"Wheeler's Anonymous"

Thanks what's the status on your rig lately ?? Any updates

 

Rig is 2wd for the time being. Serving it's purpose still tho haha. After school and holidays settle down and I can play $$ catch up then I'll get things rolling with it

 

@dtaco06 here is the spare Method wheel I was talking about.

 

It is just a paperweight for the time being. It can come in handy with these Santa Ana winds in Fontana.

I ended up buying these https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-lug-nuts-socal-phoenix.515637/#post-16669931

 

I’m running ProComp 5001 16x8 w/ 4.5”bs but I’m also running 1.50” spacers Up Front & 1.25” Out Back ... so basicly that’s 6” of spacing

Oh and Happy Belated!

 

That would be 3” up front

 

Thank you Jason!

Do you think they'd clear without the spacer? Or how thin of one could you run to give you enough clearance (.25", .5",.75", 1.00")?

 

Gotcha!
That’s right... it’s less because more! Shit makes me dizzy!
Insert Common Core Math Problem...

 

I couldn’t say TBH...
I was going for the wide stance bulldog look!
I’m betting .75” would do it but I feel like I read something about the possibility of the studs being too long for .75” and causing a problem??? (I believe that was on the Spacer Manufacturer’s site)
Also I believe that if you’re running spindles they give a .75” push...??
I’m pretty much a lamen and a noob when it comes to most of this stuff... I rely on the experts here on TW to point me in a well informed direction!

 

I’m personally not running the spindles...

2WD

 

I’ve got my sights on a ‘96 Runner in the very near future!

 

3.4

 

Not surprised being that the front suspension on our trucks are the same haha.
Let me know when I can come swing a sledge!

I'm basically trying to future proof my next truck. Eventually, one day maybe I'm hoping to be LT and I'd like to keep it as narrow as I can. Right now with 9" wide wheels at 4.5" bs and my spindles adding another .75" I'm pretty wide. If I were to run an 8" wide wheel with 4.5" bs and 2" over LT I'd only be .25" wider than I am now. That wouldn't be an issue running narrow trails. If I need 4.00" bs that adds another .5" to my width meaning I'd be .75" wider per side.
Probably over thinking it, but while I'm saving in preparation to sell my truck I've been researching haha.

Oh also yes, a .75" spacer would be too thick and not leave enough wheel stud exposed for the lug nuts. You can get longer studs to accommodate for that though.

 

My 3.0 Shit Talking senses are tingling

 

No beating. Cut, patch, weld.

 

My First Tacoma was a ‘96 4WD...
Loved that truck!
I beat the shit out her and she wouldn’t quit!

 

Super easy work brah. Cut into the pinch weld every couple inches with grinder or dremel. Then you can hammer it over really easy. Throw some black RTV over it when you done.

 

That’s what I should do... RTV It!
Pretty easy to do?
Looks clean?
Just along the edges and fill in the cracks kind of deal?

 

I smeared black rtv over the whole area. Blends in with the black liner thats already there. Super easy and looks clean. Have to rtv when you mess with pinch weld. Water can leak in there.

 

Do that after RTV
