I think ive ordered hundreds of things offline and i dont think anything has ever come by the "expected arrival" date. here in nl especially where your relying on the ferry its pretty much 3 weeks minimum for anything out of the country. Overnight shipping is also useless...

 

Yeah and for essentially just being USA trial edition lite, you guys have quite the price hike. My buddy goes to UBC and he always compares Canada to a freemium app, the base living expense isn't bad but everything else requires a solid career to afford even the basics.

 

Read other builds, or get fancy and learn about wall thickness and suspension geometry. You could even PM someone who has a mod that you like and ask them about it. Plenty of options.

 

you can buy a few shock relocation kits. theres also a shock relocation thread

 

BAMF makes a kit.

 

Well shit

 

you can also get ones like the tc, solo, or our buddy croths that relocate them outside the frame (offset rims or wheel spacers needed with big wide tires) https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/croth-metal-works-light-bar-mounts-and-accessories.407136/page-2

 

I think bamf will make the most sense for me I guess. As long as kings are 1.5 whatever and don't have rubber bushings

 

I looked at that one but on some first gens the e-brake cable passes low across the rear of the axle not across the top like that mount is made for. I got the Total Chaos relocate which has it's own limitations.

 

I'm going this route with 5125s and Expos, until I have the time to install my BAMF rear relocation kit, 2.5" smoothies, and u-bolt flip.

 

Probably what I'll end up doing until I have more money and more know how.

 

Ive got same plan. I blew the 5125s in under a year tho.

 

Damn! What length shock, and what springs?

 

So I found a few spots on my frame that have worn through to the bare metal (tire rubbing) What do you guys spray just to cover it back up (no rust still shiny!)

 

8.5" (the 10" was a bif to long in factory location) with skyjacker leafs. Warranty on them so il just get a new set when i feel like taking them off. Plan is to replace them with some relocated 9100s

 

If its rubbed off now itl rub off again.

 

Not if I changed tires/wheels

 

True. Or just add wheel spacers.

Id just give it a quick spray of black rust paint.

 

Great thanks!
I figured as much just wanted to check
