New Member, Houston, TX

Good morning,

Just joined. My wife and I are fairly new to the Tacoma world, but are longtime offroaders. My wife drives a '17 TRD Offroad short bed dual cab that has turned into another project for us. So far it sports ADS 2.5 coil-overs and shocks, TC heim joint CAs, Icon add-a-leaf pack, Toy Tec u-bolt flip, 16x8 Method 311 wheels with 285/75R16 KO2s, Nitro 4.88s and a front ARB air locker, and Shrockworks rocker guards.

We don't get to 'wheel much, living around Houston, and most of our long-distance trips have been centered around 'wheeling our Jeep. The truck has been on a shake-down run to Big Bend Ranch State Park, and we're planning to take it to Silverton, CO this summer, hopefully for the annual Black Bear Backwards run.

Anyway, thanks for having us. I look forward to learning more about the truck!

 

Welcome. That shelter in the background of your pic looked like a truck rack for a second. Cheers

 

Awesome truck, Welcome!!!

How do you like the ADS coilovers? A buddy of mine has them on his 3rd gen and I love the way his truck rides.

 

Thank you! We love the ADS set-up. With the way the truck sits she runs the front comp adjusters three clicks above soft, and the rears one click. Rides way better than stock, and handles like a dream. We've had it drifting corners on desert dirt roads at 55mph and it was smooth and controlled.

 

Rockin!!! ​

Welcome an nice truck.. your sliders will pay for themselves at black bear heading up there myself to attempt it an emogene with my folks...they are Jeep people but live up the mtn from silvertone in Montrose. Safe travels!!

 

Thank you! We've run Black Bear twice, first time in 2005 when we still lived in Albuquerque. I've always wanted to run it backwards, would be doubly cool to do so in my wife's truck.
