PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

Are you gonna get larger tires too?

 

I’m already running 225/70R15s...

 

Not entirely sure; It’s an eBay screenshot...

 

Hey now, be nice...

Not entirely a pavement princess; I drive on some pretty shitty roads, and I end up driving in the mud at car shows that are held in fields!

 

And @Taco critter‘s rig is a proud mall crawler!

 

Though you tow a lot with yours; I think one of the reasons mine runs so good is because I’ve never actually towed with it (just the hitch-hauler)...

 

What’s your daily driver again?

 

Pennsylvania roads are hell on a car like that...

 

A lot of 5 lugs run the eBay spacer because they have the only 3" spacer (not in that particular kit). We off-road and abuse them with no issues. I think it's mainly because our shocks don't have the weak 3in extension on the bottom.

 

So you’re saying I should go for it?

 

Majority of this site is pavement princesses

 

Yeah I would. If you want alittle more the 3" is sold by itself and you could find the aal by itself as well. Either way it's a nice upgrade. I would also suggest the front bilstein 4600s made for 5 lugs. Your shocks are probably blown by now lol. If you do install an aal you will need a longer shock but any 6 lug shock meant for 0-1" of lift works.

I actually just sold my spacer and shocks last night because now I have this

 

Got the Toro back, and the mechanic got it running! The total cost for the Craftsman that I picked up last Friday was $200; After the $25 I got for the Toro, but including PA sales tax and the credit fee, it was $189. The cost of getting the Toro running including a carb rebuild $150; I will be getting $39 back.

So that’s $175 total for a 2-stage snowblower; Not bad!
