Official 5-Lug Picture Thread

Hi everyone. I'm new here. Just got my taco about 2 weeks ago. Only painted the grille sp far cuz I don't really like chrome.

 

Here's some before/after pics of my 02. Bought her about 10 months ago with 52k miles.

 

seems like they would move around causing the alignment to change

 

Specs? thing looks clean

 

Also

 

Sorry I'm not sure on the specs...picked em up off a guy who had it on his Mitsubishi Lancer. I just knew that the hub would fit my Taco, fit em up, and bought em. They're 16's with 235/55/16 tires.

 

ah no worries, they look killer!

 

Lookin cherry braddah! Simple dimple

 

Cleaned it up a little bit

 

If those end up fitting, post the measurements please!

 

Thanks. I threw on 245/75/16 MT tires on my 300ZX wheels. Just placed an order on the Fatbob's lift kit with the rear shocks.

 

Champion

 

245/75r17! Only had to remove 17% of the vehicle

 

What rims are they?

 

Well I've heard two different stories about them #1 the place I bought them from said they came from Japan (OEM toyota) - they did unload them from a container filled to the brim with with Japanese stuff including a few excavators

#2 the gentleman who installed my automatic locks told me he thought they were off of a Mazda

 

1st gen and 2nd gen 5-lug... Did I mention the 2nd gen is a prius!!!






Just a few pics from north padre island last summer. I plan on making another trip this summer. We made it to mile marker 25.. maybe planning on a few more next time. It was a blast. Good to see y'all are still alive and well!

 

How u been digging the mid travel set up on ur 5 lug

 

Overall it's been enjoyable.

I moved some cinder blocks, and weight was mostly on one side of the bed. This caused my AAL to sag on the left side. It looks like the fts200 lost its arch. Procomps still strong as ever though. I can't afford anything fancy atm, so just gonna put some adjustable shackles with a different setting on each side to level it from side to side in the rear.

Bumpstops still limiting down travel.. haven't done anything there yet. Same with traction bars.. crappy stock worn bushes.

I never replaced those bearing races, either... And let's say I payed the price. Should've taken @Sperrunner advice and talked to my machinist before this happened at 85mph on the tollway.



I damaged the hub and spindle nut, but found some spare parts in the local junkyard as a turn of luck. Mid travel kit held up very well as you can see. I've got new bearings waiting to be pressed in.

Still need to get cross shafts milled as well. Camber on alignment is still slightly negative with no positive adjustment. Gives me a reason to get bigger tires at some point lol.

I pulled the truck in the garage recently to install side indicators on the mirrors and wire up a reverse camera. I'll probably start addressing some of these issues after I get done tracing down wires. I am getting vibes at highway speed, so going to fix bearing races, cross shafts, alignment before looking into the driveshaft pinion angle.

Got in some mud.. one wheel drive kicked in.. but the all terrains saved me. Lol.. def a locker in my future.

And.. the last update.. just a few spare parts for 4wd conversion:

 

Are you planing to sas or add a front clamshell? Also which tranny are you using?
