Little info about my daily.. asking for opinions

I seen this earlier!! Agree Seems like a good deal. That’s at all Toyota dealerships?

 

I believe so, @ODNAREM Just got his at Huntington beach Toyota. I would call first though.

 

Going to have to check that out. I also have a 25% discount coupon for any parts bought

 

truth

 

Yep Toyota Of Huntington Beach.They only had two boxed setups in stock.Fortunate that i checked at the local dealership.

 

Did you already install?

 

You may also want to pm @gunny1005 over at camelback Toyota. He maybe able get a set for you.

 

Yes today.Going to do more measurements after alignment tomorrow.Slight lean in rear from stock 6yr old and used leaf springs in the rear.Dakar OME standard duty leaf pack in the near/eventual future.

 

True!

 

I have the same rims with BFG K02’s, 3” lift with diff drop (bilstein 5100’s with AAL in the rear). TRD pro grille and changed all my lights to LED’s (except indicators) and HID running lights.

 

I would keep it stock. Upgrade wheels and tires but at OEM sizes.

 

Nice lookin rig! Do you have side shot of it? How’s it drive?

 

lots of temptations to mod on forums. i did the trd pro lift and now i'm itching to do something else.

 

Went with Icon Stage 1 instead of Bilstein, Kings or Pro Comp. Its a bit more than Bilstein, but with any of these brand - you will not go wrong. No AAL in the rear. Raised 2" in Front, Rear about 1". No Rake, so from the side - very level. I also have the 275-70-17" BFG KO2. I am getting average of 15.8 to 16.5 (drop of 1 to 2 MPG because of the Tire size & rating) Since you do quite a drive, I would suggest going down on the tires to 265-70-17 (there's an E rated - same tires as a TRD PRO). Wheels are 17x8.5 Icon Rebound, Zero Offset. Also, since you live in SOCAL - check some of the vendors here. I went with Demello Offroad for all of my Icon products - call Tiffany or Jason.

I replaced my Westin Trasher (https://www.westinautomotive.com/thrasher-running-boards) running board for a Rock Crusher Slider. Let me know if you want to add a running board in yours - I can sell the Westin for $200 (Only used it for 8 months).

 

Similar truck to op only 4wd

Nice lookin truck! And your a fellow SoCal 2wd owner!

 

Save your money

Put it in a 401k

Or move to a nicer place with savings than riverside county

 

Haha. Currently living in murrieta. Trying to make my way out to San Diego. That’s where all my work is...

 

Good luck
SD is $ well spent

 

Since you spend a lot of time IN the truck use the money to upgrade that first, Clazzio seat covers are probably my favorite interior mod that will keep the interior looking good. I installed my covers 2 years ago and the seats still look great and almost brand new even though the truck is a daily driver (40 mile round trip commute daily.)

Weather tech liners stay in place and keep the carpet looking good, much better than the all weather OEM mats.

For tires I have Nitto Terra Grappler G2 in 265/70/17 size, decent all terrain tire that also performs well in the wet. Have performed very well for 30k miles, come in C and won't break the bank.

Lift oi you think it's necessary but I'd stay below 2 inches in total height, anything more just costs more money exponentially just to get a decent alignment. You can go with 5100 shocks but the ride get's worse if you preload the shocks to raise the truck up, just spend a little more money on aftermarket springs to do the lifting and you'll have a decent ride both on and offroad.
