Matt's(STiLL WILL) white 1995.5 Xtracab Tacoma V6 4x4: CLEAN & MEAN ;)

that's good to know. i'm looking for wheels that have less BS than my current wheels

 

If you go with the 16x8 version of the Classic Locks, the 6x5.5 model is 4" backspacing.

Man if I had your LT setup, I would run the 15x8's I have with some nice 33x12.50 15 tires. That would look meaty and it would still be pretty light.

 

yeah dude, i'm considering dropping down to a 15" wheel just for the less BS and cheaper tires

 

Tell me about it!!!

Almost a $200 difference between my old 265/75/16 BFG AT's and these 31/11.50/15 BFG AT's.

 

Looks good! I definitely dig those wheels. Where did you buy them with black lock rings? Are the lock rings worth a shit? I think they'd only be good to protect the outer edge of the ring from rocks but if they are sheet metal thin, I won't bother.

 

Thanks man!

Any colored rings are optional. Bought those separately from Summit Racing. They are more look than function for sure. They do protect to a degree but not to the point or anywhere close to calling them fully functional.

The only reason I went with black is the chrome/silver rings that come standard with the wheels start to look like crap after a while bc they lose their luster if you don't keep them clean and polish them seasonally(like the spokes). One less thing to worry about when you get the colored powdercoated rings.

 

Sexy looking truck I miss my 95

 

What is the purpose of the bpv relocation bracket?

 

Thanks man!

On the 1st gen Tacomas, the brake proportioning valve(bpv) helps to compensate brake bias by sensing the load(if any) on the bed. The lower the bed(heavy load), the more the bpv will apply bias to the rear during braking.

NOW when you start throwing lifts at these 1st gen Tacomas, the BPV cannot do it's job effectively left in tact since it acts like the higher bed height = ZERO weight. When you install an aftermarket relocation bracket, you essentially realign the bpv to it's factory FUNCTIONING position(by mounting it higher) so it can sense load and apply brake bias accordingly as if the truck was never lifted.

 

Oh gotcha. Makes sense. Will you notice a difference with it lifted and no bpv bracket? Even if no weight is in the bed

 

If you run a stock BPV position on a lifted setup with NO load, you probably won't notice any difference---well, at least I didnt.

With a load in the bed, I definitely did notice a difference when the BPV was in it's factory position. Front brakes have to work harder as well.

 

Snapped 2 pictures today of my cousin's 2nd gen next to my 1st gen right before our bike ride just 'cause

 

Clean! Your ready for a skid!

 

Let me know when you can work me in to start on the DTF BWF("Bitches Will Flock") LED bumpaaa mang.

 

cleaned her up today, snapped a few quick pics...

 

How do you like the rack?

 

is it sad that your truck has less rust than my truck and is a decade older? haha

 

THE best built tray style rack out there. Comes at a premium($549) but worth every penny. I liked it so much I bought the 1.25" hitch version for my Forester.

Haha you haven't seen my frame up close, people think I've painted it lol. For a pizza I'll hook your truck up with my gangster ass underbody detail.

 

sounds good to me. But here's a picture of some of the underbody to give you a heads up hah

 

Holy shit dude do you wash your truck with a bucket of salt water? Haha. Might be a 2 pizza job for me.
