TacomaDude's Truck

Thanks for your kind words man!

Mainly just ready for the extra room. I am still in love with this truck as much as I have always been and it will be a huge heart breaker to see it go.

 

U gonna get another taco? Dbl cab 1st or 2nd gen....

 

Looking at a full size diesel.

Wow! I just checked out your thread and your truck has come a long way!!! Man, that looks great! Love the glass!!

Nice to hear from you bud!

 

Truck is now for sale: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1s...2-fs-2002-trd-3-4-5spd-3-suspension-lift.html

 

have you had any problems running your wheel spacers with your gorilla "spline" type lugs? I have the same ones as you and wheelers is saying i need a "acorn" style of lug to run them... they are installed with the ones you have currently and i dont see any problems?

 

The wheel spacers themselves are mounted to the hubs via the supplied acorn style lug nuts.

The wheels on the other hand are mounted to the spacers using the splined conical lug nuts.

No problems running this setup.

They may be saying that because the lug wells inside the spacers (assuming Spidertrax as that is the brand they sell...) are machined to fit the supplied acorn style nuts, not conical style. The aftermarket rims like you and I run have the smaller lug wells and do not fit the larger OE lug nuts as well and this where the smaller conical lugs come into play.

 

Ahh I see. Yeah I used the supplied nuts to attach them to the truck then our spline style lugs to attach the wheels to the spacers themselves... Just wondering cause I didn't wanna buy ANOTHER set of lugs haha thanks man. Any hits on selling your truck?

 

It sounds like you've got them installed correctly!

I actually took it off the market. I had it nearly sold and was going to meet the buyer at the bank but decided to keep it until I'm finished with college.

 

The new project.

7.3, ZF6.

 

daaaamn!!

 

Nice, but I'll always love your tacoma

 

That's a sweet Tacoma Tacomadude89!

 

Thanks, it was a great truck.

I've often wondered if the new owner is a member here.

 

how miles on that 7.3 p-stroke?

 

She's got close to 200k. Still has excellent compression.

Here's a few updated pics. Have done a lot of miscellaneous things and one of the most prominent has been a new custom rear bumper built. Next up is a roof rack to hold a full-sized spare, high lift jack etc.

 

Hey tacomadude that was a sweet truck. I have an 03 same color and going to do the same lift and pro comp wheels but black and 285's. I know you sold it but do you remember what kind of gas milage you were getting out of it with that setup?
