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

I dont have the rear window switch. But i ended up putting my lightbar switch in the blank next to that. Probably wont bother installing the switch panel for awhile. Im going to add some spots to the rear bumper for the boat ramp.

 

Im looking at that power rear window!
I would really like to get that installed in my truck!

 

If mine ever gets broken im converting it. Im wondering if mine is prewired at all.

 

Does anybody know if the rear bilstein 5100's are compatible with dakar leafs or do I need longer rear shocks? Im seeing conflicting info.

 

5100s come in standard and extended. Dakars will need extended.

 

Needed something interesting in the foreground for all the lightning going off over Lake Lavon last night. Think this worked pretty well if I do say so myself.

 

Friekin sick

 

I've had the 3 switch one waiting to be installed for months. Also have other lights to get installed once I decide where they are going.

16's won't be pre wired. From what I've read they don't even have the mounting locations for the electronics.

@Silverspool is right. The standards will over extend with dakars, you need the extended ones to go with dakars.

 

4WP is telling me they dont show an extended length 5100 and the part number I had found online was an old style Bilstein number. Would this be the correct new style?

 

That actually sounds right for 3rd gen but ill defer to someone who knows for sure. Dakars, if unmodified provide 2.75" lift, those should work if im guessing right.

 

Yeah its getting confusing. I also read something about the 5125's needing shock top adapters for a second gen, not sure if they mount to the 3rd gen without adapter or not.

 

Arent the rears the same as 2nd gen? Check part number on 2nd gen extended on headstrong site maybe?

 

x2. headstrong will know. I am about to sell my rear 5100's with about 1k miles on them if you are interested. I am not sure if they are extended or not but they work, I have Toytec AAL @Xplosiv

 

You probably have the regular length. Bilsteins with an AAL do not need to be the extended version. Only on the dakars do you need the extended version to handle the added droop.

 

Need a mod day soon.. hopefully be able to get jba ucas soon. Still trying to figure out what to do with the rear. Gonna go with boss 2.5 but not sure if i want to do a diff AAL or get a leaf pack.

After the suspension is redone itll be time to start the 4x4 conv

 

Nice! let me know when and I can probably help out.

 

Thanks! As soon as i get UCAs. Maybe in a cpl weeks

 

Sounds good. I wont complain if you decide to wait until it cools down a bit.

 

Just came across this thread for switches in the roof consoles for 3rd gens. I may need to use them down the road for 2 more switch locations if I ever need. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...6-26-2017-now-availalbe.473810/#post-14328450
