2wd BS and SoCal meet ups and Tacoma fun

@JaCado I am off on Saturday but going to wedding

 

No worries, hope it's an open bar.

 

2wd group not a bad idea. Checking in from Chino. My truck has an E-locker along with a good little 3 inch lift setup. OME struts with 882 springs, fox 2.0 with resis in rear, All-Pro leaf springs, and KO2 for tires. Deffenitly trying to go on a trail run soon.

 

Welcome to the thread.

 

@acal Welcome to the family!

 

OK boys and girls poll is closed and 9 am won. We will be meeting up at the Subway Restaurant located in the quote. Look forward to seeing you all there. Hopefully we can leave by 915- 930 after doing last minute gear and supply check.

 

Sounds great! Can't wait!

 

Need some help! I currently have a 2.5" RC Suspension Lift and I want to go bigger. I know everyone is against body lifts but I don't know what else to do...I'm wanting to go another 5" atleast. Suggestions and maybe a link of where to get it? Thanks guys!

 

Post that up on this section

You want to go 7.5" total lift? Seems a bit over the top. What is your objective? Bigger tires? More clearance? Appearance? Most hardcore off-road enthusiasts do fine with 2-3" of total lift. More than that is mainly just for looks.

 

I already have bigger tires, I'm thinking 5 inches total. Right now I'm sitting at about 3" with the lift kit. I either want to do another 2 body or somewhere else but I'm not sure where if I already have a suspension/leveling kit.

 

Talk to Mike (@eccracer104). He and his significant other (@YotaGurlIAm) have spindle lifts and it looks like it's definitely more than 3". They may have some suggestions for you.

 

So does @BAMFTACO he is on this thread

 

I get off work at 7am on Saturday(hopefully) but I'll head down right after. I'll post in here if anything changes, coming from Yorba Linda should take me little over an hour to get there.

 

Hopefully you can join us! My wife and I are in Oceanside so it'll take about just as long.

 

Thanks! I'll have to talk to them when we go out this weekend!

 

Yes. You'll get a chance to see their rigs too. Madison (@YotaGurlIAm ) has a sweet 1st gen so you'll get some great ideas for your rig.

 

One of those pics looks familiar

Thanks again! Appreciate you helping me spread the thread. I have quite the deficit to come back from haha.

Thank you good sir!

We will most likely carpool in Madisons truck this trip. @CoalTrainTaco spindles are a great way to go about getting lift without sacrificing quality. It's a 2wd only application, and sadly for the 1st gen trucks very expensive. Madison has the spindles on her truck, you can check them out in person this weekend. Essentially they relocate the front wheels lower. So you're gaining lift height and ground clearance while holding the same suspension geometry.

Also here's my prerunner. And as @JaCado mentioned, please vote for me (if you want me to win )

 

A bunch of nice trucks here!

Too bad I gotta work Saturday

 

To bad Dad... we're going to miss you.
