Which rims look better on my first gen?

I dig your bumper. Did you make it?

 

TJM, like ARB w/o the grille bar- old pic, that and those wheels haven’t been on the truck for many years

 

Love this truck, same front end and everything, the camper shell looks nice asf, I’m trying to find one rn

 

American Racing AR172, lightest wheel you can get. Idk if they offer one for 5 lug tho. Personally 5 lugs look better with the oem look, jmo

 

Not like that anymore

 

Transformed it from bad ass to really really bad ass. Well done!

Can you notice a big difference with the aftermarket headlights? Trying to decide if I should upgrade mine or just mount some LED’s.

 

I ran procomp style wheels for a bit they were nice on the ol fist gen





Switched them and the truck out for these...

 

Night and day, seriously. I’ve had many instances driving at night with old headlights that were white knuckle experiences whether for fear of animals I couldn’t see, inability to see down far enough to anticipate road conditions or being blinded by bright oncoming headlights and losing night adjusted vision.

Just make sure you fab yours (what I did, look at kits on the retrofit source and research here, lots of info) or purchase headlights with projectors with appropriate cutoffs, running HID bulbs in stock housings is a dick move.

Now that the majority of vehicles being sold have HID projectors it felt like an arms race, having dull headlights is now that much more difficult because everyone else’s lights are so bright

 

Ya you’re absolutely right about it being sketchy, especially if it’s dark while the roads are wet. I was tempted to be an ass and change the bulbs but found out that it’s literally pointless without the correct housings.

I really appreciate the info. I think that might be my next project so I’ll definitely start doing some more reading.

 

You’ll like it, well worth it. There are certain things that can be done that make these trucks quite a bit more modern and safe feeling but there’s nothing comparable to HID projectors for safety and bringing them into the current decade, that and brakes

 

Ya especially with winter coming up it’ll be real nice to have. Plus it’ll make it so I don’t have to sand my old housings. Something like 5 birds with one stone lol

I’m still a newb when it comes to DIY mods and repairs so I can’t even tell you how screwed I’d be without guys like you spelling things out on this forum.

 

Community effort my friend, I picked it up from someone else so just paying it forward

 

Black rims for sure

 

There's always these.....

 

2wd and white…

VOLK TE-37’s all day long!! Any color but chrome!!

 

wtf is this

 

I know couple months old but what size wheel did you get? My son wants to run 15x10 -38 pro comp 67 but afraid the wheel will hit the caliper. What year is your truck and also trim. He has a 2003 4x4 3.4 V6. tks

 

I would get 16s or 17s to be safe. Mine is a 04 4x4(converted) v6

 

Tundra steel take-offs, $25/ea from the local Toyota dealer, Winter/Summer sets
