I’m running wider tires on the Jeep for crawling but definitely going with pizza cutters for the truck. Plus you can fit taller tires more easily, and better gas mileage too; it’s a win-win.
Now that's worth its weight in gold.
If I had a spare $15k lying around for machines (and space in the garage) I'd never need to set foot in a tire shop again. I don't mind doing so in the meantime, but sitting in the lobby waiting for somebody else to eventually get around to it will never not...
I think by this you mean “Is there a dedicated spot here on Ranger6G for people to sell OE takeoffs”, and the answer is ‘not really’.
You could of course list them in the wheels & tires section of the marketplace forum:

Those 18s are Chrome Package wheels regardless of trim level; they're the same on both XLTs and Lariats. The Lariat 18s are the ones with the bent/kinked twin spokes:
The Black Appearance Package wheels do the same thing, both Lariat & XLT have the same ones.
Working with CODE-CWA but nothing official yet, it's been challenging to get things going when the whole industry is owned by P.E. chop shops who'll happily offshore the entire department.
I completely agree, but I try to direct my choices wherever I can.
Fortunately, Germany enshrines...
☝️🤓 incorrect, as of MY24+, the Tacoma is only built in Mexico. Good try though!
TMMTX (Tundra) is still scab labor regardless. Better here than there, but not UAW.
The way I see it, buying Made in China, Made in Vietnam, etc. is basically the same thing as hiring Scab Labor.
If I wanted a truck built in a foreign country, I could've bought a new Tacoma.
People really didn't like the shocks on the 5G ('19-'23) FX4 Rangers, but there seem to be limited complaints on the 6Gs; I have not yet gotten a chance to do so myself, but I ordered my truck specifically to tow my Jeep to events, so I'm counting on it working out well.
"FX4 Off-Road" is less of a gimmick than "TRD Off-Road" just in that Toyota uses "TRD Off-Road" as more of an appearance package that evokes the TRD Pro, the true off-road package, but they're about the same: rear locker, some screen/computer things, different shocks, etc.
The Sand is a great...
Yes, several of us bought sets (I'm just still waiting on my truck to get here). A guy in one of the Facebook groups swapped his already and they're a perfect fit.

255/85R17 is going to be quite tall – those would be full 34s.
But there are at least a couple instances of people fitting 255/80R17s (33x10) without suspension changes:

They might've been built like tanks from a structural standpoint, but they were built like sieves when it came to airtightness—that's why this didn't happen. Nowadays people want things sealed up, and without somewhere for the air coming in to escape, you get wind buffeting.
Cracking open the...
With respect, it's 20̸25, not 1999—if the wheel is in some regard not up to your standards, you can just return it or do a chargeback on your credit card.
That seller has over 36 thousand reviews on Ebay, and it appears the overwhelming majority of them are positive.
Almost nobody is going to...

I just googled the first 'indent' (N1WC1007F4A) listed on HubcapHaven. "ALYFQ086" appears to be their own Part Number, for what it's worth; the other places using it seem to be 'repurposing' HH's cataloguing...
I have worked at dealerships in Texas and will echo what @HighDesertRanger said:
If the customer didn't take delivery, they would simply unwind the deal, and it would be brand new.
The part that was odd was the "technically it is a used vehicle now"—that doesn't square, and seems to imply...
You can just buy pipe at a muffler shop, you don't need a $500 FoMoCo™ pipe to run the length of the bed.
Same goes for putting on an aftermarket loudener too; it's a $45k pickup, not a Porsche.
Going to go against the grain here and say I've had Wet Okole on my Jeep for years and can't stand how non-breathable they are. Sure, they're waterproof, but if it's really hot you'll be sitting in a puddle of your own sweat. That's the whole deal with the neoprene wetsuit material.
