All tacos are sexy, some more so than others!

 

3rd Gen members tears!

 

White Letters Out -

 

I agree, I forget the numbers, believe they have a better back spacing than stock...

 

Old School like my 1st Toyota!

 

I forget too....it's something like -4 I believe

wish someone can chime in and confirm though

 

Oh boi

 

They're all velcro backed patches. Just put em up and put a little pressure on them and you're good to go.

"Ok I just researched and found out the stock 17s are +30mm, so that means these FJ TRDs would "stick out" about 3/4" more if my figuring is correct. The entire contact patch is moved out almost an inch. Should work ok with my stock tires."



So about 3/4" further out...

 

a quick google consensus says 17 inch x 7.0 inch x 4 mm offset. giving about 4.15" of backspace. . .

 

Stock Sport TRD specs: TRD Sport Alloy Wheels: 17x7.5, +30 mm offset, 5.5" backspacing.

Narrower by 1/2", but still pushes the wheel out more than 3/4"

 

Does that get 285s off the UCA?

 

Got 265's til I replace them...

 

This is what I came up with when I did mine, I think the actual number is .78". And yes, these wheels are a great look. Even with the 3/4", the factory flares cover the contact patch.

 

Spent some time exploring, cutting wood, and having fun in Dixie National Forest. Attached are a few of the photos.

I started out near Glendale Utah. I took a trail near Duck Creek Utah off of Highway 14. Got to test out the 4x4 and dirty up the truck. It was more of an ATV trail, so I was tentative, but got to hit the bottom skid plate (I hope) a few times. Made me think I need a lift.

The one without the truck is a nice mule deer that was out and about. You have to look in the shadow to see it. Couldn't get a photo when it was in the light.

Finally, I loaded up some wood to bring back to the cabin. Now there are only 7 more loads to go.

 

Finally got around to getting an alignment today. I havnt driven the truck much since the lift and tires went on a couple weeks ago. I honestly didn't think it could ride better than it did, but I was wrong. Looks like they were able to move the front wheels away from the cab mount a bit too. Really glad I went with the UCAs. I'll post my spec sheet and see what you guys think as well.

It really doesn't lean as much as this photo makes it look like



Before and after specs:

 

Those alignment specs look weird... why did your caster move so much in your passenger side!? Shouldnt move more than a few tenths of a degree unless you got a shitty ball joint or new uca's... but they should be 2.5

 

Because the passenger side was off more than the driver after the lift install

 

Got her washed and waxed. Tomorrow the chrome disappears from the grill and bumper.
