lowering taco 3rd gen...

To stop wheel hop... If you floor it from a dig it's like ur back tires are a dribbling basketball without a trace bar...

 

for loading my motorcycle i would need to find my rear wheel sits on the borderline of driveway on actual road, that would give me lowest truck bed height!!

in your case, i would even need the walk on ramp, just hope onto the bed...very nice!!!

 

For a couple grand wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to drive down to Home Depot and hook up a utility trailer for half the price?

 

Own one... it doesn't have 400 horsepower

 

Neither does a lowered Tacoma.

 

Lowering doesn't make a truck any less of a truck.

 

1 ton is a 1 ton, lifted, stock, or slammed.

 

Just put steel bumpers, sliders, skids, a winch, and a bed full of gear. truck lowered

 

Agreed. But in the end it's only 3-1/2" on an already 1" lifted truck.

 

No argument there, the third gen isn't optimal for lowering, but it does have an aggressive stance when done.

Just not low, at least from what I've seen as a bolt on kit.

For $5-7k though..

 

You're suggesting such a drastic change for small problem!

 

No....but I have a 4cly Tacoma that I have hauled a car trailer and car with. I have a 6' bed on the Tacoma, so when I have long stuff I use my 70 chevy...I also have a dump truck at my disposal ...but it's loaded with firewood and has a 91/2' plow on it....so I use the chevy pickup(which happens to be lowered)not that it matters.

 

perhaps....i like to throw money at my problem....lol

just kidding...

got to make sense though...when you are tired from a race weekend, you can't afford a mis-hap...

 

Say you get the kit I linked earlier, that's 3.5" lower. That doesn't make much difference in ramp angle.. and I would imagine for the same $1k+ you'd be spending for that kit plus install you could find a motorcycle trailer that'll fix the problem far more efficiently, and be easier to use.

 

i'm loading plus towing...total three bikes....i should of got a freaking MB sprinter van...why did i buy another tacoma...smh....

 

I think we are building a wall...

 

I do believe vans are making a comeback.....just a matter of time before we see shag carpet and heart shaped beds in the back

 

You're killing me.

I don't know what else to suggest, but at the end of the day you probably should've bought something different. Trailer won't work, and you'll still be loading into a high bed with the current bolt on lowering kits available, and they're not going to change your ramp angle or bed height all that much.

 

I do think, it should be a requirement that they race with a 4x8 piece of plywood hanging out the back....lol

 

take it easy...just joking here...

love the truck...
