Not A Copy/Paste Tacoma Build

Most Recent video on our youtube channel! Wheeling and good times! Along with broken trucks, and other fun things, like airing down and splashing through puddles!

 

That looks like an absolute blast. Man Can has so many cool places to wheel and explore.

 

Yeah man! I've only just barely scratched the surface of BC, nevermind the rest of Canada! It would be a huge road trip, but if you ever make it out this way, would be good times!!!

 

I just couldn't do that Mtn biking you'd be taking me to the hospital

 

Hahaha, it's better wheeling without bikes anyways, they are such a pain to have in the truck!

 

I can only imagine! I'm always down for a road trip. I'd like to see the shop and everything too. Too bad you're way up there or I'd order my wheels through you.

 

Thanks for that! Would be awesome, but completely impractical! hahaha! Maybe we can drop ship directly from a warehouse in the US, who knows haha. What wheels are you getting?

 

I want the same beadlocks you got they are the lightest on the market. Same offset too so that it stays tucked tight to the body with the +4 LT

Your truck with the 2.25 and that offset wheel I showed a buddy he may end up going the same route.

 

Sick! Yeah it's a great setup. I'm digging the wheels so far! Didn't take long to scratch them all up! They look like they belong on the truck a lot more now haha.

The warehouse for these is in the states, so maybe I can drop ship, not sure, never tried before! Either way though, the wheels have been solid so far, no complaints. I just used an 8oz bag of beads in each tire cuz that's what I had on hand, and they run super smooth.

 

How much crap gets in the bed with the shock hole?

 

Surprisingly not that much... I mean, not much more than would be flung in by the tires sticking way out. I was going to cover the holes, but it wasn't bad so I never bothered. The only thing that I had to get used to was dropping things like cans into the bed without looking and having them fall straight through onto the ground haha

 

Technically you don’t have an 8.4” rear. The ring gear is still 8” exactly. The persistent misnomer of 8.4” references the added carrier bearing trusses (that is a big strength as it prevents deflection) and IIRC, the different ring gear bolt pattern/count. With an ARB in there you also now have a 4 pinion (4 spider gears) diff vs the factory open 2 pinion (same goes for the front btw.

 

Your pictures are awesome dude! The northwest sure is a special place!!

 

I'll be honest I'm not as familiar as I probably should be with all the different diff specs, so I appreciate that. But at least when somebody says 8.4, everybody will know what it means.

Thanks man! It definitely is. Blessed to have grown up and live here!

 

What your current skid setup? Still have the Pelfrey front?

 

I have the JD fab center skid section, but haven't gotten around to fabbing up the rest yet

 

Getting the truck into our local version of the desert. Was raining but still a tonne of fun to test out the LT at speed in some proper bumps. My truck didn't really want to go any faster in the soft sand, but got up to 80km/h over some pretty big bumps, even if it doesn't look like it.

Love those pics bro, truck looks right at home.

 

Thanks man! I want to get the rear end redone with more up travel now haha

 

The battle literally never ends
