What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Just wanted to make sure, thank you!

I usually wouldn't look for a quick and easy fix but with the impending/current blizzard I need a fast solution that doesn't require dropping the skid.

 

Thinkin I'm gonna go with the gunmetal level 8 mk6 wheels. Trying to decide between duratracs or km2s

 

How so? They won't seat on the projector at all or they won't fit on the projector in the headlight bowl?

 

Wouldn't seat on the projector I finally got them in though.

 

Used odorban to clean up the interior. Smells and looks nice now. Waiting for some 303 protectant.

Thank you,

 

Got my black TRD boost gauge. Glad I found this. These things are hard to come by. My white face TRD boost gauge will be up for sale.

 

Inches of Mercury, vacuum

sarcasm maybe?

 

Getting my old rusted silver tips replaced with powder coated black tips

 

Do you guys think the MT Sidebiter II wheels in 15x8 will fit on a 01 tacoma. Is it just 15" steel wheels that won't fit

 

Why not just get 16s? You know they'll fit and there's just as many tire options.

 

I am assuming because 33"x12.5x15 gives you cheap tire options.

 

I like the 33x12.50 size and look with a 15. Plus the sidebiters in 16 come with 4.5 bs and no offset. Y'all think the 15s will fit?

 

But them and find out. TW can't answer all your questions

 

15's FTW!! I had to run a small spacer up front to clear the calipers. I'm rolling on ugly steal wheels

 

If I lived south/west I'd have replaced the idler pully with one of the new sealed styles.

But there are only like 2 HOT days here in PA and windows down typically cools everything down good enough.

 

The reason 15s don't fit has nothing to do with steel Vs aluminum. It has to do with the way the rims sit on the mounting surface and how the rims comes away from it. Too shallow and angle and you'll rub. Some have odd lips that rub.

4.5" bs is not going to work with 12.5" wide tires anyways. You'll rub the UCA.

 

Think I'm going to get them. Now it's between 33x12.50 km2s, MTRs, or duratracs

 

The ones I would get have 3.625" bs with -22 offset. Think they'll fit?

 

Back spacing wise yes.

Mount wise...no idea

 

Ok I may try them. KM2s, MTRs or duratracs monte
