Boooooooooo

 

I personally really like the Trail front end, looks super aggressive.

One thing I did learn yesterday while off-roading in my friends Rubicon is that I was super impressed with the Duratrac's in the mud. This does not help the decision between the KO2's and Duratracs.

 

I like the trail too. That added wrap around plate on the lower bumper is cool. Wish they did that with the SR5 so I could have it haha.

 

soo.. is that suspension installed?

 

I know, I know. I'm very up in the air about what to do since I want to do a whole front end refresh as far as all my suspension components go. The only problem being that I don't have the money to get all the other pieces.
That leaves me two options, Coilovers now and wait till summer to do everything else. Which is more or less two installs.
Option two being acquire everything and spend a whole day doing it all in the summer.

Things desired for front end refresh:
Coilovers
Icon UCA's
CVJ CV Axles
OEM LCA's with new bushings
Total Chaos Weld-on Spindle Gussets
10" Limit Straps
Sonoran Steel Limit Straps Kit
New 1" Diff Drop

 

@RedRunner87
Saw you posted on T4R about your new sliders. Kickout? Mind sharing what he's charging you?

 

He is doing a kickout for me and non-kickout for @mr optimist. Mine are going to look very similar to what is on his Tacoma. I will PM you about it.

 

Ordered 4 wheel spacers...just need the adjustable panhard, extended brake lines and tires.

 

get your extended brake lines from @OCTaco

 

Why 4?

 

i ordered six

 

How much does he charge? I was going to order them both from Sonoran Steel

Since I have the Limited flares I wanted to even out the front and rear tires.

 

Don't you only need 2? When you lift the front it brings the tires inboard... Your rear will be wider than your front if you put spacers on all 4 corners... Spidertrax?

 

I guess we will see. The main reason is to push the rims away from the upper control arms so they don't run. I bought 4 for $135 shipped so if I don't use the back 2 I can sell them and make my money back. I have seen pictures of Runners with Limited flares and the rears look way better with the spacers on them. I guess we will see. Yes spidertrax

Toyota would not become Subaru at all. Toyota would just own Subaru. Think about it they share a lot of stuff and Toyota cars are not known for being sporty or fun. Tell me you would decline a Toyota version of the STI, heck the crosstrek is kinda cool.

On a separate note... http://truckyeah.jalopnik.com/2017-toyota-tacoma-trd-pro-looks-like-a-legit-lightweig-1758534704 that looks interesting.

 

Damn you could have waited like 2 more days and bought my spidertrax spacers.

 

LOL if you only end up using 2 let me know... lol

Where you get that deal???

 

I liked that bumper you posted without the hoop. The stock bumper looks good imo. Cool way to get some more protection and have a winch.

 

Guy on T4R was selling his set of 4 since he got a new set of wheels
