Ycart1201's 2016 Tacoma Build

I'm guessing they used the stock ones. They never said anything when I picked it up.

 

That is correct. 5100's using factory springs that came with the truck and Deaver AAL's in the rear. Ride is super nice. very similar to stock but just slightly firmer. No bump-steer or wandering like I experienced with my previous two lifted tacomas.

 

I think my taillights turned out great!!! Used the "backup light overlay sticker" from www.IMPORTequipment.com
It was a tough choice between red or light grey. I ultimately chose red. Here is a direct link if you want to see the other colors: http://www.importequipment.com/OnlineStore/product_info.php?products_id=308

 

How much of a lift did your setup give you? I'm thinking I want about 2" when it's all said and done. Getting the same truck as yours except long bed.......and those badass wheels!

 

1.75 front 1.5 rear. You can buy 1/4" spacers if u want the full 2" but it wasn't needed to clear 275 tires.
You won't be disappointed with the wheels. I love them.

 

I seriously love your truck, it's modded so cleanly

 

Thanks!

 

I couldn't resist and bought some red tail light overlays. Thanks for the suggestion!

 

Right on!!!

They are slightly wider but still 17" diameter.

 

Not sure. I know wider is better if you are installing bigger tires but probably not much of an advantage if you're keeping stock size tires.

 

I put factory size Wildpeak tires on mine, but they are a little wider, maybe a half inch or so. Wider does hurt mileage a bit because more friction due to size.

Load/weight of the tire is what kills mpg. I got these because factory are 35lbs each, these are 42lbs each and BFG KO2's were 52lbs I think. I've lost about 1 mpg and can tell some difference in performance off the line and on inclines it downshifts more. There's another size, like a 275/70 16 that's a little taller and a little wider, but it's a weird size and more expensive. In the end, I'm glad I went with the stock size verse a 265/75 16, even though they were a bit cheaper.

As far a wheel width, it'll just stretch out the factory size a little more. It shouldn't make the tire contact point wider, just the sidewall I think.

 

sub'd love that rim and tire setup. that's the exact combo I'm looking for. any new updates?

 

Thx.
It's been hard for me to find time to post pics here. My most current pics are on Instagram under username My_Yota_Obsession

 

I seriously dig your truck and may copy a few of your ideas !! Good looking truck you have there sir

 

Thank you!

How is that grill holding up?

 

Love the decal.. What color decal is that? and how did you get the outside of the circle lined as well? I don't see that option on the website.

 

I chose "silver" for the color and got them here: https://importequipment.com/products/tacoma-fj-4runner-toyota-trd-center-cap-decal-sticker-for-fx-pro-wheels

I just eye balled it for install. They come with a mostly clear transfer tape so it wasn't too hard to get centered.

Thanks,
Nathan
