^what he asked. lol, dang those are nice rims man. They look just evil.

 

looks sic dogg

 

More pics please!! Look soo siick now, its not super low but its set up perfect!!!

 

Hey man I thought I'd let u kno that I checked ur truck out at the Bobazone meet(I had the green yota truck u were checking out) I noticed that ur pass side frame where u welded ur notch is broken. I could clearly see where it had separated. Thought I'd let ya kno incase u didn't kno about it. Truck looks good otherwise.

 

Trucks lookin good man how did you do at autox .

 

I like the way your front end is painted! Good looking truck!

 

Thanks man I didn't really get a minute to walk around and talk to many. I hope you enjoyed hanging out here!

Yeah, I need to catch my friend and borrow his welder again :/



Thanks everyone! Yeah, I really like how it looks.

I'm running 265/35/18's all 4 corners with 18x10 +22mm, perfect.
Talk about assloads of grip.
The Autocross was pretty good, I needed a degree or two of camber and zero toe to take advantage of my tires. Swaybars are needed.
I ran a 68 second lap with a passenger, my fastest.

There were 200-400hp cars* with nice ass tires running 65 second laps, so i felt like I was doing well

 

Throw the spacers back on there and i'll love you... more

 

Great looking truck, dude. I love that rising sun hood.

 

LOL Ashton, I've been considering doing that for a while. I may throw them on just because. The fronts need it. I hate how the track in the front of our trucks are narrow from the factory.

Thanks hazard! I may throw the red hood to see how my truck looks again.

 

Hot Dayum that's nice man!!! any rubbing at all? Hows the steering lock to lock? i might have missed it but whats the brand of the rims?

 

DCUPS! Thanks. The ONLY rubbing I got from the wheels were them rubbing on the strut bar at full lock. aside from that, no other rubbing existed (top of wheel well had a bolt sticking through, BFH'ing it today).
American Muscle Deep Dish FR500 Black Machined 18x10's.

I just bolted up my 1.25" spacers to my truck... The truck's fenders were already garbage to start with, so I just didn't give a **** and just went to hell with it. The front fenders rolled really well. The rears were a pain in the ass since they were already tucking tire. I didn't care how it turned out since I'll be getting overfenders sometime.
I'm currently rubbing at the pinch welds and where the stock battery used to sit (that fender apron). The rear fenders I tried to roll as much as I can. My left bedside had a little crack (I cut off some material a year ago that I shouldn't have.)

This is just the front last night around 2-3AM. Didn't finish til 4:30AM. Still have more work to do on it.


The rear before I rolled and pulled the silly **** out of them!


I won't post a closeup of the rear fenders because some of you might have a heart attack lol.
Here's the truck now




Oh yeah, don't forget the window visors I threw on. Apparently that plastic triangle on the front of the doors gets unbolted and put over the visor's leading edge. I haven't done that yet. Plus I want to trim the visors so i can pop my vent windows open :/

 

Man that looks sick. What are you going to do about the pinch welds? I'm rubbing on there too. I hammered the crap out of it but it's still rubbing.

 

I'm taking my truck onto a lift today. I'm asking for an even bigger hammer :/

I have a little bit of travel up front. The only time I rub the pinch welds is when i turn. Is that happening to yours?

 

It rubs on uneven roads. Rubs constantly when the wheel is turned. What's the offset on those again?

 

Mine are +22mm. They're now -9.75mm due to my spacers. This is 10" width wheels too.

I beat the pinch welds as much as i could today. it helped a little bit. I have trimmed bumpstops in the front, only so that my tires don't smash into my wheel wells and rub all the time (stock suspension is relatively soft and squishy).

 

Yeah soft. Wish we had bolt on coilovers like cars.

 

Nam it looks like you need to tub the front or just cut out the fenders completely.... I contemplating doing this but i need fenders as i dont want the motor to get all dirty...

 

I'd like to tub the front :/
I at least will be moving the truck to Cali soon, the only thing I'll deal with is rain in NorCal (for the most part).
I beat the wheel wells some more when i got the truck on the lift, I can turn much more without rubbing until i get closer to lock.

I need DJM LCA's, Mk3 Supra spindles, and sway bar for the front.

I'm looking at the 350Z or SC300 IRS right now. I think it'd be so much easier to find parts from either chassis. The way the 350Z IRS looks, it seems as if I can save a lot of space and still be able to use the best of my bed.

I want to do more with the front of the truck... IFS swap, maybe?

I'd like for the truck to sit even lower and wider, while retaining functionality. I know lowered cars on coilovers have a stiffer suspension (none of that weight transfer and endless rubbing and scraping). Fenders that open up higher and wider... There's so much I want to do.
