i'm just sayin'...

and 15s probably will not but you would need to fit them to be sure. on some rimes you can get away with grinding the rear caliper.

I'm going to maintain the Tacoma anyhow. And this way, it is an excuse to build it into a better driving and more capable rig, at a fairly marginal cost. All labor would be done by myself, over the next month's weekends. Fairly basic  wrenching.
I'm not in a super hurry to flip the 80. Its costing me a little in insurance money, but otherwise its just taking up garage space.
What bothers me is not getting the use out of the tires that are on my 80 now. I have some kind of weird emotional attachment to those 33" tires, and feel like if I sell the truck with them I'll be losing my soul or something. 
If I don't put the 33's on the Tacoma now, there is a good chance that I won't be able to do it for years, if ever. Taking advantage of the opportunity to get the nicer tires without having to dish out major coin is highly appealing.

Plus I would really enjoy having my Tacoma a little more 4x4 capable. And I'd really like to do some wrenching on it...
If I can pick up some Tundra rims and tires like the ones linked above...then I could get right on selling the 80 right away, and I'd have that cash to play with too...

Then again...
maybe this is all too much of a pain in the ass and I should just forget it and unload the 80 as is.

Hey,
I don't know if you have seen or heard this, but there is this British car show that did this piece on a Toyota truck.
Absolutely amazing what they did. 
They abused the hell out of that truck and it just wouldn't die.
I'll pull up a link for you guys in a minute when I have a mo'.

Unless you wanted to fork over your wheels too...I don't think its gonna happen. And if I don't sell the 80 before then the wifey will likely kill me anyhow.

Digging the trenches for the mainlines sucks, but they are a piece of cake to put in.

Yes, just a 3" spacer lift. Didn't turn out too bad. He loves it, says it handles the same as before.
Don't know about fitting in a tacoma, I know the lift was for the FJC/4Runner.
