just needed to drill new holes for some of the mounts

 

For which area? side end or headlight area? Planning on doing the same thing.

 

What did u have to trim for the rx8 wheels?

 

the lip on the inside that would hold the center caps

 

upgraded to 245 40 18 tires all around, and picked up a SR5 Steering column with tilt and intermittent wipers. still debating on keeping the 3 spoke steering wheel or putting on the other one i had on before.

 

Truck looks sweet rolling down the street....those rims look sick on that body style...time to go for a mini meet now!!!!

 

Added 38mm wheel adapters, truck looks sweet!!! will post pics in the day time.

 

Before:

After:

what a difference 38mm make



I now have to roll the inter tabs of the fenders and get the front center caps.

Adapters have the Toyota oem counter sunk open end nuts, and the longer 4wd wheel studs. no vibration at all.

 

very nice! I may be putting my 31.75mm/1.25" spacers on my truck.

It does make the truck look like it's not going to tip over it's own wheels, right?

 

Yup, its more noticeable when cornering. I like it.

 

I love how it made the truck sit wider. I remember when I put the spacers on my truck with the stock 14's. Gawd, it made it feel sooooooooo much more confident and stable!

 

Truck now has a 8" diff out back, brand new cylinder head complete with new valves, springs and cam. also did the Hanger leaf mod. shes now 4.25" or 4.5" in the back tucking tire depending where you measure it from, lol sitting dropped & level, she looks the front is still at 3" with no people but drops about a inch when i get in, lol More power and better gas milage and sitting lower

 

What a tease w/o photos..sounds great though.

Cylinder head is to OE spec. I did not upgrade because the smog tests in Cali suck but the truck is
