Thoughts on 37s

That's cool and all that it clears at full lock, but lets see full lock full bump

 

Keep rolling those eyes...tested it out today and it fits at full bump. Just have to flip my bypasses inward in the rear and I'm good.

 

Mine stuffs at full lock too. I still think there is room for 40's.

 

Dats 1.5" bigger... That's a lot

 

Are you running a long travel front suspension?
Never mind I just saw pictures a page back. Obviously long traveled with glass

 

Hilux has the same frame (up front anyway) and front suspension as the taco...and they fit on 44's them. Sure, it takes a little work with the sawzall but it can be done.

 

Just because you can...doesn't mean you should.

Do it tgough. Absolutely do it, that would be rad.

 

Yes. Do it. Plz!

I think I remember reading on arctic trucks website that they moved the whole suspension forward on the big hilux kits. I guess all the firewall bashing you guys do accomplishes the same thing though

 

Im so excided, Im getting my 37" bfg km2's put on, I habe a lot more room than I expected @ 3" front and 2" rear lift

 

I have about 90% steer till I massage the body mount a little more

 

Weeelllll I'm jealous. Post lots of pics! Also, what are you guys running for gears? 4.88's?

 

I'm at 4:88's and will be stepping up to 5:13's when I go 9".

 

Everyone now talking about 37's is making me think that it will be easy to get 35's to fit on my truck. But then am I just going to end up wanting 37's?

 

Looks tits man. I dig it.

 

Looks good clupi. Might wanna relocate the spare and cut the tailpipe back if you wheel it though. Just saying, nice looking rig man.

 

+ a tubbed firewall?


Edit: sharing a photo hope that's cool

 

Im runing the stock 3:70's still.. runs like a dog but not too bad on flat surfaces. Im gonna gear to I think 4:88s

 

Yup, from the botom I took off 3" including the pinch weld and gradually toward the top of the pinch weld took off 1" came out great. The only think I still need to work on is a little more off the boddy mount! Once I work on it some more off the inside edge ill post some pictures. I got a great way to chop the factory body mount to clear 37's. It includes rotating the rubber mount to get the bolt out of the way

If you look in this picture you can see the inside back edge corner sticks out

 

Yup.. all in due time i wanted to get the tires on ti see if the tubbing and body mount chop is good

 

Thanks.. You, HomerTaco and Haws i thick his profile name is actually inspired me on 37's.. I almost settled on 35's and I know I would have regreted it once I would have seen all the extra room with the firewall chop but the way I did all the work would work wonderfull with 35" if you are running LT and wanna have full steer but i figured if youre stuffed and turned to lock you bust an axle anyway so im willing to sacrifice about 10%. Thanks again for all the input ill post my build for anyone that needs help... its a good way for guy that have the guts to cut into their Tacos to see more rollin on 37's im not the jealous type.
