Stupid hurts.'s 5-Lugger Build

I have the same 2007 access cab tacoma you have, and was looking into lifting it or just getting larger tires. Not sure what I should do. In 2010 when you had the gold rims on your tacoma did u have a lift on it? If so, do you remember what it was? And what size tires were on it?

Any help? Thanks - Will

 

When you had the truck in 2010 with the gold rims, did you have a lift or leveling kit? If so, do you remember what it was and how big the tires were?

Any help? Thanks - Will

 

where did you get that impulse red scooped hood? or did you have one painted?

 

Willis, to answer your question....Steven was running a Mid-Travel set up in the phots with the bronze rims. Sway A Way coilovers and Total Chaos UCAs. I know, cause that kit is now on my truck, I purchased it from Steven and installed it last year.

All other 5 lugs, then there's this wonderful bastardization of a 5 lugger. American Motorsports 5 Lug LT is what is being run on his truck now.

 

Replied to your PMs.

I had one painted.

Lol, thanks Chris.

 

So youve had the truck done for quite some time now. Ive skimmed through your build after the american motorsports LT kit was installed. What id like to see or know is how the kit handles? All im seeing is pretty pictures of it on the ground. I wana see it flying man

 

UNITED ARTISTS STARBUCKS PARKING LOT FTMFW
LMFAO

 

I've already taken it out to Barstow a couple of times and it handles great. I have a bunch of footage on my GoPro that I haven't gotten around to editing. The only clip I have of it as of now is what's on the first post. I don't have any action shots because we were all too busy driving around and having fun in the desert or watching the MORE race.

Yessir. ​

 

really dig this build! made an account to maybe hopefully build my tacoma soon !

 

Welcome to TW! You'll get a lot of ideas, but you'll also notice your wallet starting to thin out, haha. Btw, I replied to your PM.

 

Thanks Man! Ill keep that in mind ! wallet already thin out with my veedub! this might be my very first mini lift truck, i use to have a old school tacoma on air bag

 

Been MIA lately because I picked up a Miata back in February as a DD/25th birthday gift to myself.



No real updates for now. Just waiting on the 5-lug SCS F5 wheels so that I can justify new tires since I'll be going from 15s to 16s again. I'll also get my 4.88s installed in the near future.

 

nice!! what your plan on the miata? i didnt know your also into tuner cars? i got to a lot of car shows

 

Sorry for the late reply, but here's my build thread for my Miata over on Club Roadster.

Test fitted the SCS F5 wheels for the 5-lug earlier this week and took some pics.





For more info about these wheels and pictures, please go to the post I made in the Official 5-Lug Tacoma SCS F5 Wheel Thread.

those wheels are so nice, next time I get tires I may have to look into getting these wheels too. youve got good taste in wheels, check out your miata build and I'm really diggin those and your motorcycle wheels. they looks sick!

 

Haha, thanks. Sadly, the current batch of SCS F5s for the 5 lug may be the only batch considering the market for them at the moment.

 

Yup. 2.0x14 double bypass and smooth body.

 

They're finally on! Went with 285/75R16 Hankook Dynapros.

 

Badass build man!

 

this truck came a long way.
Looking good.
