Lock Off-Road Combat Wheels On My 2024

We're working on a new intercooler upgrade for the 4th gen Tacoma, and it's shaping up to be a solid improvement over the factory unit. The core features more charge air rows for better thermal efficiency, and we're using cast aluminum end tanks for improved strength and flow characteristics. Lower intake air temperatures during high-stress conditions are the main goal here. As most know, once IATs rise past a certain point, the ECU begins pulling timing and boost to protect the engine, which means power drops off. This setup is designed to delay that threshold and keep performance consistent for longer periods. The prototype is already in development. We're currently testing with 3D printed aluminum-magnesium end tanks to validate fitment and flow. Once we have it on the truck, we'll be posting dyno and temperature data so everyone can see the actual performance difference. If you're pushing your Tacoma hard or live somewhere hot, this will be worth watching.

Decided that machined wheels were going to be the move... Added these Lock Off-Road Combat wheels in a +1. There's a good amount of poke, but I like it! The first photo below shows how much they stick out. Second one does a bit as well. I'll get more photos later. The finish pops nicely against the Bronze Oxide and the gold bolts help to tie it all together. These are technically for the old hub diameter, so we had to add some hub centric adapters from Gorilla.
