    They're angled at your order.

    streetacos.com is the site, if I'm correct.

    I ran 205/75/14's fine on my stock steelies at my drop.

    hammer out the pinch welds in your front wheel wells. I think that's where your tires are rubbing.
    Hammer them from the inside towards the outside.

    man i already tried that... it made it ALOT better than it was but it's still scraping and that's that **** i don't like. :duh:
    there's more i can try to hammer in but i don't think it'll do much good. i beat it in like exactly where that circle on that pic ^^ is at and then around it more. i'ma be doing some work on it after i get outta school monday seeing as i don't work that day(weather providing, it's storming here tonight and i think it's supposed to last til like wednesday.) i got my lights in the mail yesterday, that's my plan for monday though. i got my shift knob in today and it's already in. i think it looks hella cool:waytogo:
    i'll put up some pics tomorrow of the stuff i got and i'll also put up pics of the finished product when i get it done. ordering my chrome grill and chrome YOTA emblem not this coming monday but the one after. getting the clear corners and markers then too.
    ^^SCRUB88- man thanks bro, but i found some stuff that works freaking miracles!! it's called never-dull, can't think of the manufacturer name right off the top of my head but it's in a little silver tin can. it's like a wadding polish and it work wonders on my wheels, the difference between before and after is like day to night.
    on a side note, when i ordered my headlights i didn't realize that the headlight assembly came with bulbs already and i bought some more online that i got the other day. man i paid like $6 or $7 shipped from ebay. if someone wants them, they're H4 xexon bulbs and i bet they gonna be hella bright. the same bulbs came in the headlight assembly. if someone wants them, PM me and pay shipping and they're yours!!:waytogo:

    Finally some day time shots...looks good. I didnt even realize u had a smitty built rear bumper. Are your corner lights and signals switched? It looks like the corners are off n the signals are on.

    corners are burnt lol and when i pulled over there was a car a ways behind me so i had my hazards on lol that's a good idea though, i may look into that. my head lights have the "day time running lights" built into them and i wanna hook them up but not sure if i wanna run them with the signal lights or the corner lights

    no mas bumper, rolling without it now and i think it looks alot better. fixing to get an exhaust system on her, soon hopefully. tomorrow, i'm re-keying my torsions and i'm also going to relax my leaf springs in the back, possibly taking out the middle leaf too. pics soon!

    um... stock height bro you're gonna have to take some measurements of the ride height and go like that. this body style trucks stock ride height with the 195/70R14's is 10.25" or so measured from the cross member that runs between the LCA's. SD Yota had a thread on here about re-keying the torsions, you could do it that way too but it'd be easier just to crank them back up.

    and thanks man, I like it alot better w/out the bumper I think it looks alot better. hey man are you on facebook? there's a group on there called Toyota minitrucks and there are a bunch of people from here on there you outta check it out. I been on there more than on here recently really, just easier to upload pics and stuff to FB lol man my phone number is 405-543-5159 get at me bro!
