What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

i've tried haggling down the guys at 4wp before and there were pretty firm around 650-700 unfortunately. maybe if i keep bugging them over and over again haha... i think they must get dinged with border fees or something, i imagine i'd have the same problem even if i made the road trip which is about 6-7 hours round trip just to the border. i figure i could get $500 for my arb currently, and since i'm still in school full-time and our economy is in the toilet right now its just not worth it if i cant break even trading bumpers around since its only preference not functional

getting the TG parts separate and building the tubes might be a good idea for someday though... probably will just leave it alone for now till things pick up around here again..

 

Just put it on at a walmart parking lot lol it's not too hard since it's relatively light and it just bolts up.

 

hahah that is a great suggestion, would be easy enough to drive down with no bumper then install it on site. may be the best option if i decide to pull the trigger on it

 

CBI is in Idaho Falls ID, they're listed as a TG dealer but they don't have any TG stuff on their website, might give them a call. they also offer their bumper as a weld together kit for $450 that you might be able to sneak thru the border lol

Or go to 4wp on the ID/WA border near Spokane and have them price match somebody...

 

Anyone ever run these wheels?

Im looking for a cheap set of 16x8 steelies i can turn into beadlocks and this is the cheapest ive found

 

cheers, thanks for the info man

 

Doesn't it say on that link that they aren't beadlock compatible? I was just looking at those the other day for the same reasons.

 

I've got these wheels, 6 lug of course. Love em..hard to beat a good cheap steelie..I've got 5 of em 15". taken all the beating I've thrown at em for the last 100k miles

 

Awesome thabks for the quick reply

 

What do you mean exatly that they arent beadlock compatable? I was looking at the weld in kits to turn regular steel wheels into beadlocks?
If this comes off rude its not meant to be, just genuinely confused

As far as i could tell the link just said they didnt come with a beadlock unless i missed it

I have the procomp ones same style. Tough as hell 4WP sells them for cheaper than that last time I checked. I don't think they are beadlock capable though

Edit:
I stand corrected I did some reading and people have done a weld on beadlocks. From what I understand, no shop would dare balance them for you so it seems like a very taxing job. Maybe for a dedicated crawler it'd be worth it

 

Not starting a pissing contest just trying to relate, my front axle is right at 8k alone FTW!

 

No doubt. You, Jerry, and Jon. Linking the front is probably the most expensive route..haha

 

just curious how much you'd be into the wheels after all is said and done? reason I'm asking is you can get Raceline RT-51s which are ready to go for about $200 a wheel.

 

Best I have but if you look at the latch about 6" to the right I put a piece of angle iron on the bottom of the gate that braces against the bumper when I tighten it down.
Build thread of your interested.

 

Right above "Beadlock Included" is "Beadlock Functional", for which is says No . Not sure if that means the wheel isn't beadlock functional as is (obviously), or if you aren't able to weld in your own beadlocks?

 

Internal beadlock compatible as well as weld on.

 

Thank you tcbob. Repinn it baby!

 

Time for some window tint

 

it is factory tint just looks clear in picture
