    Stick a pipe or his handy dandy baseball bat in by the tire and roll-ing it. People here usually do it when tires rub or they need more clearance

    Hes talking about the bottom part by the wheelwell. It sorta curves out. I guess on the taco it doesnt.

    actually the taco fender, it looks flat but its flared out, just the shape is different, its a lot smoother on the taco than it is on the PU

    me personally i like the look of the flare on our trucks, especially when its painted nice. Makes the lines real defining

    Just searching everywhere for parts. Been a long night...

    Will be checking e-brake and stuff tomorrow... and then take pics..

    Man, i'm in real need of sleep... so much has just occured...


    i was in a locked up counter steer towards a fire hydrant.. why didn't i left off the brakes?!?!?!

    gawh.. driver failures... I guess... I've been drifting perfectly all winter in teh damn snow with teh same baldass tire setup and learned about the truck's suspension dynamics and right when i needed to use my skills and knowledge, I blanked out and hit a hydrant...

    I'm sorry for ranting out so much...

    To learn more about these trucks, you will need to have alot of experience in oversteer with these trucks. the way these trucks slide out and want to maneuver themselves is very unique. they have this special feeling to them. You gotta be careful too....

    as you slide.... More gas = more angle.. more steer = more snap back.. wheels pointed left while locked up means truck goes right... wheels pointed right while locked up means truck goes left...

    and the hardest thing about driving these trucks... Snap oversteer.....


    :sigh: How's it going for you man?
