The TRD wheels are my favorite Toyota OEM wheel. Spacers needed for these to fit the 100 series? I thought so, or others have machined out the center. Am I remembering this correctly? Center caps fit?
The start of Rapido's Build .....

I am planning to use 1.25" spacers from Slee - Might try them without just to see what the room is first.... but I think with the 305's that's about right.
The whole thing with spacers and the Rock Warrior wheels are because the front hub will not clear the center of the rim.
Come in handy driving on 59, 610 and 45 !!!!!
Don't forget 290!

The Rock Warriors are on along with new 305/70/17 Terra-Grappler 2's..... ended up going with a 1 inch spacer per Christo's guidance..... he was spot on - another .25" would've for sure meant fender contact....
Got the lift going on Tuesday - have to drive her carefully until then as it's a bit snug on the front end....
Very happy with the look and the RW's and new tires literally didn't need any weight on 3 of the 4 .... !! I had them re-spin them when I saw no weights and they are smooth as can be....
hoping to get the Slee group 31 batt kit and Dual battery in today and wired up......

Got all the suspension parts loaded up for dropoff tomorrow...... still need a few bushings, front timbrens
and the longer front Swaybar links are in the works.
really looking forward to getting it back Tuesday..... headed on a 3 day work roadtrip to Nola and baton Rouge Wed ..... perfect shakedown road trip

17" wheels allow for some great tire sizes for the 100. The 34s look just right.

got any pics of your Slee rear without swingouts ? debating doing something that has all the parts but that I cna run without the swingouts 90% of the time..... on my 80 series it really got annoying and I rarely need all my toys along...
wasn't aware Slee had an no swinout option - was debating 4x4 labs or BIOR...

Dropping her off this morning - the 305's are okay without the lift but I had to crank the TB's all the way.... ride was horrible. looking forward to picking her up tomorrow... I think with the lift this is about the optimal stance but we'll know for sure tomorrow

Go 4x4 labs if you want the most convenient! I built mine but I used his swing out parts. His has no pop pins and only one latch. It also uses gas struts to assist with opening and hold it open. It takes one hand and about 2 seconds to open and shut.
The last pic is without the swing outs and just the spindle.

Finally got her lifted...... unreal difference and it's a bit taller then expected but I'm loving it....
a few things still to sort out but about to put 800 miles on her ....
noted that I need to do swaybar bushings and brakes / lines
.... guess that's the next thing along with front bumpstops
I set the Icon's on 2 for the first s5 miles - and 5 the second..... liking the 5 setting for fast road, so planted feeling...... much like my 80 with the AVS/ Slee shocks but very happy that I did the adjusters..... 2 was very slinky feeling...

Not sure if the angle is weird but it looks like you can do without the rear spacers if theres no rubbing on the inside. Otherwise it looks real good. Coming along fast.
Looks great!

Looks great! Coming together really nice.
Congrats on the upgrades and the opportunity to take it out and enjoy them.
It might be worth the inconvenient access to put the zerks on the metaltech links facing up. They can get broken off if they are hanging down. A bit of creativity or a right angle grease fitting or adapter could make them more accessible in the upward position.
It looks like you sure treat your mechanic right with all those tasty beverages in the first pic.
