Shiny Brand new 1st Gen Jarhead here!

Hey y'all!

I live near Austin Texas and just test drove my soon-to-be 1st generation 1 tundra!

I'm wasting no time planning the upgrades and focusing on the timing belt replacement but wanted your advice. I see these Tacoma Wheels from a 2023 TRD and thinking these look great and I just need to buy some spacers to make them.work.

Do you guys think this is a good deal for my first upgrade?

Except.... I'm such a newbie I don't know how to add my pictures.

 

The tires only have 4,000 miles on them and he's asking $2k. They are 265/75R17

getting those Tacoma wheels and tires later today! I ordered some Spidertrax spacers to make sure they align properly since they have different hub size. Wheels and tires for $1800.

 

Do you need spacers or hub rings

 

That sounds like a great deal for rims with the BFG's. I've heard good things about the KO'3's from a couple of people currently running them. Figure out the picture posting so we can see how it looks.

 

I haven't heard of hub rings, I just ordered the spidertrax spacers 1" #WHS036K

Some things to inspect and ensure they are up to date maintenance wise before I would go down the modding rabbit hole and spend all your money. LBJs and TBs are high priority items. Frame rust eval before getting to deep to make sure your truck is worth it all.

 

Frame is good with just slight surface rust. I need to find correct method for eval on ball joints. Timing belt will be my first gen baptism...2 quotes I got were $2000+. I'm doing it myself to have more money for other things.

 

wow, thought I had done enough research but couldn't get the wheels on today. I thought I had seen that Tundra lug studs were 14mm but mine are 12. Then it seems my wheel spacers were wrong too even tho I swear I had correct part the first time. Working on an exchange with Summit Racing as the spacers I got are too small for the Tundra hub.

Stay tuned friends, I was so excited when we almost had these wheels on the truck.....can't wait to get it figured out.

 

They fit great! Now I can't wait to get my leveling kit installed and it will look really good then.
