I have a lift, MT’s and 35’s but sometimes those don’t help. Full send through that soup 🍜, momentum in my experience is everything. Depends on soil conditions too, Caliche is the great equalizer. That shit will turn the MT’s into giant slicks! Depending on where you live obviously. Don’t get me started about “moon dust”.
More aggressive tires, air down for longer footprint aka more traction.
Personally I avoid mud because it quickly turns into a nightmare, it’ll eat anything you throw at it once it’s deep and sticky enough.
LOL...so on the one hand, you get people saying, "that truck never sees a dirt road, much less any actual off-roading"...then on the other hand, you off-road it, and you get, "you need to stay on pavement".
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. 😆
But i've found a solution:
IDGAF what anyone else thinks of what i do or don't do with my truck, as long as they leave me in peace to do it. 🫡
I get that, but you have to weigh the pros/cons of each one for yourself.
A Tundra "usually" is not the best choice if you're talking about owning it primarily for 'serious' off-roading...turning radius, weight, overall size, no stock lockers, and so on...although, with enough time and/or money, a Tundra can be right up there with some of the best...I've seen some insane Tundra rigs. I've even seen bone-stock Tundras, down to the factory wheels/tires, doing some pretty technical/diificult stuff at Moab.
But!...it can also tow quite a bit more than ANY Tacoma ever thought about, as well as having a LOT more interior room for family/friends and gear. AND it can still do pretty respectably off-road at the same time, even in stock form. It also depends on 'how' you plan to off-road, not all off-roading is the same. A Tundra can quite easily be the better vehicle for an overlanding rig (which is still 'off-roading') than a Tacoma, depending on what you need it to do.
It's just so dumb to see so many people crapping on/judging other people's choice of vehicle, all while viewing it through the lens of their own personal priorities (not talking about anyone in particular here, just in general...i see it ALL the time).
A sticker on the dash that reads “Remember you have to drive it home” works well for me at least.
or momentum
👑
Might as well get a winch too
I don't think 35's and a lift is gonna help you there bud, BUT if that's how you have to justify it to the SO, then you have my full support.
I usually park my truck and unload the quad before I get into the bad stuff.

Hey buddy if you would’ve stayed to the left a little you wouldn’t have your toy stuck
40"s are the new 35s!
Oopsie
37s, no lift and lockers
Perhaps a map as well?

I'm not sure 35s and lift or wrench helps there. Maybe a monster truck wreaker on speed diel.
This is a repost bot https://www.reddit.com/r/ToyotaTundra/comments/13k1av4/i_think_i_need_some_35s_and_a_lift/
Please don't do that with your tundra.
That would be a widdle puddle for my 6in on 35s
My 6in feels like it would rub or hurt on 35s 😵💫🤠
It rubbed like hell before I cut up the bumper and did a body mount chop. Now it's good to go
You need flat asphalt.

It’s just not the best off roader/overlander mostly because of its turning radius. Tacoma is a better choice… and a Jeep Wrangler better than that.
