Definitely. I didn't realize the ones I posted didn't do the tires justice. Gotta get some stance photos. This setup is badass. Taco....Complete.

how waterproof is your softtop?
Posted on 5/12/14 at 2:25 pm to Chad504boy
Damn near all the way with the windows on. I think due to my alignment on the bed it has an index finger size hole on the passenger side front, but I haven't noticed any water in there. I think if you seam sealed the inside it would be absolutely waterproof. As is, you can see light through some of stitching holes. No water or dripping yet though.

Work truck we just put on the Goodyear kevlr mt and they are awesome in the mud. Drive great on highway as well.

The top is by the company Bestop, the top is a Supertop, and they are sold online. I think I got mine from Morris 4x4 or something like that.
Here's where you figure out which one you need.

Fixing up my old Tacoma. Just replaced the ujoints and carrier bearing... which by the way, Advance Autoparts gave me the wrong bearing that I didn't notice until I tried to put it back on. Major pain in the arse.

Bump
I think I spotted this rig on I-10 East by the Jennings Exit Sunday afternoon, either way it was good looking.

Probably going to buy the plasti-dipped Jenna Jameson real doll at the sex shop

Not even, I was in BSL. Roof rack and Bestop with black wheels? Crazy, I've never seen a setup like it. That's most people's comment as well...
The only thing that's plasti dipped on my truck is the rear bumper, which Toyota sells in black on the lower models.
Truck still pulls after an alignment and a check, they say it 'crowns' though.

Same exact set up ...except I think it was black, I was heading westbound so I couldn't tell the type of wheels, not sure if they were steelies, but they were black as well.

I see your problem. Gumps fricking with LSU fans again....

i can fix your issue Gaston. Just because alignment is "in spec" does not help pull issues which are almost always tires btw. You need to push caster forward on the right wheel by one degree over the left side to correct and "drift" associated with alignment. Many alignment techs do not know this. All they know is what the Hunter machine tells em is in spec. This only applies to rear wheel drive vehicles.
Have you crossed the front tires to see if it starts pulling left yet? Are the tires directional?

Was it maybe an extended cab instead of a crew? My girlfiend's neighbor has a truck pretty similar to Gaston's but an extended cab. Let me see if I still have a pic.

you def. need to swap tires side to side, if you havent already.
If it still pulls to same side have alignment shop do as mj2 said a couple post up

I did swap the front tires...actually I had an alignment done and it was perfect...then I took it off-road to play with 4 Lo and see how dependent engagement was with 'driving straight'. I hit a few mud holes and bam, alignment fricked up again. Drove it 3 or 4 thousand miles on a big road trip and the fricker pulled like a bitch. Got back and had the tires rotated and alignment checked. They said in spec. Still pulls, albeit a bit better than with other fronts. I feel like these tires will do the same eventually. I bet I wacked out my caster angle.

Need right caster pushed one degree forward from the left side.
