What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Hey so I just got some BFG KM2 33x12.50r15 and am concerned about how they will fit. My rims are 15x10 so they're plenty wide, but I worry about the tire rubbing at full turn and even more so concerned that they may rub the wheel well itself. I am about 3.75"-4" lifted in front and about 3" in the back. I'm guessing I'll need wheel spacers but do you think I'll still need to cut my wheel wells? Thanks

 

Just do the pinch weld mod and you should be fine depend on the back spacing will determine if you're gonna rub the frame.

 

Looks good man. Will look even better when you get spacers off

 

What backspace is wheel?

 

Didn't you sell your truck? What gives? Saw a big selling everything thread in the classifieds.

 

x2 ^^

 

I plastidipped it and liked it but I'm gonna pull the whole bumper and paint it like the grill and the spacers were the 2 inch all pro but I took them off

 

You are going to scrub and will scrub worse with spacers I have 15x8 with some offset and they still stick out a little but clear easy. You may have to do some trimming and the pinch weld mod though

 

Thanks it looks 10x better now without the spacers

 

Pics please

 

In the process yes. Technically I still have it, waiting for cash to actually be in my hand. But yes, everything off my truck


Just sharing my experience

 

Bolt on are identical to weld on. If you haven't welded on a frame before just get bolt on.

 

You buying another one or going with something different?

 

Got a quote to paint my 02 hood. $350 I might as well paint it myself or look for a lunar mist hood

 

I know that but I was just wondering why? Always sad when good 1st gen members sell their rigs.

 

I put bedliner on mine

 

I know, yours has been the inspiration to just do mine black. Just thinking it wont look as good on mine because of the lacking of beefyness haha

 

Most likely an FJ. I have another truck so I don't need 2 trucks

 

I'd like something bigger to be able to transport my daughter, wife and dog all at the same time. And I'm not too thrilled with having to put my daughter in the front passenger seat since a rear facing car seat doesn't fit in the back of an xtra cab. 1 it's not the safest place got get, and 2 the car seat literally blocks 80% of my view out the passenger window. Not super comforting either.

Could I get away with keeping it sure. I've also got a 5th gen T4R, but it would also be nice to be able to keep the miles off of our 5th gen T4R since we have to use it anytime my daughter, wife, and I need to go somewhere. Coupled with the fact I pick up/drop off my daughter at daycare pretty frequently since my wife travels a lot.
