Hey man nice truck what size and what are the deminsions of your wheels like back spacing and all that good stuff

 

Thanks. The wheels are 15x8 with 3.75 BS and -19mm offset.

 

No problem how much for the set of 4 if you don't mind me asking

 

Im actually looking to get rid of them and get some flat black pro comp 7069s. Buy mine haha . Nah but http://4wheelonline.com has GREAT prices right now on pro comp wheels and include free shipping. Check it out.

 

Awesome build, man. Hey, when you get a chance, post up what kind of wheel travel your getting up front!

 

Thanks!! And alright man, I'll try to do that one day after work this week!

 

Sub'd. Sick truck man. Love what you've done with it. Picked up a 97 last week myself. Can't wait to get dirty workin on it.

 

Thanks man! Gonna be a blast working on it!

 

Got my new Pro Comp 7069's installed!

Bumpers

Front and rear bumpers will also be added very soon. As for the rear, I currently have a custom plate bumper being made. For the front, I will be getting a Demello tube bumper from a fellow TW member in exchange for some Icon UCA's. Will post pics once the bumpers are installed!

 

Just a quick update.

Got a custom rear plate bumper made by RAT Products (isu2014). He did some awesome work! It is the EXACT bumper I have always wanted. A link to the rear bumper I purchased can be accessed here: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1s...n-rear-off-road-bumpers-sale.html#post7370509 It's the second bumper.

Anyways here's some pics of the bumper installed. I added my own license plate light. All I used was a small piece of angled iron from Lowes and an LED light bar with 3M tape on the back from Autozone. I wired it in to one of my original license plate lights and it works perfectly.




I also got around to replacing my front window trim. It looks so much better! I noticed my gas cap was getting old and cracking. So I replaced it too.






Last but not least , I received a Demello front tube bumper from SCRunner12 as part of a trade we worked out. I just need to get an aluminum skid for it and then it will be ready to mount up! As for now, here's what it looks like.

 

Hey I ordered a pro comp 1069 wheel as a trial but don't have a socket to get my tires and wheels off so did yours clear your calipers??

 

Yea they did.

 

Ok how much did they sticker your tires out?

 

Nice job man. Wanting to black my front end out too

 

It would look sick all black man!

 

Got a skid for the bumper and mounted it up! I love it! Here's a few pics.







I am currently waiting for my Trail Gear turn signal kit to come in so I can get rid of the zip tied turn signals.

Also added these cool shackles to my rear bumper

 

Bro you're in Australia?

 

Sick rig!!!


What did you pay for that front bumper?

 

I actually got it through a trade for some ICON UCAs I had. Worked out great!
