IMPULSE RED TACOMA LIFTED

looks great

 

What a transformation! ​

 

Thanks! It took over a year and it literally happened unexpectedly. From a little thought to sitting like it is within 3 days haha

 

Impulse red is a great color. I miss mine often

 

Why is it that every IRP Taco I see the flares are faded? My passenger ones were terrible when I bought it. Also, can we get a front end shot of that thing? Looks sweet!

 

Every time I see these impulse red tacomas. It makes me miss mine. I wish I would have kept it.

 

It wasnt my preferred choice at first. I wanted silver. After owning IRP and seeing how kinda unique they are I love it.

 

I like the look of his, a mix of Black and Silver rims. I agree with previous poster, don't limit yourself to all Black or all Chrome, I think a mix would look really good!

 

I was originally against any chrome on IRP. After these wheels Ive changed my mind. Though Im still against too much chrome on red.

 

If I understand correctly you want to put 35x12.50x20 on you Tacoma? You will need more than Billy's. Probably 7" of lift.

 

I am for sure against toooooo much chrome, some accents look really nice though! I black out my vehicles (except I had to use FJ Trail Team Ed. wheels to stay OEM and have needed backspacing for tires. The rest is all black! I'd consider de-badging too!

 

I think the Toyota paint reacts different on the plastic vs. the metal portions on all Tacoma's. Before I had mine repainted with OEM paint it was like that on the top edges of the fender flares (where there is the most exposure to the sun) . Now about 2 years later it is barely starting to show again on the tip top of the rear fender flares. I just think on white and black Tacoma's with a little polish and shine you can hide it better vs other colors. But, yah it's there. Just my $0.02 worth

 

Haha. I've noticed the same thing. Luckily my new truck is white so not much fading to be done.

 

Looking at pictures of mine makes me miss it but it had too many issues and the wrong drivetrain. It was time to upgrade but it was a very bitter sweet transition

 

Sweeeet!

 

I had about 8" on my old truck with 35's and it rubbed a little offroad. And that was with stock wheels and essentially 2" spacers. I can only image 12" wide wheels and 4.5" backspacing how bad it would rub without a good bit of trimming

 

That's a nice looking truck. I like the level look.

 

Thanks man. Had it dialed in right at 28" hub to fender both front and rear.

 

My red taco with 315 70r 17" with Bilstein 5100's on front set at .850 (2nd setting) with 3" lift coils. On back I have 3" lift springs with 2" blocks! A 1" body lift is next! Cheers!
