Dan's 2001 DC Build

Im with you i hate to have to chop factory stuff up. Ive got 31 10x50's and Ill get a slight rub if the wheel is cut all the way.

 

No. i didnt do the diff drop. i thought about it but people told me it wasnt worth it so i went with what they said. I think i may have read it somewhere, and also when i was buying it from toytec, ben the guy who helped me out there said it wasnt needed.

 

Yeah, i dont need the biggest tires i just want a more aggressive look to them. if i got new rims and just the same tire (265) i think i would still be happy with it. I dont do a lot of off roading so alot of my decision is based of practicality because i drive from CT to NH all the time so i dont want my gas mileage to be piss poor.

 

your build is stoopid!

 

his build is awesome and you wish you had it!

 

nope it's dumb!

 

sounds awsome i know what you meen by loud though had a cherry bomb on my 82 wasnt quite at all, and i wrapped my wheels with dynapro all terrains and it only cost me 1062 for 35.12.50.16s which is really good in my opinion when im used to paying 1600 or more for my muddin tires

 

not to many assholes on here, but youre one of them.

 

Thanks man, i dont mind the loudness to much, its just when im driving for a long time on the highway. but yeah im really excited to get tires and rims but im not lookin forward to the price of it haha.

 

have you heard of the package deals, its sorta like clearance at walmart you can get wheels and tires in a pacage for the cost of only tires its pretty bad ass, i know dessertrat.com has pacage deals all the time mickey thompson does as well and i think bfg might to.

 

Love the build. Our trucks are the same but different, but essentially we both have the same mods. Check out treadwright.com for tires. That's what I'll probably look to for new tires and their reviews are very good. Also keep in mind that (and this depends on the tire) sometimes a larger tire will get you better mpg if it is used on the highway. In the city it will hurt you but if you drive enough highway you might be able to justify it. Also check out the hankook dynapro atm. That's another option that you might like.

 

yeah thats a really good idea, thanks. I had heard of them because my dad was looking at something like that for his car, but i hadnt thought of that for my truck for some reason, ill look into that. thanks man.

 

yeah better highway would be great. my driving is 90% highway and i still want bigger tires without killing my mpg. thanks for the info. nice lookin truck you got there also!

 

NICE! i got the same exact model cept mine's red. im bout to buy the billy 5100s and rear toytec aals. how do you like the billys? and when you buy your rims you wanna give me yours? haha look good!!!

 

x2

 

I really like the bilsteins. a lot of people complain they are to still but i like them. good choice on the AAL as well. from my experience i wouldn't bother with the shackles. haha i have considered selling them but if i came across the money i want to maybe have a summer and a winter tire.

 

k good im gettin my pay check tomorrow and gonna place the order. and haha ok i got you. truck looks good. keep up the mods!
