My project 4 Banger

i meant back in as in a verb lol not the back glass

mine are 4" 3" steven is trading his 4" 3" for 6" 5" i believe or is it 6" 4"?

 

Gotcha. The fronts are 6" flare, 4" rise. Picking them up on Friday.

 

So do you still have the 4"? Is it an even trade

 

Nah, I told Tim I wanted to get the bigger ones before picking them up. I ended up having to pay the $50 difference, but I still got them at the Engage Black Friday price.

 

How much were they for the black Friday sale?

 

$275 for the 4" flare, $325 for the 6" flare.

 

Saturday the 14th I installed my rear racerunner v2. 0 icon MT Struts. We also cut the fender/bumper and smashed over the pinch weld to eliminate all rubbing. I also set my shocks at 2.125" of thread.

I also removed my sway bar and I am very happy.

 

Casey at SocalSuperTrucks sent me the photos they took of my truck today (before installing the MetealMiller Spare Tire Holder.

 

do those tires rub at full compression? Im thinking about getting 31s or 32s, I'm going to get glass eventually so I'm wandering if i should just go all out and get 33s. but my "30s" (they measure 28in) were rubbing at full compression

 

nope thats why i showed the bumper and fender picture. i cut the bumper and fender. no rubbing at all

 

Nice build! Wheels look fantastic

 

Very nice build. Your tacoma looks fantastic but I have a thing for BSP.

 

Awesome stance!

 

Thank you sir! Stupidhurts is to thank for that!

I know exactly what you mean.

Thank you my friend! Someone told me my truck looked liked a shark yesterday lol

 

Man that rear bumper and the missing center caps on the wheels makes the stance of that truck 10X better!

What are the wheel specs? 15X8? Offset?

 

15x8 3.75" BS -24 mm offset... I had to grind to make them fit (the same thing Total Chaos did on the Long Travel Truck). I have a quick link on the front page.

Icon Vehicle Dynamics contacted me about my truck today to say thanks! That made my day!

 

Sweet!

I had to grind my calipers down too. An angle grinder makes quick work of that. I couldn't imagine using a Dremel to do both sides!!

I'm defintiely steeping it up to 33's next time I get tires.

How does your truck drive? Is it sluggish and what to you average MPG?

 

it drives much better with the 33"s... not too sluggish but i have headers and an exhuast... i am about to regear though... i bought some 4.56's

I honestly couldnt tell you as i drive like a maniac but its not too dramatically low

 

Careful throwing that "shark" word around...it's also associated with the word "cute"...Kelson might get jelly.

 

BAHAHAHA Yes!!! My female boss told me that hahaha.. This is a beast not a cutie
