What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nice. Added to my "to-do list" this weekend! thanks!

 

please don't say BAMF

 

Yeah, totally worth it! Super cheap and an easy task for anyone who wants to mod their truck!

 

Ha ha, wouldn't that cause a shit storm!! Bu negative, I am going a different route for now. Really clean look though and something that nobody has yet.

 

Oh shit !!!
Dude, you got thru the worst and you're walking again, so that's is cool! Keep it up.
Give it a while and you'll be itchin' for two wheels again
I'll stick to the trails and reduce the risk of an idiot running me over.

 

Strapping it to the dyno next week.. but finished product is really close!

 

Where did you get the grille!? Post where! That looks great!

 

@Member1Zillion
The snowflake actually comes on at 34 degrees.

 

@ashrr213
Thanks, that makes more sense now.

 

Truck came with the Toyota hood graphic pre-installed. I wasn't digging it so had it trimmed like the TRD Pro hood graphic. No more saber tooth fu manchu

Also had 35% tint installed. Loving this truck!






(Not my Slingshot)

 

What's the correct back spacing/offset? I'm running 17" and looking to upgrade wheels and unsure what my limitations are.

 

Oh, and also just scheduled my first 5k maintenance. Will notify dealer of previously mentioned areas to check, diff, ubolts, ujoints etc etc etc

 

I'm kinda thinking they will only fit pre '05 trucks with smaller brakes and rotors but not sure.

 

The backspacing is technically correct, the best kind of correct. But the design of these specific wheels doesn't clear the calipers up front.

 

Correct, they should fit first gens and older 4rnrs no problem

 

I am in the same boat. Looks like we need 4.5" to 5" back space as long as stick with 17" diameter. I want 18" and probably limiting to 8" or 8.5" wide with +18 offset. From what I understand our Sport wheels are 5.4" back spaced. Stock are 17" x 7.5" with +30 offset = 5.43 back spacing. Looks like trouble starts with 0 to +12 offsets and the 16" seem to run into more radial clearance issues around brakes. Then you have to limit your out spacing to not rub on turns. I feel safe with a 31" to 31.4" tire height. If you look at the Sport wheel you only have a little over 3" out spacing. Most of the stock wheel is tucked behind the brake rotor. See the following to get a better understanding.

 

Looking forward to seeing what you have up your sleeve!

 

Looks like it was done by a pro!

 

Are they difficult to get? It isn't on their website. I emailed Dan, but haven't heard back. It almost appears that this is a side project over and above their race cars.

 

I also need this grille in my life!
