Ycart1201's 2016 Tacoma Build

Yes. The stock tires that came on my sport were 265/65-17. Definitely not as tall.

 

Mine are 265 70 17 stock

 

Absolutely love the gunmetal rims.. was sick of seeing black rims on a silver truck this is quite refreshing

 

Thanks!!! I couldn't agree more.

 

Nice truck dude! I like your setup. Not tacky at all and not too expensive. How is the ride with the OEM springs? Do you notice a change in acceleration at all?

 

Loving how the grill came out! I usually hate chrome, but I think leaving the chrome Toyota emblem gives it a clean contrast! Did you use any glossifier top coats?

 

Ride is great. Although I never hammered on it before I lifted the truck, I think the acceleration is slightly less due to the tire size/weight. But it's not bad. Still glad I did it.

 

Thanks. I thought all black may be a bit much. That's why I left the emblem chrome. Figured I could always paint it later if I want. No glossifier or top coat. Just several coats of the matte black plastidip. Not sure how well it will hold up. Only time will tell. I've been thinking of buying an aftermarket grill in the future if the dip doesn't hold up.

 

BAMF

 

Decided on 275s thanks for the advice

 

Great choice. Can't wait to see them mounted up.

 

Do you have a link of where you bought your wheels?

Essentially you have to call Dustin at FN wheels to order them. Www.fnwheels.com
They are not on his website yet. He's a great guy. Bought the wheels I had on my 2012 taco build from him as well. Great product, pricing and customer service.

Hope that helps.

Thanks

Nice! Thank you for the info!

 

Stock upper control arms? How's the alignment?

 

yes, stock UCA's. Alignment is within spec (barely). Probably could benefit from aftermarket UCAs but it's driving fine for now so i'm focusing on other mods at the moment.

 

Very nice set up, love it!

Did you install the shocks yourself?

 

No. I paid a shop to install them.

Thx

I noticed the Deaver AAL from headstrong doesn't include new u-bolts, did your shop charge for new ones or did they use the stock ones?

 

so you only have 5100 shocks and Deafer AAL installed? everything else is stock? Just curious, how is the ride quality?
