5 lugger bs thread

LOL, I still want to know who you got that beefed up clutch from. Was it LCE?

 

and phil as much as i cant stand your gay ass most of the time i will give you thumbs up on the wheel/truck color scheme.

 

i look when i get home its in a box on my passanger seat... been there for a year

 

werd, working on turbo, gonna need to line up all sorts of parts.

 

i was on that path about 2 years ago... hardest part was getting a mani built ...idk whats out there now. im selling the truck now ... on to better things.

 

How much you want for that clutch? Apparently there is a guy back in my home state with a log mani, linked me to treadstone who offers a log cast, log tube, and full tube build it yourself kit. Still waiting to here if it works with the 2tr head.

 

there was a guy on CT that was going to fab me one ... never got that far . think he wanted like 600

100 plus shippin?

 

Werd, you got paypal? It's a grippier puck with a stiffer pressure plate right? That sounds about right on the custom header. Just heard back from treadstone that this will work on the 2tr head, I'll fab it myself so not too bad for 350ish shipped.

Werd

 

These should fit, shouldn't they?

Cragar Soft 8 Silver. 15x8. 5x4.5 BC. 4.5BS. -13mm offset.

 

A small amount I can deal with. Ya got the exact same ones I linked to eh? Pic of em' on the truck at all?

 

To be correct, it is the caliper bracket, not the caliper itself.

How she riding with the added weight of the hitch? Any noticable differences? And when you putting final down payment on mid travel? Good seeing you on Sat btw, too bad you're an anti social wench.

It is a finite amount, dremel, grinder, table grinder will get the job done. Real simple, pull wheel, pull bracket, trim front edge (edge towards wheel, parallel with rotor), spray with some primer to hinder rusting, reinstall. Done and done.

 

Jegs is blah. Go Summit.

Ordered the C8 Silvers last night from Summit. (2), Ordered late, late evening. Wasn't expecting them until Thursday. Had them shipped to my work. Boss comes to me at like 11:30 this morning, "you got 2 big boxes". Holy shit that was fast.

As stated, they are way super close to fitting and I will grind when time comes. With all lugs finger tight you could tell it was hitting but wasn't getting seized up.

Their a little to "silver" honestly, match the truck really. Think I'm going to hit them with the Gun-Metal plasti-dip I have, Silver will act as a nice primer.

 

Thanks for the heads up. Bent really bad? I will keep an eye peeled. 2 I got seemed to be ok.

 

So now, tires.

Not worried about trying to fit 31s. They'll fit.

32s...Ryan, you're on 32s currently correct? They are 32x11.5? What did you need to do to run them trimming wise?

Then 33s...there is 10.5 and 12.5. I saw the one fella' who's running 10.5s. Is there a big clearance issue with 12.5s?

(I hate searching)

 

Naked has/is running 33x12.5, and on Cragar 8s it looked like. Reading his build doesn't seem to say much about getting them to fit other than having to hammer some stuff back.

I sent him a PM.

 

would it be a waste of time/money to put a coil bucket like the one for the TC "taquito" kit onto a first gen to be able to use coilovers on otherwise stock suspension?

 

He ran 33's with the Chaos mid travel, you will be rubbing a lot on 4.5's with 33's. Black box removed and you should be fine with a 32. I ran 265/75/16 duratracs when I was lifted. Only issue was the black box.

 

Hi, I have a 09 reg 2.7l 5lugs manual tacoma. The OEM tire is 215/70/R15.

I don't have the fee for a lift so I am thinking of getting wider tires to change the look of the truck on my next set of tire. Using the OEM rim that came with the truck, what is the widest tire I can put on it? By doing that, would there be any sort of performance issues?

Don't worry about legal issues for giving advice on this. A tire shop would not put a tire that will not fit as they do not want to be liable.

I just wanted to know if someone here has done something similar using original rim without any lift.

These tacoma looks great and I am very happy with mine as well.

TIA.
