    So I have put about 100 miles on the new tires and I can definitely tell a difference but it is not very dramatic. I came from a 275/60r20 (33x11x20) so I wasn’t running stocks. Im running xreas delete with 5100s set at 1.75 only rubbing I got is on uca at full lock.

    I have a Limited running the stock wheels and the same lift, xreas delete with 5100’s set at 1.75” front and 1” Cornfed spacers rear. I have the stock tires 245/60R20 and was going to go with 275/55/20 next on the 7” x 20” stock wheels. So no issues running the 275/60R20’s? Or are you running with 8” rims? The rims look stock in the photo.

    Yes I’m running stock 20’s . As long as you are not running any wheel spacers you should not rub. If you are, it should be minimum. I had to remove mud flap and get the heat gun out to remold a small part on the front fender liner. But after the remold I had about 3/4 inch clearance.

    Thanks. Saw a video on that heat gun process not too long ago, so that’s what I’ll do.

    Drove home from work after sunset. I forgot to turn on the headlights again; just had the DRL on. I’m so used to the auto-on/off headlights in my other car. Ugh.

    I don’t believe so. Only the limited and pro has it. Mine has auto dim (for radio screen and console) but I even had to add that sensor in myself.

    I know this isn't the best solution, but you can leave your headlights on all the time. They will shut off automatically. Of course that means you'll be driving with your headlights and taillights on during the day.

    My 2024 SR5 DOES NOT have auto off headlights. Surprised as heck to find that out!
    Even my old 2006 Tacoma TRD OffRoad did.
