New member here.

I'm just got here and have been lurking around for a while but finally decided to make an account. I have done the Satoshi grill mod, a magna flow offroad series exhaust, led interior lights( it's an amazing upgrade), led pods behind the grill, and I ordered some fj cruiser trd wheels. (not my truck in the picture but it's the same wheel)

 

Nice looking Taco, I just joined TW also, been a week now, same as you been looking at it for years also, thought it was too confusing.? A bit of a learning curve, but I'm addicted now,lots to see and great advice to be hade

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Welcome to TW Jim! Great looking Tacoma!

 

Welcome. The FJ wheels look great!

 

I'm new here to don't know how to do much I never had computer but I figure it out one day

 

You'll learn bro, just take your time and cruse around the site, don't need to do anything but ask questions if you want, I've only been one TW for a few weeks now. .addicted

 

Yea I like it so far thinking of getting 6" rough country lift and want some opinions

 

Are you on a budget, ? I can help ypu out with an awesome left, that you can actually use OFF ROAD hard core, unless you just mainly want it higher and don't do much OFF ROAD driving !

 

What u got in mind I'm on a budget too just had a baby. Just on road daily driver maybe off-road if I need to but I don't want to just go

 

I'll get back to you in a few hours, I'm out and about rite now but totally,, I can give you suggestion on a budget, I lifted my truck the 1st time for a few

 

welcome, enjoy the madness love those FJ wheels

 

I'm going to 6" lift using SOME rough country parts. I'm taking the spindles, cross members, and bolts.. Then using Fabtech Upper Control Arm (UCA), Fox/BDS coilover in the front and Fox shocks in the rear. I think you save some $$ if you go this route, and still have a nice roadworthy and off-road worthy vehicle. You can try using the front spacers (it'll save you about $1300, the cost of fox coilovers), but that's about it. I would definitely recommend going with uniball UCA like the fabtech or total chaos over the stock option.

All said, I'm in it $3,000 or so with a good 6" lift.. and another $1500 for a set of 35" tires.. Already have 17" wheels with 4-5/8 backspacing. Also regearing since I'm going to run a bigger tire, and I haul a trailer, so it'll be nice.. and that's another $2100 from east coast gear supply.

 

Yea I have the 3" rc lift now and have 285/65/18 it rides good and only rubs when turning and it a bump

 

Excellent choice, only one bit of advice, check out TOTAL CHAOS FABRICATION. ..look online at there entire catalog, they offer spindles, arms,longer axles etc... everything you need. .I've got a Pre- Runner,with TC UCA'S but i did pucchase less expensive spindles, only because I don't have 4x4,but if I did, would of gotten there entire kit, it's worth a look just so you understand more about everything. ...
I ran spacers and TC UCA'S for 2 yes,and was just fine ( actually handled pretty good ) only just recently I was able to afford better stuff
have a look at my photos, I've only posted a few, but the UCA'S make all the difference no matter who ypu get em from, I just believe in TOTAL CHAOS myself
GOOD LUCK
