5 lug mods

i got my 11' Tacoma 4banger 5lug.
looking to do something with my wheels and tires.
and a lift or something. i know that 235/75 is the biggest on the stock steelies. and i heard that if you do the black box mod you can fit 30x9.5/15 with no lift and no rubbing. i really want to do that but its not 100%. its just what people heard. so if anyone knows if its true please inform me on it. my taco looks like a little girl with those ugly tires. but i still love her

 

here she is

 

Drop that thing and lay it on 20's instead!

 

Fatbob's 2.75" lift and 31x10.5 with 15's...my build rides on that. Power loss and milage goes down but thats all
my MPG is 19-21

 

I put a Fat Bob'son my five lug before I sold it. The ride was horrible. If I had to do it again, I would have stuck with the 235/75. It was a great compromise and the ride was fantastic.

 

Im runnin 30x9.5 on my stock 5 lugger. Removed the black box and I was good to go.

 

wait... whoa.
dc 5 lug.

Don't see too many of those driving around. Especially pre-2012 dc 5 lugs.

depending on your bank account, screw the whole fatbobs idea... go LT. But then again, nobody ever has the money for that, so I believe all the info you have about tire sizes is correct.

 

really like the way it looks.. im going with this. no mods just the black box?

 

i wanted to drop it but i go riding my dirtbike at the tracks and inorder to get there you have to climb the mountain. so thats ut the picture. but all my budds said it would look awesome. but imma go with the 30x9.5 and the black boxes

 

yah bro my income sucks so imma have to work it slowly

 

To give you an idea of what's possible as a bolt-on:

Since you have a double cab, which comes with the 4x4 fender flares, you can probably accommodate the track width increase without fiberglass fenders.

 

Not to hate or anything, but I bet that thing feels slow as a dog. Double cab 4 cylinder just sounds cray to me.

 

^It's lighter than an Access Cab 4cyl 4x4, which has been offered since the beginning.

 

True. But where I live there's no need to speed.

 

Yuppp ... No other mods. I went with some ProComps 7169??? i think that was the model. 15x8 and 30x9.5 tires. Had to put 3mm spacers in front to clear the calipers though. 5 Luggers should have came with 30x9.5! haha my Tacoma looks and feels like a truck after the bigger tires.

 

Thanks bro. Looks pretty bad ass with no lift and some pretty fat tires. Stalky like bull dogg. Now time to save up. Or just use some tax return money. Hah

 

Isn't the MT kit for the 5-luggers around $2500 as opposed to $4k+ for the LT? That seems more affordable, and perhaps a little more tarmac friendly too, yes?

 

Where did you get your 3mm spacers from? did you need them?

 

Nice looking truck! I have a '12 reg cab Taco 5 lugger and have been looking at the Ready Lift 2.75 lift. Do you have a link for the Fat Bob 5 lugger lift?

 

I'm new to Taco world. What is the black box? I'm wanting to modify my 5 lug reg cab and have been looking at Ready Lift's 2.75 2wd lift but I like the look of yours with the 30/9.50/15s.
