Fuck it, I'm running 2" in the rear! Surely I'm not going to fling a tire on the freeway some day soon...

 

You obviously didn't notice my spacers on 17" sports 2hrs ago..... They're anodized blue, kinda hard to miss.

 

I did on our random meet up county a few weeks back

 

I ran spidertrax for a year without any problems. Just have to put loctite on them and make sure they are torqued. Also get a well known brand like spidertrax or bora

Come on out September 26th for a recovery party with COMEUP!
We will be having a free recovery class taught by the venerable Marc Bowers starting at 10:30 am.
COMEUP will be on hand to answer questions and tell you all about their awesome line of winches.
And last but not least we will have all our inventory on sale for a end of the summer blow out!

The class will cover what to do when you get stuck, the proper use of shackles, straps and recovery points, Using a tire plug repair kit, and basic winching. After that we will have a question and answer session.

 

Awesome, I'll likely be there.

 

I just swapped to some 16" Steelies, and will be selling my (4) 1" BORA Spacers if you're interested.

I plan on doing a quick write-up explaining how you can run steelies w/o grinding your calipers or running shitty universal spacers.

Long story short:
I replaced the (12) front studs with the longer Matrix studs: https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1060167
I had Lenny at Motorsport-Tech (BORA) make me a set of 10mm (3/8") Hubcentic spacers
I installed the steelies with new 60° conical lugs, so now the new wheels (Cragar Soft 8s) clear the calipers just fine, they are hub-centric AND lug-centric.
There is no need to replace the rear studs or run spacers. The Steelies clear just fine.

 

...and here's the write-up: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/how-to-run-16-steelies-easily-and-safely.391859/

 

I also run steelies. I used ARP studs and the same motorsport-tech spacer. I've had them for about four years without issue. I will note I'm running extremely heavy double beadlocks and the ARP wheel studs probably won't be needed for most of you guys.

 

To the guys in the 07 BSP Tacoma with a 3 inch lift who came to the bar as I was leaving.

I have a 06 Tacoma BSP with a 3 inch lift. It was also dark and I was drunk. So there for jumping into what I thought to be my wife picking me up in my truck sounded like a good idea. My apologies. I owe you both a round. Hahahaha

 

^ That's the funniest thing I've read all morning. Good thing you didn't get shot.

 

Yeah. I was laughing my ass off there was a dude in the passenger seat just looking at me. I was like uhh not my truck hahaha

 

"Who are you and what have you done with my wife?!!!"

 

Off to Walery's for birthday pizza, I'm so excited - haven't had Walery's in probably 5 years!

 

I love walerys

 

Slider day!

 

Wanna make me a set!? Haha

 

@bobsuruncle and I testing them sliders

 

I helped with the holding, measuring and cutting/knotching. My buddy supplied the pipe, welder, lift and a shop.
