What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

I currently run 285/70/17's on stock TRD sport rims. I had to install the sapcers in order to clear the tire from the UCA. I had minimal rubbing in the front of the front fender well. I had to do some minior trimming in that area but nothing significant. It only rubbed at full right lock in reverse. Is anyone running/knows if the spacer is required in order to clear the UCA if my new rims have 4.75 in backspacing? I amsure there are a bunch of folks here running this setup and just wondering if I am going to be really wide with my spacers or if I can ditch them and go back to normal.

Thanks for the info guys.

Is this a new question or just impatient?

 

Why read the book when you can watch the movie! That's what my wife always says!

 

ha yah. I thought I was doing good when I got sport grill.

I think whatever I do I need to get my plate mounted.

...

Heh, yah I figured out what's bothering me I cut too much of the lower grille section out so it doesn't have the border.

I found a replacement lower grille for 40 bucks, I'll give that a whirl to clean up the appearance a little bit.

Can anyone explain to me why fairleads can go from 20 bucks to 100 bucks (factor 55 anyone?) Maybe something I'm not taking into consideration, this is my first winch that i've owned after all.

 

Put a 2nd sticky deal on my window, the red brake light is killing me

 

Hit seventy nine hundred tonight.

 

What's up Jim!How you liking your suspension set up(6112,Fox 2.0)!?Congrats also on hopefully another positive mile added to your Tacoma(7900)!

 

Thank You Ron lol! Loving the set up and I'm very Happy with the ride quality. It's like Butter. Ended up with a 1 1/2 lift in the front on the first setting.

 

new wheels and tires

 

Great to hear and thanks for the info!My bank account is still low and i haven't decided quite yet on what suspension upgrade i want to go with yet!Bank account and being undecided is balancing out for me quite well right now!LOL!

 

Looks Great !

 

Lol, I here ya! There's so many options to choose from and this is what I ended up with for now. It's just a mild lift with great results. Keep saving up and keep an open mind and the right set up will come. Cheers!

 

You can also check there website. They have a forum on there.

 

thanks man I am super happy with the set up....

 

Nothing crazy, but I did a mesh grill install along with color matching the chrome surround.

 

Replaced the radiator bushings since they are known to degrade quickly and add front end slop, being a 14' I couldn't believe how far gone they were. Replaced with Energy bushings
