5 LUG TACO BUILD

nah your good denim dan but ok thats cool. yea i was gunna get new rims when i got some 31s but i've see some stock rims on here that look great when they're painted. so im gunna try to paint mine, then lift and tires, then maybe and regear and locker, if money permits. its just my daily driver so im in no rush

 

My bro has a DC 4x4 and he likes his tires alot he said the side bite it really good and they look pretty beefy too. Also we went to the beach and they didn't do to bad in the sand either. Had a question dcrawfo1 do you wheel your 5-lug at all?

 

i mean i would prolly a little bit but the 30x9.5s on my truck are pretty much road tires besides the fact that they have no tread on them. why? do you wheel a 5 lug?

 

Well I don't have a truck yet but I'm thinking of getting a 5-lug cause of the price I'm just trying to see if it's off-road capable at all

 

Hey guys i dont mean to be a dick but STOP JACKING MY BUILD THREAD if you guys want to ask each other questions send pms. Id like to keep this thread related to my build-up.
thank you

haha sorry dude!

 

Yea sorry about that.

 

Alright guys i know its been a while but im updating my build page. I still dont have enough money for tc mid travel kit so for now i have installed bilstein hd front struts and stock rear bilsteins from a pre-runner. I also installed the rear aal. Looks pretty level to me, one thing i have to figure out is why the drivers side sits one inch lower than the passenger side front. I trimmed my exhaust pipe as well. More to come here are some pics....

 

im really jealous of your truck, just to let you know. its lookin great!

 

Haha thank you, its a slooow work in progress but ill get there. You install a lift on your truck yet?

 

no not yet. its not really priority as much as i'd like it to be. so its gotta wait

 

So i finally installed my satoshi grill HID fogs (thanks amir) : ) and painted my lower bumper. Pics...





Also installed a tire carrier in the bed



I was looking at my rack and pinion and noticed after installing the readylift spacers my tie rod end is stressing. Is it possible to just reverse how it mounts on the spindle to keep it more straight? Will i run into any problems?

 

NICE!
I just got my build going. Yours is coming along really well... so have you decided against an intake system? Im heavily debating on buying the K&N air injection system. I just ordered my magnaflow though it sounds pretty sick on this guys 2.7

Ill let you know if i feel an increase in performance and throttle response when i get the muffler and IF i get the K&N....

 

Thank you, Well the k&n air intake systems are illegal in Ca but i did install a k&n drop in filter. Also i want to throw in a header and muffler for a little growl but not sure which header to go with yet. There has been a lot of debate on which header is better doug thorley or lc engineering.

 

if im not mistaken the hole is tapered like this \ / so if you want to flip it i dont think you can but bust it off and see if you can. nice truck man

 

wheels look sweet! especially with those tiress. i paint mine gloss black awhile ago and left the silver lip. but i've been lookin at these rims:

they USE to be $80 bucks, but now they're $95. but that still isnt too bad for a decent set of rims/wheels

 

nice looking truck man

 

Thanks those wheels look pretty good! I want to get a new set with a different backspacing i hate how they are tucked in so much i want them out just a bit. Looks more aggresive.

 

Thank you
