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

Spacer are $150 a set, new wheels are $100 on average per wheel. if you upgrade tires you should not cheap out and get spacers as they are a last resort.

 

And only on the driver side due to a wake sagging coil. If I had the spacer to correct the taco lean it would have been fine

 

I'm def doing the lift first, and I shouldn't need new tires until at least a year from now, so we'll see how the budget looks then. Where do you find wheels that average $100 per? All I've seen is $140 minimum.

And btw, 400-150= extra $250, not $150, but who's counting? I'll look into it when the time comes.

Thanks for your help, Elmo!

 

I got my MB wheels from discount for $75 each, the 2 i use as my spares. 16x8 4.5 BS 00mm Offset.

 

I picked my wheels up on a deal that 4wheelparts was running. They run them often. Procomp 7069 I *think* were specifically designed for our application with correct backspacing/offset. I got 'em for $100 per....

 

Thank you sir!

 

Not everyone has the same end game when building their own shit. I haven't been hung up by the lower mounts ever.

I didn't measure but probably gained 2-3 inches of droop over stock location 5100's. I also swapped in the Diamond axle at the same time.

Here is another truck that is similar I'm on 315's now so even less of an issue.

 

Also a lot of shock companies don't use Tacoma OEM mounts on larger than stock travel, that was part of the reason I ended up doing my relocation. To have king make 10" Shocks that I could use the OEM mounts with were like an extra 2-300$ per shock.

Craigslist specials if you know what to look for i have gotten all my sets of wheels for 200 total or less
Just picked up a set of 16x11 with some 31/10.50 thornbirds for 200 delievered to me

 

Just got my trail gear diff gaurd in the mail, thing looks like it will hold up decently.

 

Looks solid!

 

Got my opt7 led bar put on the bumper

 

Shit.

 

^^^ pshhhh that's all surface!

 

That leaky oil seal should stop the rust.

 

Soft topper guys!

Can I run my drop in bed liner if I am running a soft topper?? I'm thinking no, but hopefully it will work. My bed liner is the one that goes over the bed rails.

I'll be getting a topper this weekend

 

you'll have to cut the part on the bed rails off i believe.

Best to just ditch it and bed line the whole bed.

 

thought so.....damn, more $$$$$$...eventually I will get it line-x'ed or bedlined.

Thanks Monte!!

 

Clean and simple
