What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I felt like 33's were a bit undersized for the lift......so.........DIRTY5's IT IS

 

What size tires are those??

 

35x12.50's

 

Looks Awesome! Do you have a link to where you purchased everything? Also, how much lift did you end up receiving after all was done?

 

I got the lift components from Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road - she's the BESTEST. I got the Maxtrac kit with OME 885 springs and Bilstein 5100's all around. I'm not sure on total lift achieved. I wanna say I'm about dead on at 6.5" - which is exactly what I was going for. I can do a quick check tonight, but I'll really know in a couple weeks assuming everything is settled. I still need to do alignment as well.

If you're 4x4, you can't do the same setup - you've got front diff and cv axles to deal with. I think most people with 4x4 that want 6+ inches go with DB type lifts (ProComp or others)

 

Agreed.

 

Well it's an awesome setup. Not sure if I personally want more than a 6" lift. Right now I'm sitting at 4" lift and really like the setup with my 34" tires. Only thing I might change is from spacers to coils at some point. Thanks for all the detail tho. Looks great!

 

Not only looks fantastic, but rides beautifully as well. Truck looks like a monster in the garage.

 

I thought the same thing. My daughter is also on the passenger side.

 

Battery upgrade. NorthStar NSB-AGM31M + Pelfreybilt cage. This battery is HUGE!

 

I'm not the OP but here's my vid on how i did it. i couldn't get the center piece off so i just pulled on the sides to get the cover off.

 

First post, first Tacoma, first weekend camping this year. She's been fun so far

 

Thanks!

 

Well, the installer did a pretty badass job.

 

Welcome to TW. Nice looking rig! Watch your pocketbook as the mod fever can get expensive.

 

I'm already feeling the pain.... haha. Had to hide the credit card for the time being.

 

finished yesterday.....


but we got the SOS Streamline bumper, Engo winch, 5100 / OME 888 lift, Pro Comp wheels, 285/70/17 tires, Tyger step bars, and EMS matte black reflective bedside decals installed

 

Picked up a metal grille and took off the old one. Its for sale in CO if anyone is interested. SR trim and black.

 

Took the Tacoma off the door and V6 off the tailgate
