Total Cost?

 

Found this when putting air into my tires... What you guys think? Still driveable? Ran my fingers across it and it aint no hairline scratch... discovered this after wheeling this past weekend.. buy new shocks asap? Thoughts! Thanks!

 

Including shipping - $50'ish, maybe less.

 

I would replace it just for the safety knowing it isnt going to fail.. I'm sure a company would sell you a single replacement shock..

 

Leaving to go to my friends house now to change my valve cover gaskets, 3 serpentine belts, and install my new CB There will be pics later this afternoon..

 

woke up in it... lol good nighttt

 

Girlfriend bought me some seat covers as an early Valentine's Day present
Told her which ones I wanted and here they are!



I also put a couple more decals on the rear window. Now I am rethinking the St. Michael decal. Came out to look a little more overbearing and lame than I thought. Might order up another in black and a smaller size.


Also mounted my knife to my seat, via velcro.

 

I installed my 3/4" wheel spacers to get the tires off of the frame. They barely hit the frame now, although they do hit the body mount, fender flare and windshield washer reservoir.

If anyone ever tells you that 285/75/16 tires fit easily on a 1st gen Tacoma, they are lying.

Shoulda stayed with the 265s.

 

depends on your rims backspacing...maybe you needed an 1" spacer

 

I assure you, it would still rub.

4.5"BS with a .75" spacer.

 

just did this and still have minor leak. be sure to put sealant on the sharp corners. and ya i didnt put enough i guess. piss me off i hate leaks.

 

That sucks, man.

So did you post a thread for "Will these tires rub/wheels/fit?"

 

When using these, do you need to glue the pre-wired LED's into the holders still?

 

sub

 

Mine rub the frame at full lock, but no where else.

 

Nah man, its all in the wheels Backspacing. You shoulda got like 1.25'' Spidertraxx or Allpro hub centric spacers with ET lugs. Much safer. And then you woulda been fine.
