Looks great! You are breathing new life into that thing!

So are those tire equivalent to 35x10s???

I love the idea of no/low lift on big tires! Subscribed.

So you are running 35x12.50s on stock wheels and 1.5" suspension lift and 1" of BL?....and a little fender trimming. Wow. That rocks!

Would you still be ok if those were on 8" wide rims with 3.75" of backspacing?

Looking good.

Would be better with 8" rims with 3.75 backspace. I am adding a set of 1.5 wheel spacers tommorow to keep the tires off the steering box and idler arm. I used the wheels because I had them, I am working on a fixed budget!

I know what you mean!! Wheels aren't cheap. I wasn't sure if you were just using what you had or preferred the look of the factory alloys....which do look nice.

My plan is to run 33x10.50s on 8" wheels and a 1" BL (already installed the BL). That should give me plenty of room. But after seeing what you've done I interested in running 35s. Not sure if my 95 pickup has less room than your T100, but I can't be by much.

You've done a great job so far and seemed to spent money wisely. I love bang for the buck build ups.

Spacers did the trick, no rubbing on the steering box or idler arm. Han my shop balance tires and do an alignment. Drove on the highway at 70mph no vibes, straight and true! I am very happy with the ride as well. Shopping for lockers and gears. Hope to go wheeling at the farm this weekend!

Looks great. I like the T-100's. There are a few nice lifted ones around here. Good work on yours. Enjoy the parts!

Quick up date- Been working on the interior a lot. Replacing parts that were just worn out/not working. Mounted a CB under the radio, full size Uniden with weather stations. Antenna mount on bed on drivers side.

Funny story- Scored some Tundra power leather seats on E Bay! Started to mount them and had to find the power leads for the motors. No problem, ran a lead and a ground and started testing the wires on the seats. (the plugs were cut so this took some time)


Working on the pass seat first, third wire I tried........................BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seats had side airbags! Key word HAD, I blew out the side of the seat, should be able to re sew it, but wow that will wake you up, and gather the neighbors!
