DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

I might be out, this little dirty slutbag Might be on stands then.

 

Nice truck! Bookmark this thread and keep an eye out for meet ups. We try to have one once a month...

 

hmmmmm. what cha doin there?

 

Pulling the diffs, coilovers and UCAS for a rebuild

 

New parts or all rebuild?

 

Coilovers are rebuild
Everything else new

 

What kind of UCAs did you get?

 

I've had ICONS for awhile but I'm going to replace the uniballs with new ones since the truck will be torn apart

Welcome

 

No intro
No pics?

 

Well kinda a long story...
Bought a Limited, wanted to Off Road more after reading reviews and camping in Oklahoma. Researched, went back to the dealer, negotiated for about 2.5 weeks, got a deal, settled last Tuesday, will pick up a 2017 TRD Off Road Super White DC by the end of this month.

 

Hell yes, first get sliders than skids. After that start the money funnel

 

I'd say IFS skid first, then sliders.... But that may be b/c I thrashed my OEM skid within weeks of having my truck, it took a few years before I crushed a rocker panel.

 

It's kind of a toss up. Id say ideally buy sliders and all skids at once but I know a lot just do a little at a time

 

Sliders > Skids

 

Im about to get set up to get an early 2nd gen to build a mild wheeler/overlander. I need some schooling.

Id love to run 35s but i dont think i want to go through the trouble. So im thinking 33s. Ill be going with armor/high clearance rear.

Are 33s with a 3 inch lift enough to clear 4 diamonds at bridgeport and gilmer?

If I go 4 inch, what else will be needed besides the suspension? Brake lines? Carrier bearing drop? Sway bar relocate?

 

I've got 35's and less than 3 inches up front. Both Open diffs and I can do some 4s in Gilmer. My buddy has a 4Runner on 33's that's a trail edition and he can pretty much keep up. I'd say go 35's because your already contemplating it. 4 inch is a drop bracket and you actually loose clearance vs a 3 inch with coilovers. You will need extended brake lines. Sway bar will have a bracket to lower it a little that comes with most coilovers. With my EXPOS I didn't do the carrier bearing drop and it's fine.


And it's current state as today

 

Trimmed fenders?
