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

Your truck looks good. Most guys here hate the nerf bars, but I like mine.

 

im new here but ill drop off a few pics

 

Can anyone tell me about offset? Im getting 15x8 wheels with 3.75 inch backspacing, and im not sure what the offset should be or if it even matters?

 

I'm very jelly of that sub box. I've got the same speaker.. Need to make a new sub box..

 

Sharp!

 

you'll have -19mm offset.

A 0 offset is better, because it determines where the center of wheel is bolted to if that makes sense.

This.^

And it doesn't really matter if you know what backspacing you need. (Although it might help if the wheels you're getting are measured by offset and not backspacing...) Backspacing determines offset and vice versa. For example, since you have 3.75" backspacing you WILL have about -19mm of offset and you can't change one of the values. *Changing one of the values changes the other since they are (kind of) measuring the same thing.

*The only way you could change one of the values and not the other is by changing the thickness of the rim lip, but I doubt you want to do that! haha

 

Wider the better. Stability and flex.

I am probably 8 or 9" each side wider. FUCKING LOVE IT. When I do d60 it'll be like 12-14" Wider. per side.

 

mhmm, wide stance is good

 

Yeah see this guy wheels and doesnt whine about width. I think wider is better too, and stable is good

 

You selling your camper top? Seen quite a few people on here hunting for them...

 

Wide stance/wheelbase only sucks when you live in new england and half the good trails were cut with a samuri on a golf cart axles

 

guy in my office just sold (traded in) his 1999 3.4l 145K mile pre-runner tacoma for 2,200 for a kia optima...


and I was like ---->

 

Why don't I run into these people???

 

Seriously!! Granted, it was a little beat up - but it was power everything! I paid more than that for my beat up truck with power nothing and 30,000 more miles!

 

Holy shit.. He is gonna regret that..

Well I'm okay with 7'' really up front..but not having the rear come out farther to me seems just..dumb haha

so i think a good mid travel setup will be great for me.

 

My 2001 tacoma last week i added a 3 inch lift kit with 32-11.50-15 goodyear mtr tires and 15" moto sport v-drive rims.

 

correct me if im mistaken, but is that actual TRD on a single tab?

 

There is no such thing as a true single cab TRD Tacoma from that year era.

TRD required SR5 and in all cases extra cab, very few were avail with 4cyl but 90% seemed to be V6 SR5 extra cab with a rear locker to be considered a TRD.

That is just an aftermarket sticker.

 

it took about 4 hours to make all together to make and was rather cheap if i had had the truck with me it would fit and look alot better
