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

3/4" spacers on 4.5" bs makes the wheels essentially 3.75" BS.

And John wouldn't have put 1.25" spacers on because he, like me, thinks that wheels that stick out way past the body line looks stupied.

 

he bought his cousins ranger.

 

I like that knife Idea too!

 

Right but with a 3/4'' spacer..he must have like no stud left..seems dangerous to me..

spidertraxx and allpro and the only spacers id run..but thats just a trust thing..


and he isn't gonna get rid of the rubbing of the frame unless he pushes out the tire more.


check out Tacomadudes build for a goo reference on 285/75s with the 1.25 spacers..

to me it sounds like 275s woulda made him a bit more happy..but i don't know the guy..just assuming and stating info i know from being on here all the time..haha

 

Crap! Maybe that was my problem. I knew I never should have used that damn search button!

 

Liars! I hate you both. j/k

Indeed.

I was just frustrated. The washer fluid reservoir is my biggest concern, I will just have to get creative instead of lazy. It sticks out too much with the new bumper anyway.

 

There's a thread around with like 4 different designs for a new reservoir.

 

I will track them down. Thanks for the heads up.

 

Traded my bro for his honda civic today. Paying $100 a week for gas got old real quick. Only for a couple months though.

 

Thanks! Wish I could mount it similar to the way everyone mounts their maglites but the door gives too much interference with trying to pull the knife out of its sheath. It would probably work with a smaller knife but what is the fun in that?

Plus velcro still allows me to detach and clip it to my belt if I needed to.

 

Looks better that way IMO.......lol definitely keep the larger knife nice job man!!!

 

Got my tires mounted... and tested them out

 

Haha yeah I made sure I had plenty! They don't leak so far.. The truck through a code for the air intake sensor but I moved it around and it went off lol.. I was supposed to change my fuel filter and my serpetine belts but we didnt get around to it.. I got my CB installed and it's working good! Pics tomorrow.. I'm too tired..

 

Damn it this made me realize the pair I was planning on using in my truck look like this to. Its time to look at differant options cuz 110 each to replace isn't worth it.

 

Finished my bedline paint job on my leer camper shell, and got it mounted today.

 

Been busy today..........

 

Nice looking truck!!

I think the stock rims look really good with your lift, especially now with the spacers.

 

Thanks man. I was worried how it would look while I was getting them installed.

 

I picked up three 6x8 Pioneer speakers at goodwill for about $15. This is convenient because my head unit is also a Pioneer.

I had to cut up the factory bracket to make them fit, but fit they did.

While I was in there, I deadened the doors using seal-n-peel (aka the poor man's dynamat). I sealed up the big openings with plexiglass.

I haven't really cranked it because the caulk is still wet, but first impressions were positive: plenty-o-midbass.

Here's a pic, it's not great because I used my phone, and the lighting conditions were less than ideal...

 

Does such a creature exist?

I speak the truth! ha
But I am also lifted nearly 3" in the front (billys on #2 and 881s)
