Let's see your 5-lug street taco!

Not looking to change mine. Was just wondering if yours is the same.

 

Updated mine with the Lunar Mist grill and bumper off a wrecked SR5.



And finally got some SRunner seats too!

 

love your truck. I want (but can't afford to) a single cab to fix up. every time I save up a $1000 it finds it's way to my S-runner. what plans do you have for this?

 

Thanks for the compliments, your SRunner is one of my favorites on this site too!

Some upgrades in the pipeline - I have a tilt column and SR5 gauge cluster with tachometer to install. Also an oem stereo with an aux input to be going under a factory center console. I have already ordered up some custom coils from Deaver to drop the front 2.65" and will have them re-arch the leafs to give it some drop for better handling and improve the stance.

The big change would be the LCE supercharger calling out to me as well, since I just got the smog check so I will be good to go for a couple years!

Probably some other tidbits will find their way onto my truck as well of course...

Back on the topic:

 

Sharing this here until i get a build thread going, few more things in the works but I love how it's looking so far.

(P.S.- Please ignore the incorrectly directed front tire, excitement to get her on the ground got the best of me )



(Edit: 4/8/20)
Current 3/4” drop as follows:
• SDYota Garage QA1 LCA conversion
• QA1 Single adjustable front coilovers w/ 8” 600lbs springs
• Complete front end rebuild using Moog components
• SDYota Garage Rear 4” block w/ lo-pro bumpstops
• QA1 Single adjustable rear shock

Wheel & Tire:
• Enkei RPF1 18x9 +35
• Achilles ATR Sport 235/40R18

 

Sexy!!

What did you do for your drop to get that sweet stance going? And what size tires and offset are you running here?

 

Thanks man! Hope this helps you and others that may be looking to drop their truck as well. There’s a lot of information available through these forms and guys on Instagram and can sometimes be tough to find the exact answer you’re looking for. Not every setup will be the same so trial and error will definitely be necessary, especially when it comes to wheel and tire choice but that’s all part of the fun. Happy modding

Well what will get me the most drop without bags static

 

Check out the lowering for noobs thread..

Truck looks great, nice stance. I see you have bikes too stop by the Motorcycle BS thread

 

Front lowered by DIY *edit* >Went from QA1’s to double adjustable Vikings installed 10” springs but I should have used 12” springs so I ordered new Hyperco springs.< DJM upper control arms w/ stock lowers, polly or thermoplastic bushings.
Rear with 4x4 leafs w/ a cut 1/4” leaf on left & 1/2” leaf on right between spring & axle, X-run rear sway. Changed to shorter Vikings shocks. My .02 cents is single adjustable QA1’s are a better bang for the buck. Still trying to get the adjustments correct it’s a pain in the @$$...
235 & 245/50-19’s on 19x8 & 8.5 forged Ray wheels, 3.73 gear, StopTech BBK, URD SC (that’s now for sale) & LCE header with an LCE cat-back (had two large Magnaflow's installed) I need to install the white door handles setting under the drivers seat. Debating on a TrueTrac LS? The SC doesn’t have enough HP to need one but someday when I find someone I trust to install an L33 (LS 327) with a Tremec it will need it!

 

Niceee

 

Much appreciated!

 

Beautiful trucks guys my 1999 regular cab 5-lug is currently licking its wounds in the backyard after a Jeep Wrangler tried to make it with "Yota". This post gives me the inspiration to fix it up

 

Go for it bro. They’re worth rebuilding no matter what condition. If that was closer to me I’d be trying to take it off your hands

 

I've so much mechanically to this truck in the almost 4-years I've had it. Today I'm driving 75 miles (each way) to get a tailgate and bumper

 

Hey new to the group!
Anyways here’s a before and after pic of my 2006 Tacoma

Custom Paint job
19x8.5 rims

if any has a suggestion for meaty tires to help fill the wheel well please share! ✊

 

I’m gonna lower it maybe 2-3 inches.
The truck is a manual transmission.
I was thinking about 275/35/19s but I wanna see what everyone’s take is on it,
