Flexing pics

Awesome! That line down old Tin Cup was a lot of fun.

 

Meh

 

Excuse my dumbass friend in the first picture.

 

lol @ flogrown

 

Couple fun ones from a quick excursion. Guys taking pics of my Taco said rear got 4' off the ground. Idk about that but damn I was teetering.

 

I've had that happen...




That tippy feeling is kinda cool though, it was a big hill and my friend was holding the camera as flat as he could.

 

Gotta love front IFS eh? I've teetered before but never this bad. Been off roading for years and this was my first "oh shit" moment in the Tacoma wish they got better pics, pictures never do it justice aha.

 

Right, it's great for a smooth ride but hard to make work nicely for the tough terrain. The worst part is that the area where the front wheels are is mostly flat, there is just a massive chunk of the hill missing. You're right though, pics can't explain the incline or the couple of falls my friend had just trying to get the pics It's weird my front end flexes decently on its own, but the position of the rear doesn't influence it at all like it would with a solid axle front which causes things like this to happen. Funny enough, many pictures back in this thread I had posted my stock flex and just discovered it again searching my posts.\


At least it pretends to flex well when I'm trying to take a pic

 

Between the beefy Fox coil overs and the sway bar, seems like it takes a lot to get my front to do flex haha.

 

I ditched the sway bar, but yeah my 620lb coils are not helping me, coilovers are in my future for sure.

 

I want to take mine off, but I've rolled a truck in a high speed off road accident before (fire got enveloped by a sheer face) and I have yet to learn my lesson and still run the Tacoma pretty hard and don't want to risk it. Many people have told me I'll be fine but still more research too do.

 

It's not for everyone, I did it because I have 620lb coils on a 4cyl truck. So I have plenty of extra coil strength to dissipate, I can still take a mean corner. That said it is unwise if your coils wouldn't be stiff enough. I'd probably do sway bar disconnects if I get softer coilovers. I know what you mean about quick maneuvers without one though, when my suspension was still old and feeble I had to swerve into a ditch to avoid a deer in the road and that bar likely saved my life.

 

In the making inside my garage lol
