2,500 Dollar Allowance

well getting my taxes back from the MAN in a couple of days and the wife was kind enough to give me 2500 for whatever i wanted to do with the truck. I have a DC long bed, I think Definitely want the ultimate lift kit from toytec and the tc uca's. Is there any way from the remaining 1k you think I can score some decent tires with that and does anybody have this setup and have a good tire size in mind that i wont have to trim anything or a lot in the wheel well. Any comment is appreciated and would love to hear what you got. Thanks

 

Sounds like you got the right setup figured out. Just a word of advice on the tires for saving a penny or two: Get 4 good tires, but for the spare just go to a used-tire place, you can get a decent spare for around $50 instead of getting a matching tire at $200.

Also, I've seen 265/75/16 with that lift and they look good but you can run 285/75/16s without issue too; you should probably go with the larger tire since your truck is so long... it would look better and shouldn't require any trimming. You also might want to consider getting some Spidertrax wheel spacers to give it a bit wider stance on the stock wheels. Look at Silverbacks tacoma build, he has some pics of his taco with 285/75/16 on stockTRD wheels with spacers. The spacers will run you about $200+ship for all 4.

Good luck!

OOPs, I see you got the sport with 17's... anyway, you'll get the idea.

 

yea just going to say i have 17's but yea. Are spidertrax ok for normal road use I thought i saw a post about them being for offroad use only. I will be doing some offroading but mostly work and back..

 

Dude 2500 is plenty! Get some MT with the 1000 left over just look around, how many inches does the ultimate lift kit give you? 2.5 or 3? you can fit 265\70-17 and if you want to go with the 285 then you might need a bit of trimming and being that you have the 09 is kinda iffy.. i wouldn't do it to mine (if i was you)

 

Yeah...You can get rims and tires with that if you look around man...Depending on your taste in rims.

Good luck shopping around!!

 

your wife is cool,my wife gave me $25 out of taxes

the say "offroading only" for insurance reasons.

 

and i think they say off road use only cause they aren't DOT approved...I forget what the whole process is...but it costs a bit more and puts some more liability on the company.

 

yeah mine didn't give me shit out of our taxes either

 

they would have to pay out the asssss with liability insurance,so its alot cheaper to say offroad only when you know most are using it for on road.

those bitches..lol

 

its good to be single i used all my taxes on my truck

 

lol... my wife took my taxes! haha...

last years are getting refiled though, 1400 in my pocket, er to the bills i mean!

 

SCREW YOU!!!!!!!! only kidding......i think

 

Lucky... I had to pay 2500 this year...

 

that's why my wife and i file taxes like we are single, i got 7,000 back this year and I have no bills. Do you want to guess where it went, it wasn't the wife.

 

7k all for the tacooo, wow got any pics. i wanna see now
