"SLW N LOW" Build (2013 Reg Cab)

Looks good man! Very clean

 

Eh, nothing a little speed can't handle

 

Unfortunately, the time has come to put away the pretty 19's and mount the winter meats

I made the dumb mistake of purchasing used RAV 4 steelies on eBay and having them refinished and painted black. They fit fine, but for the money I spent, I could've just purchased some brand new 17" wheels. Oh well, lesson learned I guess.

The 17" snow tires are noticeably more comfortable than the 19" summer wheels, but they don't look as cool.

 

Of coarse they ride nicer, you have more sidewall

 

Don't worry by the time I Located My X Runner Rims And Spent The Money Powder Coating Them I Felt The Same way!!! Could a just bought brand new rims lmao. Oh well lesson learned

 

They ain't to bad though

 

they definitely don't look bad. think of it as upgraded, larger, stock rims

 

I like dem mudflaps up front me likey know where you got em

Truck still looks killa bet it rides 10x better than my 35 series tires

 

I want some subaru style fitted flaps for mine

 

There is a black X with those on made me fucking jelly I want them too
I was dragging the stocks and there are ugly at least mines are cuz they were bent and all kine hahah

 

Link me now!

 

No mo' lowz, 'cause it snowz

 

You have your front bumper cover proffessionaly painted?Looks great.

 

Thanks! Yes, the same company that notched my frame painted the bumpers. They did an awesome job and you can't see the bumpy texture of the OEM plastic. I also put an invisible bra on the front bumper because I knew this time of year was coming Paint costs a LOT of money, so I figure it's worth protecting the bumper so it doesn't look like it got shot by a pellet gun in a year.

 

what is this invisible bra you speak of?

 

It's a clear film, like window tint only a lot tougher, applied to the front bumper.

Quite a few places sell pre-cut "clear bras" online, like Invisible Mask. I went with a company that uses 3M VentureSheild as it seems to get the best reviews. The "bra" looked like this:



I'll have to warn you, applying it was a major pain-in-the-butt. I've done window tinting before as well as a few challenging vinyl decal applications, but the curves on the Tacoma bumper made applying this thing a real challenge. However, doing it myself saved me several hundred dollars

Now that it's on, you really have to be looking for it to see the edges of it. Hopefully this will keep my front bumper nice and chip free for years to come.

 

So are the 2013-2014 all six lug? I have a fr-s that is having problems and is likely going to be lemonlawed. I want a reg cab but I'm not sure if I want a 2wd or a 4x4. I like this truck a lot. The sport truck look really appeals to me but the idea of being able to off road sounds ridiculously fun.

 

Well, mine only has 5 lugs as the photos show.

2wd = 5 lug
4wd = 6 lug

 

Ok, I was curious about that. Truck looks great

 

I wanna play in the snow.... looks fun... id prolly just plow everything honestly
