    YOU HAVE TO...HAVE TO...Visit the Vegas BS Thread!!!!!! We have a bunch of locals that do some pretty cool stuff...Plus I hate being the only 5-lugger! Just google, "Vegas BS Thread TacomaWorld"!!! Also, I dig the wheels, but my black wheels look best with the chrome lugnuts just because I have a silver beadlock on my rim

    sweet, i wonder why they don't offer them when you purchase the rims.
    that would have been an easy up sell for them in my case because I would have ordered them immediately. Oh well back to the store, the funny thing is they put a bunch of crap on my order that I didn't want like tire insurance and they charged me to discharge my original tires when I took them with me.

    thanks for the heads up my man!

    Compression travel is wheel movement up and toward the fender. Your tire only cycles so much in factory form. By adding a spacer lift your shock is moved down which means if you hit a speedbump or dip or anything that would be larger than normal stuff on the road your shock is going to bottom out before the suspension. So lets say stock wheel travel is 7 inches. compression travel being 3.5 and droop being 3.5. you lift it 2.75 with a fatbobs or readylift spacer now your compression travel is .75 or 3/4 of an inch. So now you hit an uneven section of road thats an inch higher than the road your on that shock is gonna bottom out and have metal on metal contact inside the shock body transfering that force to the cab making it bounce and ride horrible. You dont want your shock to be your bumpstop. Theres a reason bumps are rubber and not metal. Hope you understand what i mean now. Ignore the thumbs down didnt mean to put that up there lol

    Does anyone know where i can find some 2WD Off-Road decals, and an old-school TOYOTA decal to put across the tailgate? ive been all over the internet and cant find anything.
    Edit: heres a picture for the sake of the thread. That red clay is slick and tacky. Didn't get stuck but i wouldnt mind a little more grip on the tires.
