Official 5-Lug Picture Thread

Ahhh ok, just going to need more photos lol. I did a 1uz swap and will eventually go 4wd with 1 tons. Oh yeah and probably a blower for the 1uz lol

haha sure i can send you a few pics..

had a look at your thread, great build. blower would be great.. these guys to awesome kits https://elatemfg.com/product/elt-3uz-fdfi1900-intercooled-supercharger-kit/ that will make some good power, especially on a 1uz with some beefier rods.

at the moment, i tried to keep it all OEM, with the engine cowl and grafted OEM airbox and factory ECU. but if i move on from that i will put a blower on it for sure.

 

Well did about 90% of a blue trail at Windrock park in TN. The other 10% we just strapped it through. It's amazing how much a locker and larger tires will do. Also finally found the Rev limiter with the 1uz lol.

Yeah the airbox is something I still haven't figured out because it's such a weird angle and I need the maf in there as well. I've been on elates site many time but will probably make my own manifold as I need to learn tig and think what would be a good project lol.

 

Mustang gt wheels?

 

Here is my beat up 5 lugger! Running strong at nearly 362k miles.

 

WOW, You got me beat, mine has 297,000 miles

 

But yours is waaay nicer lol.

 

thank you, it is a one owner truck, he recently had it painted, and he was pretty meticulous about replacing parts with OEM stuff from the dealer and changing fluids regularly. I am in the process of sorting the suspension/handling: rims (17x8 mustang rims going on), tires (will be 235 or 245/45-17), shocks (i put Monroe, but they seem "weak"?), maybe needs springs and/or rear sway-bar, etc. as it is way too bouncy on the highway.

 

Awesome man, glad to see a taco taken care of. Mine was a service truck for most of its life but my brother owned it and he abused the poor guy lol. I need to rebuild the front end and also need to work on the rear end for the bouncyness as well lol. I have a lot I want to do, but I paid $500 for it so hard to drop a lot on it.

 

Old Trudy had some updates over time since last posted up here.. here she is as of today!











Sometimes less really is more.. especially when counting lugs on old Tacoma's!!

 

Absolutely gorgeous. My favorite 5 lugger on TW!

 

I know I know I know, they’re Jeep wheels. But I ball on a budget and these were $50 and I have some tires I’m getting for $100. I just had to get away from the 14’s that’s currently on it.

 

Hey what size tires are those and do you have a lift?

 

Me?

 

What size rims and off of what? how much did you lower it and what lowering system did you use? i like your truck !!!

 

also, what are the seats out of?

 

Ain't no shame in Jeep wheels. Heck, I have Hyundai Sonata wheels on mine!

 

could you share with us how you lowered your truck? also, the rims look great.
