Haha I'm just ****in with you man. I'm almost 6'4" I feel your pain everyone makes fun of me cause i drive a mini
Any of the quick release hubs should fit your truck, they are all a universal fit, I,m not aware of any that are splined for specific applications. NRG makes several different styles, the paddle lever style or pull ring ones add about 3 to 31/2" length moving the wheel closer to you. They also make a short version that has a twist ring, personally I don't care for those, hard to align the wheel and turn. I run a Tekniq street version on my rig, has a double pull knob plus its keyed so you can lock the wheel on, works fine and its only about an inch thick. You need to use an adapter hub like you would use for any custom wheel application, then depending on the hub and bolt count and size,, you can either bolt the quick release directly to the hub or use an adapter plate, plus the wheel has to have the correct bolt count and size to fit the Q/R, most use the Momo, Sparco 6 hole bolt pattern. No need to weld a race style on unless your not concerned with looks, horn, turn signal cancel, or being able to remove anything from the column at a later date.
^ yea, look for them for toyotas in general. most toyotas have the same shaft spline. there's at least two people on here who have OE supra wheels on their trucks on this site. smaller non-release wheel is on my shopping list when I finally find a job (going to school so not a huge huge issue...yet). I'm 6-4 and my problem is more knee space while driving the std cab Guess who had to work on all the fiats, miatas, and minis at the shop I used to work at just so everyone else could watch...
Ok thanks nook I was trying to look up spline sizes last night but I couldn't find anything and how does that teqnik work for you I was thinking about that one because it has a key but I like the low pro of the nrg.
The Tekniq Q/R works great, nice and tight, actually its about as low profile as you can find, the NRG is about 3.5" the slim NRG is about 1.5", the Tekniq is right at 1". The key option is fine, use the key to unlock to remove the wheel, don't need it to put the wheel back on, that way someone can't reach in and pop the wheel off without the key. The Tekniq is a bit spendy but nice quality.
dude I do a full running start and jump in the air. mid aerial I do a 360* twist and left hand grabs the interior door handle. aim the legs for the floorboard and as they reach it, the right hand gets the keys into the ignition. upon sitting down, at the end of the intense aerial, i turn the key to start the truck.
I spent last night trying to find the key size, but I can not find anything, what do you think teqnik work for you, I considered this one of the issues, because it has a key, but I like the low pro-NRG.
Sorry, guess I,m just not clear on what your asking? the key size is just a standard barrel key, yes, the Tekniq worked for me, whats the issue because it has a key? it locks on so someone can't reach in and pop the wheel off or you can't accidently pop it off while driving. The NRG thin version is fine, I just personally didn't like the twist action to install and remove the wheel. Also some of the thin models, you have to watch the steering shaft length, the shaft may stick out too far needing a spacer to install the unit.
