209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

I can give my buddy with the shop in visalia a call. I'm pretty sure we have ran TG spacers on manual hubs

 

I'm going out of town for work tonight don't get back until Monday

 

TG makes lug centric and hub centric spacers. You may have run lug centric.

But if you could call him and ask if Spidertrax will work with manual hubs, that would be awesome.

 

Oh well, we'll work it out sometime

 

Finished my DIY bedslide. Works well and my fridge can still fit under the cover. Along with my water heater and water tank. Gotta have hot showers!

 

Carrier bearing drop, can’t I just use washers and new bolts? Whatever thread size it is

 

Spidertrax hub centric definitely wont fit over 86-95 hubs, not sure about taco hubs.

 

You can, people do it.

I think I'd rather use the kit though.

 

Ordered from headstrong

 

So... Through some research I have found that it is possible to run Spidertrax with Tacoma manual hubs.


But you have to do this to clear the hub mounting nuts/washers.

 

Good idea. When I was messing with my setup, I used a air grinder and cut the centering hub off cause I didnt have time to wait for lug centric spacers to show up. Broaching the rear like that will allow them to be reused, whereas my cut ones can really only be used on early trucks now.

 

I'm considering doing it.

But the other reason I was looking in to All Pro or TG lug centric is I don't like how the front spacer lugs don't thread on very far. (The studs are shorter than the rear studs). Not real sure if that's even something to be concerned about.

 

If anyone was thinking about some Meso customs map lights, his blog says they'll be posted this morning.

 

Shut up...

 

Sorry lol

 

GO GO GO

 

I thought i had 2 new lug centric spacers in storage but I can find only one. But I do have 2 used ones BUT they need new studs. Tire shop overtightened them and I would not trust the studs even though I am sure they are fine.

 

I'm thinking about using these Spidertrax and routing out the back, like that picture. What do you think about opening up the spacer lug holes so I can use the All Pro extended thread lugs?

The part that doesn't fit is the extended thread portion.

 

To make sure I understand, you want to use allpro ET lug nuts to secure the spacer to your hub?
If so then they should fit with no mods. I dont have time to pull a wheel off and check a spidertrax but here is a old bora spacer and a et lug nut.

 

Obviously you will not have a closed cap tall lug nut, but a short body open nut just like the AP ones.
