3rd Gen Magnetic Gray Thread

Looks sick man! What kind of tires are these?

 

Toyo Open Country R/T
285/70/17

 

Parked under the bushes while I fished a few small neighborhood bridges.

 

Got my truck lifted Friday, alignment Saturday, and took it off roading yesterday! Went with 5100’s, Eibach pro-lift coils, SPC UCA’s, and ToyTec mini leaf pack. I’m happy

 

looks nice man! how much lift did the Eibach's give you?

 

Thanks! 2”.. they ride great. Night and day difference from stock coils. Easily worth the money.

 

I decided to go the cheap route and used my stock coils with 5100's at the 3rd notch(1.55") and im not too happy with the ride, i feel EVERYTHING and my kids hate being in the truck now. I may have to switch out to either Eibach's or OME's.

Can i ask what made you go the Eibach route? Most people here seem to love the OME's.

 

I had stock coils on 5100’s set on the 3rd notch as well and the difference is definitely noticeable. The guys over at ToyTec said the OME coils don’t play nice with 5100’s. Something about the notch placement and/or inconsistency in lift height reported from customers. New coils are on 1st notch (lowest setting) in case you decide to go this route. I don’t remember but I think they also mentioned something about the Eibach coils being less harsh on paved roads vs OME. Am I talking out of my ass or does that sound about right @ToyTec Lifts

 

Has anyone put black tailgate letters on their mgm? Curious what it looks like

 

Same. I’ve tried finding pics on here and google but no luck.

 

Someone brought this up before(maybe earlier in this thread?) and posted pictures and i was surprised and how nice it looked and how noticeable it actually was.

 

Awesome. Thank you

Where are those from?

 

Thanks! I'll be putting in an order now!

 

What skid is that?

Read online that this vinyl wrap is a perfect match for MGM... Has anyone had any experience with it?

 

I bought them off Amazon. I found out they were sold by Right Toyota in Scottsdale, AZ

Genuine OEM Quality Toyota Tacoma 2016+ Premium Tailgate Letter Insert Inlay TRD PRO Satin Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MXT8KJ4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_h.UPAbW1NHVFN

$100 but they look OEM badges. You can find Tuffskinz on Amazon for $50 but from what I’ve seen they don’t look as good. They’re a lot more flat than the ones I put on my truck. Speedy but worth it IMO.

 

if i were you, i'd try Bilstein 6112/5160 with HD Dakars.. that might change your mindset. they are already pre-designed to function well.

 

wow. those look amazing, an especially for their price!!!! i've been shopping around lookin at BAMF, Mobtownoffroad, demello... these look good with the hoop at the end.
