Spoonman’s Little Tacoma

You just need to massage the firewall back a little. You'll rub on the frame probably though at full lock with the 12.50

 

Theoretically I think I figured I would have even more space on the inside because the wheels will be offset -40 something mm, and that is why I am worried how much I will have to bang on the firewall

 

You shouldnt have to hammer on it that hard if you are really worried find a buddy with 33s and do a mock up.

 

You can definitely wait and see if you ever go to 35s/315s, but tubbing is really the only option for those sizes.

When I tubbed mine, I used a brand new 315 (34.5”) with a 3.5BS 16x8 wheel and no spacers. When I was almost done, I threw the 1” spacers on just to make sure that I wasn’t rubbing the outside of the rear of the fender at full lock/stuff. I also used a set of old OEM bumps that were cut down to half their height so that the tire would stuff further. I ended up cutting more that way, but that was the point. I’ve never come close to rubbing anything but the frame at full lock/stuff since then.

Sorry for the thread jack, Jaime. Those pictures are fucking sweet! Super jealous!

 

Yea I cant wait to make it out to moab. Looks like so much fun. What was your favorite trail out there?

 

Tubbing really isn’t too bad. I had a LOT of help from my god buddy Tanner. He had done his, and a few others. So he knew the deal. Driver side was tougher. Passenger side was not as bad. Each side takes a day. We didn’t rush and it came out really clean on mine. There’s pics in this thread

 

Thanks for the info. Hopefully I will get there in the future but probably not for a few months at least now. The rims that the 33x12.5s I looked at didn't clear the calipers

 

Me - I like his truck. I’m going to try and not fuck it all up.



Also me -

 

Some progress on the flatbelly stuff. Decided not to go completely flat. Driveline angles would have been difficult to deal with





But this is much better



Got a solid start on patching up the interior tonight too. I won’t show you that because it’s like a war zone in there.

But she looks cute

 

Not done, but got the belly pulled up a few inches.

 

I know this one: 26.15 pounds (weighed mine today.)

 

Just read through this entire thread and I have to say it is some serious goals. Keep doing bad-ass stuff man! Sub'd

 

Looking killer man and that belly is looking pretty damn flat

 

Thanks fellas.

Settled on this bracket for now. A bit thicker, has a dimple for some rigidity. Pretty solid.

 

I recently scooped what looks like the same sound deadening material as you. The 50 sq ft. of 50 mil on Amazon. I put it on my doors, but it didn't quiet things up as drastically as I thought it would.

Did you only do the floors panels? How much of a difference did it make?

 

It helped.






Trimmed some fenders a little to clean it up, and did a few little things to the truck. Need to test it out.

 

Jus sad it already

 

I know. But that front bumper is sick right

 

Oh shit, I didn’t notice you changed it.

Looks nice ya
