My gas guzzlin Yota

[Daniel Day]

I don't have a Stang at the moment so I figured I'd share my kid hauler/grocery getter. I sold the Fusion(sick of driving a small car everyday) a few months back and got my wife a Yukon so I in turn got her old Sequoia. It's an 01 SR5 w 140k miles. We bought it from the original owner a few years ago and I absolutely love it. I know it's not a Stang but I thought you guys might still appreciate an old Yota! I hated the stock 16" fan blade wheels so I picked up a set of 17" Limited wheels on CL as well as a set of 33" Goodyear MTRs. I sanded, primed and painted the wheels(also plasti-dipped all of the chrome emblems), got the tires mounted and went ahead and threw them on the truck. They fit but they were stuffed pretty good and actually rubbed the frame at ful lock. Then my wife got me a Daystar 3/2 lift and a set of Spidertrax 1.25" wheel spacers for Christmas and I finally got around to installing them yesterday. Much better now!

Stock:

A little before and after:

I have heard nothing but good things about Spidertrax products and I will say that I am more than impressed with the quality of the spacers. They came packaged nicely and even included a tube of red Loc-tite with each pair.* They completely eliminated the rubbing on the frame and gave the truck a much more aggressive stance.

A couple comparison shots:

Looks pretty sweet Daniel! Like what you did to it.

Completely different truck with just a few mods.

Well done man!

Thanks guys, amazing what a set of wheels/ tires and a small lift will do!

I would love to have an Excursion with a big diesel in it(like Kimmers!) but they are pretty hard to find and/or expensive. I found a really good deal on a black 06 lifted on 35s but it ended up being a V10.

I parked beside a stock Tundra at the gas station yesterday and I could really tell how much of a height difference there actually is!

And I snapped a couple more pics with a better background than my fire house parking lot, lol.
