The Lair

It's a huge commitment and a ton of labor.
I'm still not done and I've been having at it since end of April
Granted I took down alot but still...

 

Does are weird looking toob dawrz.


You killed a little bit of my soul when you painted the cap black.

 

The force is not as strong in me.

So sorry, It's just a coating. It's still white on the inside

 

I decided to go full baller for both my lockers and get this stainless braided air line. Now I'll never have to worry about puncturing or melting them.

You're gonna be the coolest Dad!

 

Oddly, I'm looking at the same stuff. I've been thinking about pre-plumbing the truck.

 

For those air lockers you keep procrastinating on?

 

Those very ones. How did you know!?

 

I finally found a great visual on why lift doesn't help clear larger tires. Your suspension is still going through the same range of motion with a lift. All you're doing is changing where in that range you rest. That's why to properly fit larger tires on a suspension lift, you have to hammer/cut shit out of the way.

*these rules don't fully apply to drop bracket and body lifts*

This explains nicely why I tubbed my firewall for 35s, when almost no one does.

Do it!

 

Yep I still need to do more

 

So essentially what you are saying is that I can fit 35s with no lift?

 

Damn right you could.

 

You just can't turn

 

lol I meant if you properly tub you could. I tubbed my truck which is why I'm getting away with like 1.5" lift in the front. I sit pretty low, which I love. I could throw stock suspension on and still drive around with no rubbing.

 

But will 285s fit? That's the million dollar question.

 

My cousins brothers roommates uncle's neighbor can fit 285s on his tacoma with no lift and he doesn't rub.

 

What about me Jaime? Can I run 42" tires with no lift?

This completely changes the whole Tacomaworld Universe you know. Now all those people that for millenia, have laughed at and made fun of the question "what's the largest tire I can fit on my Tacoma?" have to go back and change their answers to:

 

I don't know if I have the guts to do that...
