Pics of lift/tires/rims finally!

oh yea i think it would look great on your truck too..

 

TJO, what exactly is it you do on the ole' Delaware?

 

I'm a River Pilot that takes ships from Lewes, DE to Philadelphia. Anywhere from a 5hr to 8hr trip. Depends on the speed of the ship.

 

Man thats cool, i need a job like that. Thats the kind of job i dream about after work....

 

Looks kick@ss man!

 

TJO: Did you ever get that sunroof installed?

 

i noticed that wicked hood scoop you had on there. you put that on yourself right? did you just buy a whole other hood or what and how much did you spend in all on the hood? thanks.
oh yea your truck is badass

 

Hey Snickrs, sunroof next week. Wrapping up my summer stuff.

Tacoma 24, I found a guy who wanted to swap hoods and $200 convinced him to trade. Thanks for the compliment.

She is still a work in progress. Blacked out tail lights and 3rd light are at home waiting for me to install. I bought them off Sideways on CT. I'll post pics this weekend. The sliders are the last thing and I can't decide which way to go.

Thanks HomerJ!!!

 

Your truck is going a long way fast! It looks awesome! I can't wait to see what your sunroof will look like!

 

yeah, the trucks looking real sweet. as far as sliders go, i like the pair that LQQK put on his truck, i thought they looked great.

 

Yeah nd, I was trying to talk him out of those all pros. I just don't want to spend $500 on the damn sliders. I am eyeballing 4Xinnovations.com sliders. They are saying $250 shipped and they are bolt ons. Thats right in my ballpark. My buddy ordered them (dub cab) and we are going to hold them up to mine to see if they fit.

And 007, I've been searching for all this crap for the last year and suddenly all my deals popped up this last month. Lucky Bastard that I am!!

Pics with the blacked out tail lights by Monday!

Now get back to work nd!!!!!!

 

no

 

Is it really $500 for the sliders. i saw the ones you were looking at on the Buy/Sell page. I think I might try making some next month.

 

Damn Reid, I wish you lived closer! This guy from TTORA(tacosupreme) has the perfect set. I'd kill for these. He bought them half done from a guy and finished them himself. And of course I have the same dog! I couldn't post the pic so here is the thread.

 

hey TJ what happend with those rims you had before the ivans?

and does anyone know what the biggest size tires you can put on the stock 17'' sport rims without rubbing?

 

I sold the Gunner 6's to SMEbay on TN. They looked really good but I got a deal on the Ivans and couldn't pass it up! As far as the tires, everyone says the 265/75/16 are as big as you can go with very little rubbing. I ran them before my lift for about a year with no problems and even had my mudflaps on. Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions.

 

you stated 265/75/16 are as big as you can go.. but i have 17's what size does that change the tires to be? 255/75/17?

 

Seriously 07TRD, I am clueless about these metric tire sizes. I really can't answer your question. Someone on here will be able to. I just know the 16inch rim sizes. I think the 75 is the height. The 265/75/16s are around 32inches high. That the tallest you can go without a lift. Hope this helps.

 

thanks for trying TJ but if im correct the 75 is the width of the tire, not height the 265 is the height if im correct. and the reason i asked if a tires the 265/75/16 tire would change to a 255/75/17 is because its measured in cm's i believe and 10 cm = one inch, which is a given making up for the height difference. if i were to go an inch bigger on the rim, id have to go an inch smaller on the tire height to still keep that maximum tire size on a stock vehicle you said or else you would rub.

do you understand? or am i totally off?

 

Like I said 07TRD, why can't they just stick with inches. 16's are as big a rim as I will ever go with because the price just goes up on tires with rim height.
