Yea Sock I know other people that have American Racing wheels for their Tacoma's and most of them had problems putting them on.

The shop did a great job on the camber setup and the 5100's rock! Last photo is my emblem mod with the V6 in red twist. Other stuff include TRD CAI, AR Mojave's and Gibson exhaust (sucks).

It looks like you are running the OEM lugs with those wheels. That is the wrong kind of lug for those wheels. I would not recommend driving it like that. They may have damaged your wheels with those if they are not the acorn style lugs. FYI but you better look into it.

Something just looks out of place to me. take the mud flaps off and take a few pictures again. I bet it will look 10000000000 x better :0

ozmon420 · 09-02-2009, 02:26 PM

nice

LanNinja · 09-02-2009, 03:32 PM

Do you mind taking a measurement of the front for both driver and passenger side? I want to eventually get 5100 shocks in my truck to replace my aging coilovers but wanted to make sure the setting I have them at now will match the 1.75" preset on the 5100 shocks. How did you take care of the lean from the driver side?

rightspy · 09-02-2009, 08:31 PM

the lug nuts and locks are from Wheeler's and I have 30K on them with no problems

GotLift37, I really thought about the front mud flaps last night. Anyone know if the amount of crap flung on the side of my truck after removal is that much greater?

LanNinja. are looking for ground to fender distance? Even before the install, I didn;t have any noticeable distance between driver and pass measurements. Maybe a 1/8-1/4 in tops. I probably have about .50-.75in front rake now.

LanNinja · 09-02-2009, 09:31 PM

Yes ground to fender please. I can compare your measurement to mine since we have the same size tires. Thanks!

ERIC · 09-02-2009, 09:34 PM

why do so many people dislike gibson exhaust? I have a gibson cat back and gibson shorty headers and it sounds and performs amazing!

rightspy · 09-03-2009, 09:09 AM

I like it but I am looking for a little more robust sound. The Gibson sound is too quiet. I'll probably swap the muffler out for a Flowmaster.

Where did you pick up the TRD badge on the tailgate?

rightspy · 09-05-2009, 09:46 AM

kws129: TRD emblem is from eBay

mjp: not a member of SCORE...had sponsorship with Cabo Wabo/Sammy Hagar F-150 Trophy truck in the Baja 1K several years back. I'll have to dig up a picture of that truck and post...great paint job. We only did it for the booze/girls. Money well spent!

T0LLPHR33 · 09-05-2009, 09:51 AM

looking pretty good bro...keep it up...

rightspy · 09-05-2009, 09:52 AM

BTW...anyone looking for the SCORE decal or any custom TRD decal...I gotta a guy that does awesome work with a quick turn. That decal is reflective and awesome quality. He'll do any color combination w/ reflective tapes. Lemme know and I'll post up his email address and website w/ some pics. I think that decal cost me $18 and it'll last years.
