That's the best I've seen someone explain the SPC adjustment. I need to flip mine but have been a bit intimidated to screw up my alignment, but that made it easy to understand And definitely time for a CMC if I were you. Stuffed and turned it'll definitely rub
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching - i understand the video is really long, I do have the CMC done (3:52). You can also probably tell by the shape of the cabin mount from underneath (12:47), I also had some final thoughts on the rubbing as well (16:45). Also, check out my wheel alignment at home video, that will make alignment a lot less intimidating
@@KFloTacoma I missed the part about already having a CMC, so maybe time for a more aggressive CMC! I've watched your videos on at home alignment, unfortunately I have a gravel driveway and that would be dang near impossible I think. However, I am going to flip my SPC tabs to get me more space. I'm only on 33s and I've had to cut almost all the plastic and it still hits occasionally. Any harm in just flipping the plate and eyeballing where it was in relation to camber?
If you flip it around, your camber - you can kinda eyeball BUT the toe will be completely out of whack and you may have major toe out which will cause weird steering and excessive tire wear. You can probably ask your local alignment shop to change the setting on the SPC and have them align at the same time.
I used to have general grabbers (red letters) mud terrains on my taco and boy…. Every time it rained or snowed I felt like I was on skates! I have 4:10 gears too and it was not a fun time unless it was in the dirt. Happy to have general grabber at2’s now, still slide a bit but I need to add weight in the bed.
Thanks for sharing your experience, bro. My brother was always extra hesitant driving in inclement weather with his MTs. He said he's definitely switching to ATs after his current set wears out
Hey bro I have the OME BP51 coilovers, 20mm preload, gives me about 2.5 to 3in lift. I'm thinking about getting the ARB bumper. How much ride height will I lose with this bumper? How much did you lose?
The stealth Custom Series is gorgeous, but I think these Rocktrix were much more within my budget since I was buying 5 of them. I'm not using spacers with these as I do have the proper off set with these new wheels (18:40)
@@KFloTacoma my bad, missed ya saying that and I thought you used to be running with spacers….! Sometimes you just got to save up… I bought my 5 SCS F5’s when I upgraded too (Same color as you went with more or less/ great color!)
Cool beans! Have you considered solid axle up front? May be about same cost as your other options… I have MT (33’s) and they are noisy, my next set will also be AT. However I’ll stay with 33’s, I have a single cab 2.7L 🤷🏼♂️
LOL I was looking into them, it will be a possible consideration for a future mod. A lot of money definitely and I'm a bit more budget conscious than a lot of these automotive youtubers
Hey bro to answer your question, when I regeared to 4.88, I took going to 35's and the weight of the camper into account. Typically, when you have a manual transmission (like mine), 4.56 is very popular combo with 35's but since my setup is heavier, I went higher with 4.88. The next video will be a speed analysis video which lays out the varying speeds at different gearing and tire sizes
Or, you could not care what rubs at full lock and just slap em on anyway. Follow me for more terrible tips on how to ruin your stuff faster like I do. On a serious note, also check Solomotorsports for their LT kit, it's a little different than Marlin, but about the same cost. Also, for 35s, both are likely overkill. I do wish I had done either kit before I did the 39s but whatchagonnadonow
LOL yea, I'm keeping those wheels and tires on there regardless. I'll definitely have to join you on one of your trips 🤘 - those 39's look great btw. There's definitely a shit ton of options out there and I'll definitely have to do some more research but that Solomotorsports look like a solid choice as well
@@KFloTacoma yeah brutha lets wheel it!!! the good thing about the marlin/solo is they come with an upgraded steering rack, I am putting the solo version in next week. the 39s are so stupid I cant believe how awesome they are. I am also installing a 1 ton rear from ECGS next month to deal with the stress those tires are so, uh. yeah. thank you for that compliment!
@@KFloTacoma I did watch it but forgot what you went with. Going with 4.56 in my 2015 4WD auto Tacoma next week. I decided to go to a gear shop vs ECGS and doing it myself. It came out the same price as the gear shop.
FIrst time someone has explained how SPC works in a way that i can visually see, and understand.
I'm glad my explanation makes sense!

Dude you deserve so much more subs. You have the best second gen videos!
Glad you think so! I appreciate that. I wish I had more subs too! lol
Here's the link to the materials:
SPC UCA's: amzn.to/2XvOynG
Rocktrix Wheels: amzn.to/3B1Yv9T
Awesome truck. I do love the stock wheels too. I have the same ones.
Thanks 👍

Why not Stealth Custom Series wheels?
Also, why not go with a proper offset and ditch the (not recommended by anyone) wheel spacers?

Yea, I think ATs are def the way to go if you do more road driving/long driving.
Look at JD fabrication Lower pivot kit
By the laws of mathematics and rounding 34.4 rounds down to 34 not up to 35.
They look so good, I can see why you creamed your pants
I do that every time I look at this setup 😬
Youre still gonna rub when you wheel tho right? Full compression
Nvm you said it at the end. Looks goood!
Yessir, I'll cross that bridge of mods when I do more crawling trips
Are you going to need to regear again?
@Of mice and men I think you should read your comment again

@@KFloTacoma Thank you looking forward to it
@Of mice and men Yeah but did he use regear grease for his additional regear to his previous regear
Yea, I'll probably do a separate video on MPG analysis - I'll definitely put one together though

What gear ratio are you running?
I run 4.88 I also have manual transmission. I would advise to watch my regear 101 video by the way

hey brother, I sub'd Love the videos and I hope it takes off for you!
Thanks for the sub! I appreciate it and I wish it takes off too!
