    Long Overdue update for y'all. Took it out for the first time since Rock Therapy. LT is good stuff but these coilovers could use a crankdown. First time I've been airborn in a vehicle too. The rear is *not* squishier than Joana haha!

    But yeah we took Loop D Loop Trail up to Funny Rock and Moon Rocks then took #426 down. Smoke was horrible. Man it is tight for a truck my length, especially with LT :eek: Several spots required stopping and backing up to make the corner. Used my sliders on trees a lot and both bumpers. Headlight hoops are great for guiding you! I almost smashed my bedside in. Was squishing thru two trees and had to flex over a boulder. Well the rear tire slipped off the rock and bam my rear bumper slid right into the tree :eek: Nicely though there wasn't any bad pinstripes, all soft pine trees.

    Pics:

    Got spotted getting snacks before. Haha #MallRated


    First part of trail:


    The dang ground really hates tacos I guess


    Funny Rocks:


    The way back down. REALLY tight!


    Sorry for the lack of pics. We started at like 2:00 and we wanted to get done before dark. Great trip though. Long travel is good stuff. Very comfy ;)

    Looking good man, I'm planning on swapping out my 600lb coils for the 700s sitting in my kitchen here in the next couple weeks. What weight coils are you rocking?

    I am rocking the 700 lb coils... Not sure how much I like them currently. Need to adjust the preload since I'm at around 3.5" of lift over a stock Tacoma....
    Omg! Need to know if manual or auto!

    OP Updated. Tried to mention/tag people who have helped me out on this site over the passed two years. Also mentioned and linked the builds of some of the people that inspired me or helped me out. Thanks everybody :cheers:

    In other news, my truck is pissing me off. Front passenger side is being very obnoxious. Loud groaning/grinding sound and vibration that randomly appears and goes away. :mad:

    Yes. No tire wobble but when I spin the tire I can feel a vibration in my coil...

    Very... I've also heard it could need an ECGS bushing?

    That's in the diff and very well possible when you removed your axles did you have any small metal shavings?

    That's how i set mine. Sorry man, i thought i had this internets thing figured out. As far as those 700lb coils go, once they are broken in I'm sure you'll like them. I ran them on my older 4Runner build and could still stuff the tires when crawling. My Taco is setup similarly with full steel skids, sliders, and a steel front bumper and winch. I'd like a little more height on my own front end and am tired of adding preload to the 600s. We'll see after the swap i guess.

    Yeah you sure as hell don't need to preload them much haha. Out of the box they are high :eek: I'm sure I'll like them too.
    Know what I don't like? My BAMF shock relocation. You lose a lot of up travel if you properly bump the rear... I probably could have been better if I hung the lower shock mounts way underneath the axle but that's no fun ;)
    I'm just gonna go thru the bed with some 14s and build a low profile shock support thing...

    Also figured out my problem. I need the ECGS bushing. @Boogyman told me the way to check is to put it in 4hi when the noise starts and it should go away. Did that this morning on the drive to work. Instantly went away. Went back to 2wd and it instantly started again.

    Had this same dilemma, you have to use the old method of adding a photo. Add image as a url (mountains and sun button) vs adding an image from your gallery (camera button).
