1st Gen Double Cabs

Another 1 owner. Welcome to the club!!

 

I know it's a different brand vehicle but my truck looks so tiny right next to it

 

I feel ya. Im lifted and still lookin at stock mini vans like wtf?

 

Same here. At its bad that mini vans have bigger lifts than us, even though they have a lot of rake.

 

It's been at least a few months since I've cleaned my truck. I decided to pull off the fender flares and reinstall the bed rack as well. Finally got a pic of the truck with my door visors on too.

 

thought I'd post my truck up here. she looks ugly on stock wheels but they're just temporary:

 

Nice grille.

 

thanks bud! I'm ordering the DB customz grille and a set of SAE rigid duallys to go in it when I get my next paycheck

 

No problem! You gave me another mod idea, thanks

 

What size tires? I think the truck looks great as is!

 

thanks man! tires are staying but I'm just putting them on a new set of wheels. and they're 285/75R16's

 

I think it looks perfect. What lift do you have?

 

thanks bud! and my suspension is completely stock other than height adjustable Bilstein 510 shocks in the front ONLY. they're set at the highest setting to give me 2.5" of lift

 

any rub with the 285's on the stock wheels?
looks like your rear sits higher than mine stock... did you do the spring TSB?

 

Nope. I'm 110% stock other than the front shocks. the only time they rub is when the tires lightly rub the frame rail at full steering lock in either direction. it could be solved with a 1" hub spacer but I'm ordering new wheels next week, and my truck is nothing but a garage queen right now so I'm not worried about it. the reason it might look higher is because the 285's raise the truck around 1.5-2" on all 4 corners since they're quite a bit taller than the stock 265s. and plus, I removed my spare and mounted it in the bed which might give an illusion of more clearance behind the rear end. who knows haha

 

also I forgot to add in the fact that I don't run sway bars and in these pictures the truck is leaning down to the right a little bit making it look a little taller on the left side.

 

Just thought I would let you know the 285's only raise your truck 1". Your going from a 31" tire to a 33" tire but half of the difference is below the axle the other half is above the axle.
Nice looking truck!!

 

well I don't know the exact dimensions of a 265 and a 285 off the top of my head but I made a solid guess.. and thanks man means a lot

 

Good thing I'm going to 17" wheels and another inch on tires.
