New look for the Tacoma

Finally got my lift on, Billstein 5100s all the way around set at 2.5 in the front and an AAL in the rear. New 285/75/R16 Toyo M/Ts on black Raceline Renegades.

What do you think?

When I bought it.


After the lift.


With the new wheels and tires.

 

Looking good Jason , nice truck .

 

Looks like a whole new truck.

 

Looks great! Enjoy!

 

She's a beaut!

We're rocking the same colourway, too...so I guess I would say that .

Enjoy.

 

nice lookin ride!

 

I like it whats the Cv's look like?

 

legit

 

looks P.I.M.P. now all you need to do is hit the flares with some plastic paint.

 

The CV's angles are not bad at all, surprisingly. I have a diff drop kit and was planning on putting it in but I'm having second thoughts. I guess it cant hurt??

Thanks for the compliments guys, I think it turned out good. Only thing left to do is a new, longer rear brake line, much needed.

Had to do a small amount of trimming to the plastic lower bumper valence as well as hammer the pinch weld behind the front tires. No big deal and looks good with the 285s

 

sexy

 

Also, noticed quite a few posts from people looking for a write up on the 5100/AAL install, so I took quite a few pics while doing the work. Planning on throwing a little write up together, even though the lift is fairly simple install. Only advice, if you question the install, get help from another buddy. I completed the lift myself, start to finish including compressing the coils (with a cheapo compressor from knechts). So, it can all be done andy actually a pretty simple install.

 

It gets my vote too you made it look damn tough yet stayed sane about it.

 

Looks really good! Solid.

 

Makes the already sweet truck sweeter! I went to black rim too on my black tacoma

 

thanks guys

 

lookin good bud

 

your truck looks sick man!

 

Sick look.

 

HAHAHA!! I was looking at the first picture and I was like "wow that must have been really short before the lift.." then i scrolled down and was like "wow alright now that makes sense.. needs new tires though".. then I scrolled down some more and was like "Nice.. just what I was thinking"

Very sick truck. What kind of rubber are you using?
And I like the sound of your write up. I wanted to do one too but got lazy and didnt take any pics.
