Northern Virginia Roll Call

Dude, oil changes on 3rd gens are no joke! That shit is annoying. I changed my oil today, took like 15 min with the fumoto valve

 

It will be Shannon’s trail toy

 

Damn! That sucks.

Right on! More importantly.... Hows the beer?

 

A boring night that has me watching old, original episodes of Wonder Woman. and now the Original black and white movie, The Wolfman. I need a life..

That said.. Any know squat on these fenders? https://www.fiberwerx.com/collections/2016-toyota-tacoma/products/2016-2020-toyota-tacoma-bedsides

Still brain storming my earlier thoughts of today.

 

Sure. They'll fit, but if you want uptravel and the ability to turn, you'll have to tub the fuck out of the firewall and wheel wells.

Fenders won't help clear 34s as you'll still have to clear the firewall, wheel wells, and cab mounts.

 

I don’t think tubbing would be necessary but definitely would need some work. At the very least an aggressive cmc, firewall “massaging” and trimming the lower part of the fenders/flares

source: my 295s which measured out to 33.6x11.1 and my ability to clear throughout the whole range of articulation

 

Where you lifted or stock height? He's talking about 34s without a lift.

 

It wouldn’t matter based on me being able to clear full bump, lock to lock. That’s like right now with my 35s. Since I tubbed and clear lock to lock, if I really wanted to I could drop it down to stock height, which I’ve considered. But then my ass would be too high in relation to my front

 

It would take some work to do, but I think 34x10.5 would look sweet on a stock height 3rd gen. Part of it would be picking the least aggressive wheels possible. As narrow as you can, and as tucked in as you can, just enough to not rub the UCA. That’d make for the least amount of work

 

Rite rite. Just thinking outta the box a little.

Right on. Thinking with the stock setup. this might be a bit harder to do. Just a thought though.

Agreed. Kinda the reason at was looking at the fenders... Even if I had to go with some kinda spacers or an offset wheel, I'd still want the tires to tuck under the fenders if at all possible like the stock configuration. Weather it'd actually work or not is another story.

 

I think the fenders would be the least of your worries as far as clearancing goes. When I had 295s I just had to trim the lower ~10” of the fenders back a little bit (~1”) with a jigsaw. The most work was cutting up the cab mount to a little itty bitty box.

 

Gotcha. Like I said... Brainstorming ideas for the, if I wanna.

 

I love me some brainstorming. Just thought I’d provide some input based on what I’ve done and what I think it’d take. I think the best way, if you’re willing, is just slap them tires on and then clearance as necessary. Just gotta be willing to put the work in.

 

Thanks. I need ta look up you truck and see what all you've done to it.

If Interco only made these in a 17 incher. https://www.intercotire.com/wheel/325

 

Good luck as my build thread is a monstrosity. Questions are easier. That’s a slick looking wheel though!

 

Rite. I've always liked it. The dual offset valve stem setup is cool as well. The though process behind it was a good one.

 

What WAS the thought process behind it? And if it only comes in a 6 lug pattern, why is the picture of a 5 lug?

 

One perk of dual valve stem is being able to monitor pressure in real time while airing up and down.

 

Oh ok. Gotcha

 

I meantto tell you there was or is a 2014 TRD OR DCSB in Pyrite Mica for sale here at the dealership
