Been doing just a little body work...

I'm also rockin 285-75/16's on tundra steelies lol.

If I didnt do 70+ mph around here I would get run off the road.

The tundra steelies look good? You got rid of the aluminum rims?

no I still got them. The offset is a problem for me. I live 10 miles off a gravel road. If it rains my truck is covered with gravel grime and dirt. So I took them off so my truck would stay clean. I deal with people everyday with my line of work. Appearance is a big thing and I don't wanna have to wash my truck everyday prior to going and giving estimates.

I'd sell them tho.

I know exactly what you mean, my tires stick way out and everytime i go offroad they sling sand or mud up all of my sides, not to mention on the windows, so my side windows have scratches all over them from rolling them up and down when dirty. Plus i give estimates too, most ppl around here dont care but every once in a while i get jobs at nicer houses. Ive thought about getting fender flares, but i love the way the truck looks with the wide stance...

Trick is to run about 4" of backspacing or so. Think my mickey thompsons class wheels with 265/75/16 (32's) are 4.25" backspaced and stick out maybe an inch.

im planning on keeping the steelies on and adding 1" spacers. Big maybe

2nd snow storm of the year. We have got a total of 6" as of right now but mores coming down. I'd like to see about 12" all together.

Thank you..

I got big plans coming soon.
1.5" BJ spacers
AAL in rear
All new shocks to make lift
Headers
Complete exhaust
1" wheel spacers keeping the tundra steelies I kinda like them
New tires??????? I'm sitting on 285/75/r16's I'm unsure what will clear once I do the lift. 315/75/r16 or 305/70/r16
Thinking of painting the truck Satin Black... Not Flat Black but Satin.. Any suggestions real paint not cans lol
Building front and rear bumpers

Hopefully I will have most of this done around Christmas if not New Years. I had a few jobs come my way today so we will see.

Any color other than black. Everyone does black. Can't stand it anymore lol. If you want dark colors. Go gray

Lol my 93 I painted grey. I dunno what I'm wanting just curious.

ToyoTech559

olive drab?

Toyota~Boy

thats a good choice. Wonder what a t100 would like olive drab? It may just pull it off lol

I haven't been on here much for the lack of motivation. This forum is dying or the members are disappearing.

Anyhow I have got some updates on the T100 but no pictures yet.

I have installed a 2" lift along with ProComp shocks. Diff drop too. I have also scored a set of ProComp 16" aluminum wheels wrapped in fairly new 245/75r16 grabber a/t tires. The lift looks good but the tires are much to small. I was running 33" tires before the lift and had absolutely no rub. So I'm thinking either 35" tires or 315/75r16 should fit under the truck now. What do you guys think? I have also started drawling blueprints to build a custom steel bed as well as front and rear bumpers. Can't wait for those. I will snap some pics tomorrow if the rain stops long enough. It's was 73 degrees here in WV today but it also rained all day. Suppose to be the same tomorrow.

Merry Christmas YotaTechers and happy new year.

i think people are still here. i know i read a lot of post but just dont comment lol plus its the holidays so i sure everyone is doing family stuff or in my case snow wheeling lol

^^ ditto, we're still here. Keep up the progress. We're anxiously awaiting pics. I've never been a fan of t100s til I found this site. Now the lil buggers are growing on me lol.

FinishThaGame

I think the holidays are a major facture as well. Ive been very busy with work myself, also i joined another forum called RabbitDogs.net for rabbit hunters, and im on there alot. Caint wait to see pics.

As far as the tire size goes, i think it all depends on what your gonna be doing with it and also if your gonna change the gears. I love my 35's, i would never go smaller!!!

Hey guys! I'm making a appearance here lol. Been awhile since I've checked in. I've got a new cell phone and number so I had to get it all set up to get back on here since I lack the ownership of a PC lol. Anyhow since I got a new phone I'll get some new pics of T up.

My latest update is I'm building a steel flatbed for the truck out of my new shop I've just opened this year. It's called LoneStar AutoRepair and Welding!

I've got all my measurements for the bed along with a material sheet. It's going to run me roughly $700.00 in material then my own time and labor. Here's a drawling of what I'm building.

Yes that's a fender flare that's you see on the side view. I will be using a Jeep CJ 5 rear fender flare for my bed side. It should keep me clean and look good with front flares on the truck.

What do you all think?
