    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.

    Yeah those are a little wide! I thought the ones on my truck were wide but those are at least 3 to 4" wider then mine. Im running a kickout and kick up but im about 7" over stock. Maybe some 12.50 on 10" wide wheels they might fit a little better you could always cut the legs down some they look pretty long.

    They are definitely wide but I think if you cut the kick UP off they will be fine.

    It honestly looks like the kick ups are useless anyway since the kick outs are so wide.

    Yeah, you guys helped me make my decision. Kickup is pointless and looks goofy, coming off.

    Does something you did with your Tacoma count?

    Went to the farm to finish up the quad pod and clear shooting lanes.

    Parked my truck for a while, probably through winter. I have some major mods planned for it before next season. I picked up a 92 accord for $300 that is my new beater. It's nice going to the gas pump and not buying premium...

    Skid plates fit in the trunk, so I'm good there. It sags with 120 pounds though.

    I think honestly most of them don't know the difference from 1st to 2nd gen.

    At least in the Bay Area the Majority I see are 16-18yo with a lifted 2nd gen from the factory that mommy bought. There are a lot of members in east and South Bay that are 2nd gens and don't fit that bill at all, but go to Marin and OMG every bro has a dark grey tacoma on black&chromes.

    They ever fix the fact the Light Racing UCAs kept breaking? Either way I still don't trust them so I'd never buy them, but was just curious if they did.

    I'm not sure. I got them from another member on here for a great deal that I couldn't pass up. Was going to get some total chaos for $450 but he never got back to me

    Pretty much. I started a thread asking if anyone else, besides myself, always pulled the fuse panel whenever they went to pop the hood. A whole bunch of 2nd Gen guys posted, asking how I could possibly get the two mixed up. I pointed out they were in the 1st Gen forum. Didn't hear anymore out of them.

    Rotating tires, so figured I would try the wheel spacers again... After driving around town, I noticed the same cyclicalc licking sound as before when turning and sometimes when going straight. Perplexing. I don't feel very safe with the clicking...

    Any ideas? I wish I would have gone with spidertrax, good reputation. BORA dorked up some shipments from the group buy, and wondering what else they may have screwed up on. They offered to take a look at them if I ship back. Thoughts? Rambling..
