Official 5-Lug Picture Thread

Thanks man. It's hard to find wheels for these trucks since the center bore is so big. But sounds like your sonata wheels and my patriot wheels fit match our trucks perfectly!

 

Yessir. 32x11.5

 

Running 31s with the fat bobs 2.75 inch lift. My Bilstein 4600/5100s came in and I’m just waiting for the parts for my 2” body lift from 4Crawler to arrive

 

nice truck brotha

 

Looks nice and even lower miles than my '04! What wheels and tires did you choose? I'm looking for new wheels and tires, with the goal of not changing the overall height from stock. Stock in my case being 27.1 inches.

I like the chrome bumper upgrade too. I would like to do that and the chrome surround grill and parking lights.

Looks good! What are your wheel and tire specs? Is that on stock suspension?

 

Thanks! Its got the readylift kit with bilsteins front and back, and its on some procomps 17inch (cant remember the name) and KO2s 31

@farmdit,
Sorry to be noisy, but may I ask what transmission & rubber in/on the above Taco?
Why because my 2.7l w/ manual 5 spd. had a 3.31 gear & when I went to 255/50-19 or 29” tall tire the truck fell on it’s face! I first went w/ 4.10 but it was to low. So I traded an member for 3.73 gear.
Auto 2.7l’s come with a 3.58 gear. You can find complete 3rd. members for as little as $150 plus a gasket & fresh lube... If you can change your oil you install a 3rd. member. Just my .02 cents.

 

4.10s u want 31-32s or 33s, no less than 31, sucks u had to switch around. I have 3.58s with mt on 235/75/15s or 28.9 in tire and it does well

 

I've got the Auto transmission with an ECGS 3rd member w/4.56 gearing and ARB locker sitting on 265/75/R16's (31.6"). The gearing is perfect with the 4.56 and the 32's; in (remember: auto) 4th gear I'm sitting at 2500rpm at 70mph. Third gear maxes out at around 95mph, so it's perfect for passing. With the controllable height the rear airbags give me, I can easily tack on a few hundred pounds in the bed without any sag whatsoever and still a comfortable ride and reduced body roll. My motorcycle can ride on it's hitch carrier and still not experience any rear sag, which really helps with the decrease in departure angle that thing brings when in use.

edit: words

 

Badass!

 

I was initially set on the 4.10's but decided to go with 4.56 and just go another tire size up if the RPM's were too high at cruising speed. It turns out to be right where I like it, and I drive a considerable amount on the highway. If I could find someone to fab me custom UCA's I would be pretty stoked. Might try to have a friend build them in the future but they'd be hand made so not easy to replicate for anyone else. Hmmmm

 

I imagine if enough of us were to write to Total Chaos we could resurrect their market for 5-lug UCA's? Lol who am I kidding that'll never happen.

 

@TOTAL CHAOS pls take our money lol

 

I talked to the guys at total chaos at the offroad expo about getting a taquito kit, they said that they still make old kits they just dont put them on their website cuz people are not buying them. Just give them a call and they would help out

 

Id think if you gave em a call they'd get you a set of uca

 

I just called them regarding the old mid or long travel kits and they basically said I'm shit out of luck. It's a bummer because you know they have those CAD files lying around in a folder somewhere they could send to someone for fabricating. Obviously they don't think it's worth the time.

The hunt continues...
