3rd Gen Magnetic Gray Thread

Yup 38 deg at 8am and I'm out hand washing her.

 

Awesome set up man. Can you share more details about your rig?
- what are the 5100s set at front/rear?
- what size BF KO2's?

Thanks

 

5100s set at .85 in front. The rears are not adjustable. That's the reason for the add a leaf in the rear which achieves approximately 1.5"-2.0" of lift. The BFG KO2s are 265/70/17. I considered going larger but this size is available in "C" class which isn't so stiff and is quieter. The larger ones only come in "E" class which are stiffer and give a harsher ride.

 

So my truck came in with a pretty deep looking scratch on it. i haven't got a chance to talk to the dealer yet cause the truck is at the place where they get the block heater and all the stuff they do when its new done to it. So how do i handle this with them is them just fixing the scratch good enough? I think I'm going to ask for a letter saying if it rust or looks bad there down the road they have to fix it? I don't get to pick it up till Monday night because I'm getting them to switch out the tires. Should i just wait till then to ask about it see if they try fixing it with out telling me witch would kinda bug me!

Decided to trade in my 2013 2WD and finally go to the big leagues. Had to stick with the Magnetic Gray for sure. I can't wait to go up to the mountains and see where I can go.

 

Recently picked it up, only 175 miles on the od, installed method wheels, plastidip the grill, hid headlights, lift coming in next week, then bfg's

 

Which lift kit

 

Don't take possession until you have it in writing that it will be fixed and warrantied.

 

Thinking of the Billies 5100 with ome 885 springs.....rear aal....

 

watching the sunset earlier morro bay, ca! 1 week of owning this truck and hit 500 miles today! Loving it!!

 

Congrats on your purchase!

 

I had a 2013 MGM aclb mt, and earlier I was going up and down some fire roads and these trucks are a huge step up! Crawl control noise is crazy. 4lo in 1st gear is the only thing you need. Does anyone not mind the crawl noise?

 

Did you happen to have any rubbing with the methods at stock height? Tire rack says you'd need to lift or do a fender modification cause of aggressive fitment and was curious

 

No fitment issues, the only problem was I wasn't able to use the center caps, otherwise they fit perfect, maybe if I had 2 wheel drive and not 4x4 it wouldn't be an issue....

 

Well that's a good thing to know. I got 4x4 too so I'd be in the same boat

 

After 2 LONG months the Taco finally showed up. Couldn't be happier with it. All the complaints you read on here makes a guy kinda sketchy on buying one but needless to say the 13' will definitely not be missed!

 

I have a brand new set of front and rear 5100s if you're interested! https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/bnib-bilstein-5100-shocks-struts.413653/

 

Question - did you mean it has 4.5" backspacing? I would think the offset would be +1 or something... Looks great! What are your rim dimensions and what size tires are you running?

 

Finally got my first Tacoma after about six weeks, ordered......SR5 4x4 auto, tow, tonneau.....Put on some wheels and tires....Yoko Goelandar 265/75R17, Mickey Thomson sidebiter II, stock suspension......Weathertechs on order
BTW this forum doesnt make it any easier to wait for a truck on order
