What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

Cool. They look great. Good info about the Matrix studs and ball joint press - saving that for later.

 

New steering rack and shock replacement this weekend.

 

They sure are! They are 17x9.5 with -18mm offset so that brings it to a 4.5" backspace.

 

Hahah yeah. 3 of the wheels went smooth with just a brass hammer but I had just replaced the driver front wheel bearing and hub and they were stubborn to say the least. So I figured I'd give this a try. Worked like a charm. It would really only work on the front. The rear might work if you removed all the brake hardware. But I was able to do it without removing shoes or anything in the rear other than the drum itself.

 

Love the clean look of this. Very very nice. Voltage selection for each battery, oh so very nice.

You have now shown me what I want to do, just scared to use this spot. I spill coffee there so often

 

believe me, if i had other spots with enough backing i would have used it

 

Haha, thank you very much. I plan on upgrading wheels, but need to save up since I just got the lift done. I figure spacers are a cheap, temporary solution.

285/70/17. They are the stock wheels.

 

You could try ronsonol lighter fluid. Not sure what it’s gunna do to your paint...

 

That makes sense. When I had my stock rims and put on 265’s I think my tires were pretty frickin close to the UCA then.

 

Yeah I'll most likely get some wheel spacers for the time being until I save up for some new wheels.

 

Over the weekend, but went camping...

<insert small pic dump here>

 

SAME THING FOR MINE was a pain but looks so much better!

 

got some new wheels from a member here.

 

Well I might have found a deal. Ordered

although Amazon says it won't fit, Hawks site and Tirerack both confirm that as the correct part number for our trucks. $53 shipped for HPS 5.0 pads and Rotors. Too good to be true? We shall see.

What is the weight on those wheels?

 

Amazon says it fits my Tacoma, 2013 TRD OR DCSB from Amazon:
This product fits this position on your 2013 Toyota Tacoma:

• Front

Notes: SECTOR 27 ROTORS AND HPS 5.0 BRAKE PADS KIT, FRONT, w/HPS 5.0 PADS, 6 LUG

 

Nice, looks like 2 kits left if anyone wants a set of front brakes for cheap.

 

Never heard of that wheel company but saw your wheels and was intrigued. I like some of their designs they look good!

 

Just bought one, thanks for the info.

Edit. Looks like they are gone at that price.
