Here is my 1996 Toyota Tacoma 2WD winter beater truck. I found out that I could put my 2005 350z Touring Wheels on my Taco since they had the same bolt pattern but the centerbore was 1mm off (Taco: 66.06mm; 350z: 67.06mm). So I talked to John from the Ye Ole Wheel shop and he agreed that he could do it. They look awesome and the fitment is perfect. I think I just need a front wheel alignment then everything will be fine. You should have seen this truck about 3 months ago. I got hit by a Ford F-350 dualie and it destroyed the whole driver's side of my truck. I had to get a new door, front fender and a lot of body work. Since I needed a winter beater I bought this truck off my Dad and had someone fix and repaint the whole truck. I am so happy with the results. Now I just have to lower it another inch in the front and 2 more inches in the rear for a total of 3"/4" and then to get that TRD Supercharger! Check the pics!

 

Doesn't look too bad at all, but with 2WD and the Potenzas I don't think you'll be going very far in any significant amount of snow... You need some blizzaks or 4WD for that thing to really be a "winter beater".

 

I agree with Sikk.. your gonna be sliding ALL over the place. I'd also advise pitting some sand bags in the bed. I used to have a old Toyota truck, about 300 pounds ( 6 fifty pound bags ) right over the diff. should help allot

Here are some shots of the old beater:






Best PS Evarrrrr!

 

No way! That is awesome

 

LOL Mike, damn you ***** that pic out more than your Z! LOL! Cant believe people still think its real too =)

 

LOL... hey now Nowell... shhhhhhh....

Oh and Chris.. Your Taco... looks HAWT!

 

Well if it's a photochop it's a pretty good one...it got me lol. I've seen a LT-1 out of a Camaro SS swapped into a S10 swap so anything is possible. I was wondering how he's getting traction with those worn out Sears Michelin LT-4 tires.

 

Yea its a chop, Mike spend weeks of his life doing that chop instead of doing body kits on my Z like hes supposed to!

 

It's probably a cheaper hobbie.

 

LOL.. THat Chop litterally took me 20 minutes

 

Well 20 minute up my Weber kit! I want to see what it looks like =)

 

No license plate, good luck with that.

 

I run without a front plate on my Z. Its usually hit or miss. I only get hassled if they are going to f*ck me anyway, otherwise they ignore it.

 

how much is a ticket for no front plate anyway?

 

I want to say around 80 to FFX. They are my Kryptonite anyway.

 

FFX is EVERYONES Krytonite!

 

I dont have a front plate mount or a front plate. I've been pulled over many times for speeding and cop never said anything. Maybe the law is different in Texas.

 

That it is sir.. VA is the suck.

 

That looks good Chris! Glad YOWS took care of you, and Im still amazed you drove the wheels up to MD after that crazy night at the hotel...

 

Thanks Bert. John and Dan Jr were good people to work with. Yeah I was crazy to drive up after that grewsome night....
