare the rid...

Why You Should Consider 255/85/16 If You Want 33 Inch Tires - Tacoma Pizza Cutter Upgrade
Просмотров 59 тыс.3 года назад
If you want to upgrade your offroad or overlanding Tacoma to 33 inch tires, this video talks about the advantages of upgrading to "pizza cutters" or skinny 33s. I talk about 285/75/16 (or wide 33s) vs. 255/85/16 and why the pizza cutters are more feasible. They're big, they fit stock 3rd gen Toyota Tacomas and you don't need a cab mount chop or lift for them to fit without rubbing. Sources I me...

thank you so much
It's pricey, hefty pricey... for that money, i go on a holiday....
Rambling man
This was a great video and very informative
The rear leaf springs in the 3rd generation Tacoma tend to get fatigued over time, so I’m installing an ADD A LEAF when I’m having my TRD lifted 1-1.5” as well as a leveler.
Cooper makes a great tire. I had Cooper Discoverer A/T tires on my last Ford Ranger XLT super cab 4WD. The truck was mainly used for work around our property. We too live in the PNW, but we’re in north central Washington state instead of the Leftist side.
Thanks for sharing, sir.
Just put the same tires as you on my 2017 Tacoma, looking to do the exact mod. What do you use for a jack/jacking solution? Awesome vid btw, great work on the channel!
I’m sure someone has mentioned it but the bp51’s are a 2.0 piston. They run an internal bypass which makes them ride nice which how they bleed oil around the piston but that’s why they are so large. If you want to go hard I reckon your better off with the larger piston in the shock
Are the fronts "coilovers"?
I just upgraded to 33.1” falken wildpeak m/t’s. 255/85 r16 on stock wheels and I love it. Zero issues with rubbing on stock suspension and I got pretty off camber on some forest service trails recently. My truck is getting your exact lift as I type, but they run just fine on stock Toyota suspension
There will be at4’s in this size but availability is slim
Could you use a jack to bend them back? Or are they too strong
In 2024 Falken Wildpeak A/T at4w Load Range C is available on back order from Tire Rack.
Wish they weren't so expensive
great video. How are you liking the pizza cutters a few years later?
Thanks for info. The off road has 1” lift and pro has 11/2” lift more than the sr5. Atleast with my 23 pro year it does.
Are you using wheel spacers? I heard 85’s on stock sr5 wheels rub on the uca’s.
Great video man covered all the points of concern well 👌👌
I have a 2 inch lift, second gen. Would these fit?
I run 265/85R16 on my 1980 GMC 25OO 4WD, and I can go anywhere those 33s and 35 can go. The narrow tire seems to grip better on wet and muddy off road inclines.
235/85/16 😊
Do you I need to change the uca?
Cooper Discover ST Maxx, best 255, Falken Wildpeak AT second best 255.
Nah Geolander G003 MT’s are the best 255’s in this size because they are literally the same weight as stock tires. The main problem with the few AT options in 255/16’s are that they are all absurdly heady, completely negating the most important benefit of skinny tires. Everyone is hesitant to go MT over an AT, but looking at the numbers the AT’s make no sense. The G003 are stock weight, more aggressive tread, & E rated, all while being the same weight as the stock 265/75/16 BFG AT tires that came on my FJ. The amount of power loss and decrease in reliability due to wear & tear on engine and suspension components makes the jump to the G003 MT worth it like 10 fold over imo. They also get rave reviews. Anyway, just my 2 cents after doing a ton of research on tires this size. & hey, it’s not super important to me, but the MT’s just look way more badass on any vehicle. These just happen to have none of the downsides of a normal MT.
Dude, appreciate putting all these together! I am also in west PNW, would you mind sharing few entry level overlanding route? Thanks.
I had the stock 16 inch steel rims on my Tacoma with 245/75/16 Firestone LE2’s which worked great for me but I was able to get some brand new “take offs” of a 2023 4 runner and got the 17” alloy wheels with 265/70/17 Bridgestone’s and my truck looks like I put a lift on it. So much more ground clearance and no rub whatsoever. Highly recommend for 2nd gen owners and I got them for $500 and discount put them on and gave me the correct lug nuts for them for $150. So new wheels, tires, and lugs balanced and mounted for $650 out the door!
I'm looking to get same setup on my taco. Does yours have a lift kit on it?
@@josecalderon233 no sir, mine is a stock, base model, regular cab 4x4.
@@josecalderon233 I found mine on Facebook market place just fyi. Depending on where you live is how much they’ll be. Phoenix is super cheap because so many people buy a Tacoma and immediately change the tires and wheels. I needed new tires and wanted new wheels too so it worked out great and looks way better!
Wonder what the height difference is over stock with the pizza cutters?
Nothing wrong with the pizza cutters.
I heard you it's recommended to do a rear gear when going 33s. Did you have to regear for 33 pizza cutters?
I wish there was a 275/75/16. Or a load range C 255/85/16 yoko MT. But there ain't 😢 I'm considering 255/85 wildpeaks next in the future. I have 265/75/16 load C AT3Ws and they've been great, offroad, never even had a puncture. Climbed, went through mud and water just at 35 psi. Epic. I go maybe 65 mph max with this 98 4runner. Steers great but I don't even need to hit 70. Used to go 120 in the Tacoma. No need for that crap anymore haha
Even though this video is now over 2 years old, this has been super helpful as I'm in the market of upgrading my suspension. I've been looking for something that doesn't break the bank but provides better overall ride quality. My taco is my daily, 85% on road, 15% off road.
I want a set of 35x10r16 lol or a 9.00-16LT
Great insight. I have Camper shell with prinsu racks on both cab and shell with couple of gun cases. I plan on getting RTT which i will be mounting whenever i go for camping so it will not be permanently on the camper. Given that i am carrying lots of extra load do you think this will be a good setup with 33's? I don't want to spend too much money because i do offroading less than 10% of the time. Thanks
Wonderful video and info. I got the impression from the way the tech wash showing you the spare bay issue was a nice guy. Yes, Tacoma world is a source of info, however I find the members to be typical 'bro's” that if they don't know the answer they post snarky BS. On that subject, I find the hole off-road community to be unfriendly and hard to deal with. Clearly not my tribe.
33 inch tire that doesn't rub the UCA
I'm running 235/80R17 and I like it
Do they rub aired down?
You didn’t cover the shock valving and that’s the biggest difference between vendors. Choosing the correct valving for your application is the first filter you must have, followed by price/performance. If you are rock crawling at 1 mph, you can do that with stock shocks honestly. The benefit of the larger bodies is more oil and better heat dissipation. But if you’re not overheating your shocks from extended washboard or woops then you don’t need that either. Remote reservoirs give more shock travel by relocating the air/oil separator. When do you need more travel, when you’re going 50 mph over rough terrain.
Cool !
Hey hey! Really enjoyed your videos man. I’d love to hear an update on how you’re doing with those Coopers. I want that size pretty badly and can’t seem to pull the trigger with the mixed reviews I’ve been hearing about how they wear. Went with your recommendation using shock surplus with a similar setup. I went with the Eibach pro truck 2r through their recommendation.
Can you make an update on the 255/85r16’s? Any rub issues with stock suspension and wheels off road? Also how’s the road noise, I’ll be using this as my daily driver on I5. I also live in the WA and considering this size
Is that with the stock suspension? No rubbing?
I'm running a 285/70/R17 Method 706 with a Nitto Trail Grappler on a 2023 Tacoma TRD Offroad and this 100% did not work for me. Great suggestions by everyone in the comments, but even with pulling the tire back while raising this sits less than 1/2" from the rear diff, touches the heat shield on the exhaust and hits the leaf spring hanger bracket. Maybe it's because I went with hybrid muds instead of an all terrain. /sigh was worth the try before investing in a swing out tire carrier. Thanks for the video!
Anyone knows what bed bars those are?
Is there a part 2?
thank you for this video! I run the same suspension. What ada leaf are you running? I am being told by 4WP to install airbags to support the weight. I feel they're misguiding me bc I am not seeing anyone run airbags on a setup for overlanding/camping/daily driver.
Remember 1in taller tire is only half inch taller differential height gain because it's measuring from the center of the tire
Awesome video! Very informative and helpful 👍
Where are you ?
Not wider but longer foot printer; skinnies better Offroad
You don’t need to re gear on 33s but a OTT tune would recommend
