Cooper St max

 

man I absolutely love the look and stance of tis truck. love you old one too. I cant wait to get my 18 Tacoma. I want it to have exact same stance. how is ride compared to stock? love the new 4x4 decals over stock much better and love the blue accents

 

im also going copper stt maxx. I might give all this thread to the shop that will be lifting mine to see if he can make mine the same. Im still trying to decide on cement white or silver on my 18.

 

Thanks man! I like the ride better. The sports are pretty stiff stock. I carry about 400-500 lbs in the back all the time with the all pros.

So you ordered an 18?

 

no not yet they still cant be ordered. I will be trading in my 16 Colorado diesel for 18 dbl cb of road. I test drove an 18 zr2 today and it rides much better than my 16 z71 Colorado. he had great handling and ride with that suspension. But I am ready for change from chevy back to Toyota and ready to lift and mod my 18 for my dd. I put 33 to 35k miles on a year. I sure like the interior better in the Tacoma just wish seats would go up and down and steering wheel would adjust more but oh well. pros and cons

 

where do you come in Ok?

 

what wheels and tires exactly do you have size wise?

 

Really depends on where the ducks are. I've gone anywhere along i40 to 351 on the eastern side of the state.

 

The current set up is 255/80/17. I didn't have to cut anything for them to fit like I would have for 285s. The ko2s were 265/70s.

 

I've always been a toyota guy even tho they always leave you wanting simple/little things.

 

I hear ya. I live in Bartlesville ok and work in Tulsa ok. appreciate all the info cant wait to get my 18

 

Last one looks grey but are these grey or gunmetal? Nice build!

 

Thanks man. They are gunmetal.

 

Blue Goose,
I have a few questions for you. Your truck looks outstanding. I used to own a 96 tacoma too.
What lift height did you set for your front suspension?
Lastly, what offset did you choose for wheels? 12 or 10mm?

Thanks.

 

Thanks for the compliment! I've got the second gen 5100 at the 1st notch with the 887s. One comment on this set up, even though my alignment numbers look good, I would still replace the UCAs. They are next on my list.

The rays 10s are the - 12 offset.

 

I don't have any pictures of him in the truck, but I used it to take this bad boy to the processor. My first this year and of course with the ol bowtech.

 

I see you went with Icons. What height did you go for the rear?
Thank you again.

 

The AP leaf pack is 3 inch lift. I went with the icons because I had Amazon gift cards to use and they were prime eligible haha.

 

Hey Blue Goose,

Any rubbing with that wheel and tire setup? How does it ride?
