Old Man Emu setups on 1st gens

Thanks man, ARE make solid shells, I was lucky found it on Craigslist, they seem to pop up every once and a while..

Check wheelers offroad, great prices on lifts and other tacoma items

 

shit...tempting me to get a set of ome struts now. i'm so bugg by the lean.
i suppose the 10mm is not good for the 5100.

 

My full OME kit with 881s and Wheeler's 5 leaf pack was shipped last night. Can't wait to get it installed!

 

No, it is specific to the Nitrocharger design and diameter.

But you could use a top spacer:

 

Got my OME Struts/Coils installed this morning. I'll post pics later on

 

Finally finished installing everything this week.

881's and Nitrochargers up front, diff drop (seems to help), wheelers 3 leaf aal and nitro's in rear.

100% difference in ride quality with right around 2" lift.

Sorry about the shitty camera quality

 

very nice

 

Nitrochargers, 881s, and Wheeler's 5 leaf pack!

 

awesome man!!

 

Nitros, 881, Daystar shackles.

 

Okay, so I will be putting on the OME kit with 882's as soon as it gets here (Nitros on back order till next week). My question is can you put a 3" spacer lift (Blocks in the back or possibly an AAL) on with the OME kit? I really would like more than what I'm expecting from the OME kit alone. My only concern would be that the rear shocks would not have enough extension for this set up. Any experience with this out there?

 

Sorry, a little off-topic here, but Dan, I have been admiring how good those 4-runner wheels look for quite some time. Inspired choice. They just work, and they look so much better than the Tacoma equivalent.

Did you buy them nw, or score them used? How much, if you don't mind me asking.

 

I got them off CL w/ some bald MT/R's for $250. Paid a little more than I would have liked but they are hard to find around here. If you really want a set I would watch the classified's on the 4Runner forums since all those guys like to run them. Just don't let them charge you an arm and a leg.

 

Thanks for the tip. Nice rig, even though it is the same color as Digiratus's.

 

Are you talking about putting on a 3 inch coil spacer on top of the OME coils? Doing that would get you like 5 inches of lift, and destroy parts of your truck. You would have zero inches of down travel, and you would go through cv axels like crazy. Don't do it.

Now, if you're talking about stacking aal's and axel blocks, then yes you can do that.

 

x2!

Thanks for the info.

 

Impulse Red is the best, just ask Mike and Austen

 

Hey Guys,

First let me start off by saying this is a great thread with lots of good looking trucks. I have a couple questions and I need some advice, so I'm coming to the experts.. I am currently running an 03 PreRunner Xtra Cab V6 with the 5100's on all 4 corners. The fronts are set to 1.75" and I'm still not quite level. I am looking for 2. to 3 inches of lift and the truck to sit level. Im considering the 881's with a Toytec 2" AAl. I will also be purchasing a set of Goodyear Duratracs to put on my stock rims (I want to buy a set of FJ TRD rims when i can afford them). So here are my questions:

1. Can i fit 285 75 16's with the 881's on the stock rims without any rubbing or will trimming be necessary?

2. Will i need to change the wheel back spacing if i get the 285 75 16's?

3. Will i need a longer brake line with the 2" AAL?

4. Can i use the 10mm trim pack on my 5100's?

I think that is the same OE skid that came stock on my 06 Tundra....it is aluminum and all show....I think it will offer only minmum protection but I do like mine!
