What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

-10 or -12 offset is less than 1/2”. That 1/2” is not going to make a difference. Now running a -38 or something like that on a Tacoma will make a difference. But Kai is correct that the more (less) offset you have and the farther out your wheels sick will increase the scrub radius, likely cause more interference with body mounts, plastic, etc and put more wear on components. IMO -10/-12 is about the same as a 0

 

Is he still making them?

 

I know that. I like tires stick out a bit further than the flare. Which is why I don't need the spacers for that reason.

 

I did not know that...rookie here! lol

My truck has Bushwacker Fendies and I'd like a little bit of Pokey with new wheels too!

Running OEM setup until I reach 60K miles...or thereabouts.

 

Decided to remove my Air Dam…was hesitant because I do a lot of highway driving. But took it 30 minutes down the highway and saw no difference in mpg’s. Love the look though.

 

Where are you getting UP for less than $30? My WM has it for $57.95

 

Puppy is still making harnesses. Dm him!
Dave is not, and because of that the fbc website is no longer taking orders

 

Actually…. I did see a good use for those on a jeep. The guy rigged 2 on each side of his steps to blink with his turn signals,(between the rocker and the step).. thought that was pretty slick.

 

If you want to save some $ install the rear shocks. Don’t have to do much to install them.

 

Are you hoping to add a 2" lift with the shocks, or do you already have a 2" lift and just replacing the shocks??

Springs hold the vehicle up and the shocks hold the tire down, putting it loosely, meaning just adding shocks will not give you a lift, that is the job of the springs.. Yes pressurized shocks will indeed add a little height, but if you add a 2" longer shock to an otherwise stock suspension then you take a risk of bottoming out the shocks before the bump stop and damaging them beyond repair...

Another words, the shocks and springs need to match...
Also remember, the parts guy is just a salesman and normally not very technical, whereas the mechanic does this and knows what is required to do the job...

 

These are 5100s with less clip settings in the front, and some stickers. Check the price of 5100s likely cheaper unless youre also going for the look.

 

I assume? I was late to post this as I actually did it back in November but haven’t been on the forum much.

 

Haha, this is after hours at the school I work at. The dumpster is emptied on weekdays so I was good to go.

 

I love the red grill emblem, does it interfere with the TSS??

And do you have a link or remember where you got it??

BTW, Bad Ass looking truck!!!...

 

Hey its all good man, Just goofing with you. It is a nice looking truck. Cheers.

 

Thanks for the feedback.

No, I do not have a 2" lift. I was researching the Bilstein 5100 Leveling Kit and it uses the OEM spring.

Figured this kit from dealership does the same.

If I need to get matching springs, I'll order them through the dealership.

Bottom line, I'll be doing this purchase through the dealership after getting all the particulars and confirming 2" factory setting on the TRD Shocks.

Dealership will be doing the install.

If there are any issues, I'll take it back to the dealership for follow-up maintenance.

 

2017 doesn't have TSS...2018 and up

 

I'd recommend 2020+ oem leds or these...

I went from the factory 25mm offset to a 4mm offset, essentially moving the wheels out 0.90 of an inch and haven't experienced any issues on tight (steering wheel lock) turns thus far. It's not a big difference but the look is great bringing the wheels/tire out even with the fender.

 

Not bad. Mine is like half inch out of the flare line.

When I get the AT tires, they probably bit bigger than the ones I have now which they will look better when I get them on. I plan to have them on within a month or two. I will post pics with new tires on my thread soon.
