Alabama thread!

Can you fit 35's with stock suspension and just cutting? This is getting interesting.

 

is removing the entire fender still considered "just trimming"?

 

Hell yeah brah! Just a trim!

 

I didnt know a dead battery could burn a starter up. But had to replace both which sucked. Some trimming, my truck still has The leveling on it but my suspensions is just old so. I will let y'all know on my next day off, if anybody wants to come experience this trimming and fitting with me lemme know!!! Haha, I'm not doing a chopshop now

 

Ah. Didn't realize you had the leveling kit, and was kinda scratching my head as to how you were running 285's, but that makes sense now.

I think Parker had to manhandle his firewall with a BFH to get 35's to fit. Might want to see if he can weigh in on it.

 

35s eh? It is a ton of fun to get them to fit. A little advice:

Dont hit the soft part (upper part) of the fender well very hard. I put a hole clean through it.

You are going to have to hit the corner extremely hard, just dont miss.

I would leave the door on, but take the fender off. I took both off and now my door does not shut exactly right because it tweaked the mount.

Seal it up really well when you are done, i had good success with bondo and bed liner.

Im not sure what your plans are for trimming the fender but a dremel worked well for me.

One more thing, i took the shock out and cycled the tire up and down multiple times throughout the process on each side and it helped a lot.


Let me know when your going to do it and i could stop and offer some pointers and hang out.

 

I'll be doing most of it on Sunday, if you come lemme know cause we also making some ribs!! and then if we finish we can take pics and go for a short ride.

 

Sooooooo, I kinda did a little shopping.






It's not solid axle, but i got a hell of a deal on it, so i'm happy!

It's a 95 Tacoma, 3.4l, access cab, 4x4 of course!

 

Time to change your vehicle information in your profile. Looks like you will be having fun with this!

 

I got a 2012 Tacoma and just ordered some 5100's with eibachs and AAl does anyone in the Birmingham area have a recommendation on which shop/person I should have to install all of it. Thanks

 

Install it yourself for free! If you do it on a date that i have off work, I'll come help. I've installed that very same setup on my 2007. They both have the same suspension.

We have multiple people here who may come help, too. The only way to know it's done right is to do it with your own two hands!


And welcome to TW from Montevallo!

 

CONGRATS im quite happy for ya dave!!

my opinion is DIY and save the cash

 

Yeah, I need to update it now!

There Will be fun! Lots of it!

 

Thanks, I'm very excited!

 

Okay, this truck has what appear to be Fabtec coilovers on the front. And they ride like shit. They appear to be cranked all the way up. Does anyone have a spanner wrench?

 

Next question.... I'll likely be helping our new member mtwil9 install his new lift on his 2012, most likely the weekend of the 20th. If anyone has the weekend off and wants to make it a group effort, let me know!

 

i know if you get them in before sunday ill be doing some work on my truck...we can turn wrenches together. hopefully another tw member will be over the same day. more than enough room and plenty tools to do it

 

Im gonna be busy this weekend but if your not doing anything next weekend maybe you can come meet up with us.

 

I think i have one. Ill try to find it and get back to you tomorrow.

Congrats on the new truck, when i get mine fixed lets wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel!

 

Dang i dont think i will be able to make sunday, going on a college visit
