MTopp's: My first truck build

Save your monies brah

 

Lol, I know, I'm saving up some and spending some, the wheels/tires are in the future and the lift isn't anything too expensive

 

I'm not lifting until i'm out of college.

I'm doing things like head lights, tail light, lighting, may trade the weight of my cap for a tri fold tunno and maybe some bolt on sliders, looking into wheels so i can avoid painting my rusty steelies....i've got plenty to do. i've even made a list of it all. Who needs lifts while still daily driving it?!

 

Ohh, that's a good list, I would like new wheels, still not sure which to get, I'm only doin a small lift that won't affect daily driving a ton and make it look a little nicer

 

The tires are what kill you after a lift. I already went from a P rated tire to an LT which made me gain about 10lbs per corner. Now i want lighter wheels to counter act that. SR5 steelies are supposed to be about 29lbs. I would want a wheel 20lbs or less

 

Ohh, yeah, the extra tire weight is a killer, but what wheels are 20lbs? Alloys? Other steels? I was lookin at pro comp 7032 or mickey Thompson classic 3, but I'll have to look into the weight

 

Konig Counter steer off roads are 19.3 i think

I'm just very skeptical of having the matte black wheel on my blue truck that already is hot enough as it is. But if i got the bronze color, i wouldn't have anything else to match it....and i'm not sure about their gun metal color, i'd probably have to see them in person

There are many other things on my list but wheels are creeping up every time i see the rust :'(

 

Yeah, I painted mine, but they're just junky and ugly. I would get the gunmetal maybe, but I don't like those wheels much and they're mucho dinero

 

I'd pay that for them when the toyota wheels are as mediocre as they are. I had a set of sport wheels and ended up selling them because the corrosion on the back of them bothered me that much. That and i hate buying 17" tires.

I've also seen the off road model alloys with big chunks of coating falling off of them left and right

Another problem is that if i put $900 worth of wheels on my truck, i think i'd be afraid to use it lol

 

hahaha, true. Idk, I'll keep looking I guess

 

subd.. im broke as crap too lol

 

Lol Matt. This Matt\/ is the coolest dude from Jersey i've met on here lol

 

Matts a little geh but he's cool

Haha I'm kidding Matt! You're a cool dude

 

he must be if you two are hanging around here

 

Hahaha, thanks guys, I think

 

Loool

 

Well, tried to put on some ditch light brackets, but then it started poring and hailing. Guess nature says no

 

Cleaned up my grille and reverse light wiring when it cleared though, looks much better now lol, not a wirey mess

 

Reverse lights?
