My 79 in progress. Decided away from the original 15" wheel, tried a offset wheel to go larger and get away from leaf spring rub and didn't like those at all.

Settled with what I had and only spacers in the back. Love this ride and height. Tire is a Toyo MT LT265/70R17

Also, very very pleased with the results of the Tailgate Logo kit from James Dean Creations. Great quality, turned out pimp.....

Thank you!!

Ya know, not sure I would even call what I used a true spacer. Its just a real thin plate, (still uses stock studs) just enough to kick that Tacoma wheel out in the back to miss the leaf on the inside.

I was thinking of getting the same logos for the gate. Are they pretty thick and sturdy feeling?
do you apply them with soapy water to get it just right or do they stick right when you touch it to the metal?

Yes they are, and of decent quality. I cut each letter out individually, used that soapy water mixture he recommends, worked each letter into position, let sit for a minute or 2, then work all the moister out with his provided tool...... Im impressed with how well it turned out.

A tad on the high $$ price side, but I wanted it right, and wasn't comfortable using anyones else's to be honest....

It looks good! Are those tires 14.50 wide or are you running wheel spacers?
