Official 5-Lug Picture Thread

Yeah that was a test to see if anyone was counting lugs. I got caught, here's my 5 lugger.

 

Here’s my 5 lug. Got it back from the shop yesterday.

 

5 lug always loves a sunset.

 

Now thats lookin like some "official" 5 lug off road FUN!!!

Mine is also built for fun, while staying on the pavement..

 

Super clean street truck.
It's my dedicated play toy. Decided to turn it into a large sxs instead of paying 20k for one. It's still plated, but with a roll cage and race seats it's hard to take it anywhere around town.

 

Thanks for the compliments! My truck is my "daily driver" that has also turned into fun street duties since I work remotely. Since I had a nifty 3rd gen 4runner that takes me anywhere in the dirt, I realized I wanted something as fun and reliable as that old truck for the street.


Maybe I am still in honeymoon mode since I have had my 4runner for decades and been all over, but the last year I have had way more fun in this little truck.. Thanks to the vid for clearing traffic from the highways!

Just a thought for your rig, have you looked into adding a swing out door bar for your cage so you can potentially get in and out of the truck easier?

Here's my baby. I want to lift it and get bigger tires. Anyone have recommendations for sizes and measurements?

 

I vote for the lowering side

 

235s if stock, can do 31s with clearancing and a lil lift like I said in ur other post my man. Others can add, but that seems to be the consensus based on ur want/need.

I'm going 31s once my current 235s bald out. Still pending putting daystar spacer and v6 coils in my front for lift. My trucks done fine on trails down service roads n stuff, but still want comfort room for big rocks. ive smacked my rocker panels on them in spots

 

From his other post he plans to take it out camping and down service roads.

 

did the truck's first oil change with the new cylinder head, then went out of town for a hike with the gf.

 

Thanks again for the advice my dude! I am definitely going to upgrade to the 235's. Can you fully turn the wheel without rubbing your tire against anything?

 

Anytime! Yeah no rubbing with turn radius until lock u scrub the inner frame a tad. No reduced radius by any means, and truck still has pep with the tires

 

Hey guys I’m new to the forum, here’s my 2005 5lug Tacoma.

 

new to me 2003 five lug, regular cab, 5 speed, 73000 miles.
hauled its way up the switchbacks to the cabin over ice using nothing more than a couple of (too small) tire chains. Tried it first without the chains and had the delightful experience of sliding 100 feet backwards trying to keep it on the road.

 

a little icy today in NC.

 

What wheels you running? Any modifications to make them work?

 

they're from a Hyundai Sonata - 16 x 6.5. I think they're from 2015-2017 models.

Hyundai center bore is 67.1 like the Taco so they bolt right on. Center caps don't fit over the dust cap on the front hub but whatever.

 

That cars offset is +44. Do you have any issues rubbing??

 

nope, no issues at all. I'm running a 215/60R16 so it's a taller tire than stock (I think by like 0.3") and I'm lowered 2/3 (probably 4" in the back because I'm still on the original, frowny faced leafs). I think the offset is perfect.
