Nippy, your truck looks amazing! I love the way it looks with that drop. Makes me wonder what a black crewmax with 26's would look like. Oh by the way, don't pay any attention to the haters. I've noticed a lot of tundra owners, both 1 and 2nd gen. are against lowering and putting big rims on them but to each their own I like to say! great truck!

So many people throw the low profile tires on and don't lower. It looks so much better lowered. The huge gap just kills the look of the new rims and tires.

Actually looks pretty sharp. Wheels are huge, maybe a good candidate for a big brake upgrade????? Collor matched calipers. Maybe take off the vinyl between the winders??

Great looking truck, I say color match the headlights, bumpers and trim; then get rid of the steps.

How harsh are the tires?

Truck looks MUCH better with the new mirrors. What do you think about painting the mirrors and door handles to match the truck ???? As I said, I'm not a big fan of that style, but yours looks HOT !!!!!!!!!

I'll go one step further. Your truck looks sharp and what could be real stylin' would be to color match the rims with your truck (if possible). Part of the rims could be color coded. This is in addition to the mirrors and door handles.

Truck looks outstanding! I think you just convinced me to go w/ the SOS drop. How do you like it so far?

I personaly would not do that to my truck. (we don't lower in Idaho. we lift) It does not mean that the truck is ugly. As far as the negativity on this site. Why would you want to lie to someone just to make them feel good. My dad always told me to stand tall, say whats on your mind and if you step on someones tows, so be it. Sometimes the truth "KILLS".

I'm not into the ghetto hip hop look, but it does look nice especially with the drop.

Wondering why you went with the SOS kit instead of the Mcgaughys' kit? The cost is higher, can't go lower than what you have now with SOS stuff. I know if you dont plan on going any lower, this kit is fine. I have always been one to lower a truck, then lower it some more and so on. Mcgaughys is coming out with spindles in the new year, and if you can show a receipt or a po# from the first 2/5 drop, they will sell you the spindles as a single item and price it that way. If you ever want to go lower than what you have now, you will have to scrap the kit you have now and buy a whole new kit. I installed a SOS kit on an x-runner not long ago, and it was crap. the u-bolts stripped, the front perch system just did not seem as strong or secure as a new set of R&Ded front springs would seem to be. Mcgaughys has been around for years and they have a good name. Of course this is all my opinion only!! Your truck looks bad-***. 26s' on a dropped tundra is awesome. I on the other hand am going for a tucked look, so i will need more drop. Keep up the good work, cant wait to see what you do next
