Haven't been here for a long while. I thought I was gonna sell this bad boy but when it comes time to let it go for some reason I always change my mind. Attempted to sell it twice but failed at it. This buddy of mine has been with me through thick and thin. http://<a href="http://s27.photobucket.com/user/gixboi/media/Pickup/IMAG1369_zpscee01095.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c175/gixboi/Pickup/IMAG1369_zpscee01095.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo IMAG1369_zpscee01095.jpg"/></a>

Hey what's up.. yeah, I got started with the a new head and timing chain last year.. Engine Builder 22RE parts galore...
wow great work on the starion wheel.They turned out killer. You have 16x8 all they around? also what tire size did you go with?
Hey, thanks.. Yeah they are 16x7 fronts and 16x8 rears. I will be lowering the truck properly and just ordered some drop items for my project next week and I will be changing tire sizes. I currently have 205/55/16 fronts and 225/50/16 rears. I got 2" spindles, 3" blocks. Will be going with a bj flip up front. Also got some spring helpers so when I load or haul stuff it wont sag. I will be going smaller on the tires down to 205/50 fronts and 215/50 rears and have to roll the fenders or something because they will rub.
and also did the front lower valance.. painted it and added the home depot lip.. and also relocated the license plate..
great info. I want to run 225/50/16 on the 4 16x8 i have. Drop setup right now is 2 drop spindles and 1ton t-bars turned down about an inch, rear is 3" drop leafs w/ air shocks. Right now on 17" cobra wheesl and run 225/45/17 and no issues.
The 225/50 16x8's seem to stick out a lot in the rear. That's why I will be going down sizes. I actually have another pair of 16x8's that I'm keeping around should I decide to go with the 4wd front fenders. I wanted to do more work but I got distracted by my warm weather priority..
Thanks man.. yup it wont go no where anymore.. I've made up my mind to keep this toy.. You need one of these if you have a house. But I really hate the popularity that comes with it. You seem to become very popular with friends and families when you have a pickup truck! I really hate that .. LOL.. But I really need more ponies and have been reading up a lot of options. I need A/C and don't really wanna bother with the hassles of intercooler space with the front bumper running 7M's, 1JZ's or 2JZ's. So I'm definitely doing a 1UZFE swap sometime next year .. Might do the actual swap myself and then have someone else do the wiring because I suck at the wiring.. Anywayzzzz, till next week!
I ended up dropping it this past weekend. Did spindles, bj flip, 3 inch blocks. I dont even know how much the front dropped cuz man that damn front wheel was rubbing like crazy.. almost tore up my tires.. yikes... My silly self forgot that I already crank the torsions a little bit but not much. I even cut the bump stops.. It was a horrible experience to sum it up.. And the shocks I got were softies.. they were cheap at $9 a pop (Belltech Nitro) I thought it was worth a try.. will be posting more pics later..
truck looks great man. looks verrry similar to mine before i redid a bunch of things. i dont have any updated pics yet but im 16x8 all the way around chrome 4runner bumper and chrome grill and corners. just bought a set of 18" bbs lm reps for when it goes under the knife yet again this winter
