SooRunner's Project...Enjoy!

[SooRunner]

Holy heck it has been a while since an update! Get that Ucon in and running yet?

UCON has been installed but didnt drive the truck yet but the truck starts ...its been sitting in the garage since I bought is300 from my bro as a daily driver...couldn't pass it up the deal since I know the history of the 2004 is300...original owner, 60k miles, no accident, just need clutch and timing belt job done...now I want to start on this project....trying to go turbo! :blurock:

So much to do on the x, still have coupe's y-pipe and oil pan to install, urd mk2 exhaust on the way since my current mk1 muffler sounds like it has rocks in it or something...need 2 aem wideband for y pipe...want XII front coilover when it releases, want to replace my composite leaf springs with the steel ones, I repainted the whole truck and now want to clear bra it so rock chips don't chip up the front end...list goes on and on...:ahhhhh:but one day you might see my truck on truck of the month on this site I hope :biggrin:.

By the way torspd...i haven't been keeping up with your build cuz I'm not going to browse thru 214 pages....but I'm sure you have one hell of a beast!!

Truck looks good man... Bet it handles beast too..

Thanks for the compliment...doesn't handle too well since it's been sitting in the garage LOL! But it should handle like a beast!

 

[Torspd]

Start at the last page. Waaaaay easier. Lol

And you've got yourself a laundry list there. Better get to it.

I don't think i'm running stretched tires...just two different size for front and rear...going against factory settings. 275 in rear and 255 in front, 19inch rims...i forgot what offset tho...

(I'm thinking stretched as those jdm guys low and slow?)

 

[Toon714]

Im a jdm guy with aggressive offset wheels and stretch tires for my 240.
Its all about fitment yo! :top:

Fitment is correct sir!

 

[Clifford]

I'm about proper fitment as well, but also about proper tire fitment, your tires are not squared on your rims. I know, I'm also running stretched 275's on a 10.5 inch rim. Just curious is all. Truck is super clean.

Thanks...Stock wheels are not going to hold down the power I have therefore upgraded to akward wheel size. :top: You too have an awesome build Clifford! I agree on your profile "money pit" hhahah! FML!

 

[Clifford]

Sigh, you missed what I'm saying. Where is Grumpy when I need him.

 

[Ccaruolo]

10.5 inch rim needs more 305s

You know the Tacoma is only made/ sold in North America..... if it's anywhere else in the world it's because it was imported...

Also when talking taking tire stretch the diameter of the rim is not as important as the width.....

 

[Kale808]

Truck looks awesome! Lovin that intercooler bro

 

[NUPEPRIME]
