3rd Gen Maxtrac Spindles

damn no shit it is! lol I just need to make mine darker than what they are. This Texas heat sucks and the factory tint isn't doing it's job. Have you gotten pulled over or been told your tint is too dark?

Nice I want to have a graphic done but not sure of what yet. I also am looking around for some 20x12's..the 20x10 aren't wide enough to my liking haha.

 

I do graphics I just don't push it much here cuz CBoy and RRentop seem to have most of it covered. Cops stare at my truck all the time, no problems. If I get worried, I slide the sunroof cover open and roll the windows down. Once you let some light in it's not as bad. The key is to keep some sort of visible difference between the rears and the fronts. I do roll around windows down a lot though.

Far as 12 wides, YES do it. Although yours looks good with the current setup. It's a personal preference, and plenty will disagree with me - but I think with 6" or more, you can't skip leg day. I wish there was more selection in the 18x12 size, but I picked the best of the 4 there are to choose from imo.

 

@AustinNative yea I like getting them from RRentop. Good quality and quick shipping. As far as the tint goes I don't want 5% on the rear and back windows, maybe like 15 or 18% will do for me all around just need something darker than what's on now. But I am the same, when I am riding solo I always have my windows down but when I have my little one or lady with me then the windows are up.

Yea I personally love the wide stance. I love the look of the 10's wide but I follow people on IG that have 20x12 Fuel Rampage 2-piece in grey and I loooove them! I think a lot of it has to do with the offset my wheels have too. They're -12 offset so they don't stick out far enough for me like -24 or -44. I have 1.25 spacers in the rear to even out with the front but idk, still looking around to see if I can get some for a steal haha. I originally was going to go with the wheels you have now in 18x12 but saw these for a deal I couldn't pass.

 

You must be talkin about Comatose from Hawaii? I LOVE those wheels. All them Hawaii dudes got the right idea really man. 6+ lifts with 12+ wides. People can hate on it all they want, but I love it. I think it's how 3rd gens are supposed to look.

Having a new vehicle helps with tint too. Cops don't look at it the same way they look at a busted ass old ragged out Cutlass with dudes leaning all the way back in the seat and wire wheels poking out a foot.

 

@AustinNative yeeeea man I love his rig! Those wheels are what I want and will work to get them haha. Yea I get a lot of have for the 6" and 20's especially the wide stance. They always tell me "what's the point of lifting a 2wd?" and my response is always the same...." because f*ck you that's why" haha! But I def agree I think they look tons better with this look. Also, Alexiis.602 on IG has the Rampage in 20x14 on his 4runner and 4" kit. looks sweeeett

Yea that's true...but they'd probably look at me anyways with all the pulling over I've been getting lately haha. But I love your truck man it came out sweet. I'm going to blackout my headlight housings this weekend so that'll make it look even better than all that chrome that's on it.

 

are these rims gonna work after spindles? stupid ass fitment thing says they dont even fit 2017 tacomas.

You should be fine. I have 20x10, 5" backspacing, -12 offset, 6x139.7 bolt pattern. The spindles clear the wheel a good amount. They do push out the front wheels .75" so you will need wheel spacers to even out the rear wheels to the front. I have 1.25" spacers in the rear and it's pretty even.

 

Alright so got the 4" spindles installed today with the 5100s all the way around and a 2" block for the back but it definitely doesn't look right someone wanna help me out with why this leans so bad?The guys trying to tell me HS may have sent me a 6.5" spindle and i told him they don't even make em. But this lean is significant he said something like 5" and the shocks looked like they were still on the stock setting though. Also gonna need shims but he will let me know what degree tomorrow when he measures but thats normal. He also said that my lugs aren't deep enough so they aren't really grabbing the studs enough and i need some deeper ones. Anyone else have this problem, trying to find some deeper ones but not having much luck at the moment.

 

Are you using factory tacoma springs ? if yes, your spring seat on the 5100 might be flipped upside down (happened to someone in this thread), giving you more lift on the front, also the clip should be set at the lowest position to only give you 4" from the spindle. Is the rear lift block 2", do you have the box, part number, or did you check the measurement ? It almost looks like no lift in the rear. The lugs you are looking for are called et lugs (extended thread) common problem for tacoma.

here is an example from eBay, and what they look like.

Im having him send me pics here shortly i started a seperate thread since more people would look at a new thread. And it was leo who that happened to and ive been talking to him directly for a few weeks now about this set-up funny the same thing may have possibly happened to me. seems like alot of people have this problem when they get installed.

 

hope you get it all worked out.

 

Damn my lean wasn't that bad!! You're ring might be on the top notch to be having that bad of a lean. It needs to be set on the very bottom notch and make sure the spring seat is the correct way.

 

Spring seat is on upside down and its on bottom notch surprisingly looks like the 2" block isnt even there

 

X2. Have the spring seat flipped and all will be good.

 

Yupp exactly what it is. And if you want change out the 2" and get a 3" and that'll get rid of the lean look.

 

yeah i might just actually get a larger block for the meantime and get the dakar later down the road. for the long run i wanna put the least amount of stress on it as possible if possible lmao

 

i see a milkteacoma post in the future about blown apart suspension.

 

Ok so what would it take to run 16 with a bs of 5.25 with a 20mm offset or I can get the 4.50bs and a 01mm offset I'm getting the fuel vectors on a killer deal they also have so I don't want to this deal

 

The second would clear, better than the first according to maxtrac

 

Finally after much delay on my part... mondays the big day
