Lowered Taco? LETS SEE 'EM!

Me too. The Toyota Cream was one of my faves. Its in decent shape still too for the most part.

 

Florida???

 

GUAM

 

These old Toyota trucks have the cleanest body lines only issue with them the cab is on the small side. Ford LTD wheels?
Edit, You’er correct the Crown replaced the LTD I believe?

 

Crown Vic wheels if I remember correctly.

 

I love how small it is! I'm not a big guy and I love I can reach across and roll the window down. Doesn't even have a passenger side mirror from the factory. No blind spot on that side. Lol it came with a set of the lower offset crowns but I wanted these and found a nice set, then had them refinished and painted.

Yep! Crown Vics.

 

06 Taco … stick

 

Are you gonna lower it?

 

Maybe once I get a new set of shoes I’ll go a bit lower got too many speed bumps to go super low here lol

 

nice looking truck and color!

 

Thank you! Original paint.. Toyota Creme

 

2005 Tacoma with 5 speed too broke to get the front lowered

 

Just finished my 2/3” drop! Rubs just a smidge on stock tires at full lock and on bumps. The fender liner doesn’t appear to be taking too much of a beating but now I have to find proper rims and tires.

I was thinking Enkei RPF1 17x7 with some hankooks.

turbo kit should be otw from KOracing.

before and after of the day I bought my truck vs now at my new apartment in Denver

 

Congrats, but if you do go boosted I think you might want to go to 18” wheels so you can do @mjbtaco big brakes from a Cadillac. Maybe @mjbtaco can chime in.
The OE tire is 27” tall and a 245/45-18 is 26.65. RPF1’s now only come in a 18x8 w/35 on 5x114.3 and I *think* you are getting to need more inset. I would recommend the PF01’s they come in a 18x8 w/ a 40, 45 & 50 offset. And truthfully I think the PF01’s are a better built wheel as I have owned both wheels and yes the RPF1 is the lightest but only by a few Oz.

 

Thanks! Don’t really like big wheels so I’m probably going to stick with 17s. The turbo is really just for merging on the highway lmfao. The 2.4L and 3.5 gear ratio does not make for quick 0-60s.
RPF1 comes in 17x7 w +45 offset. Had them on my Miata and really love the wheel tbh.

Wish I could get some apex arc 8s in our bolt pattern tho.

 

My 17x9 rpf1s clear the brakes fine.

 

@Slybeanx and @mjbtaco,
My deepest apologies for some reason I was thinking the BBK that was on mjbtaco truck needed 18” wheels. RPF1’s come in 17x7.5 in a 48et
Open mouth insert foot‼️

Must have had it stuck in my head because I just ordered another set of two piece StopTech’s from SOS/Tundra Racing for a neglected 05 regular cab we picked up to clean up for personal use.
I sent the drawing diagram for the StopTech’s to Chris @ Enkei today to see what wheels will clear the brakes.
I highly recommend good brakes as I know for a fact that if I would have had stock brakes on our supercharged 07 I would have hit the A hole that switched lanes then pegged the brakes on the freeway to get in the next lane over. Then if you hit some A hole in the rear there goes the insurance rates.

 

Put a little work in on the truck yesterday. Swapped arms with my buddy.
