Pictures!!!

^At lake pleasant a few weeks after I got the truck. Green bike is my 99kx250, blue is dads 99yz250

^These are at my last job as line service at swift aviation. I cleaned my truck inside the hanger every Saturday and the second pic is the day after I got the bilsteins put on

^Monunent Valley. Two day trip, got tons of awesome pictures and truck worked great.

^After upgrading tires from stock 265/70 to 265/75. No rub

^TRD beadlock wheels, ring off, with 5/16 black hex socket set screws in the screw holes so the chrome isn’t sticking out. Falken Wildpeak AT3W 265/75/16 tires

^Tufskinz foam inserts


^Single Deaver AAL install. Took about 3 hours

^Getting my front suspension done. OME 884 coils on Bilstein 5100 shocks. 1/4 top plate spacer on drivers side for taco lean.

^Relentless Fab low profile bed bars powder coated wrinkle black

^Smittybilt Overlander tent, purchased from Amazon. Very spacious inside, sleeps 2 comfortably but could easily fit 3. Quality material, lots of windows and vents for views and airflow. Weighs around 120lbs, barely notice a difference when I’m driving.

 

Truck looks pretty good.

 

Thanks dude, lift going on next couple weeks

 

Lookin good man! I like it!

 

The lift made for a huge difference on mine. Totally changed my truck for the better and I love it even it. Your going to like your lift, mine is similar with only 2 differences. Enjoy!

 

Yeah I have mine leveled right now but after getting bigger tires I decided I need just a little bit more lift to give me that perfect look

 

Ha ha yeah, and then like me you'll do something else to it lol. It's gonna be a sweet ride though.

 

Awesome Taco!

 

Thanks! Lift going on next couple of days

 

How many inches total?

 

Deaver AAL in the rear = 2 inches
OME 884 springs on my bilstein 5100’s in the front =2.5 inches
With a 1/4 top plate spacer on the drivers side for lean.

 

Did the rear suspension upgrade today. Single Deaver AAL on each side gave me about +2 inches. Whole thing took probably close to 4 hours with the help of my dad. Super happy with the outcome, front being done in a week.

 

Lift finished! OME 884’s on Bilstein 5100’s set at 0, and 1/4 top plate spacer on drivers side. Thanks to @HeadStrong Off-Road for the lift suggestions

 

Looks good! Welcome to the Tacoma Fam an tacomaworld. This place is awesome....but not for your wallet...

 

Lookin' good! Thank you again @99kx250 for your business!

 

1/10/19 replaced stock chrome bumper with a super white one off eBay $200. Took about 4 hours since I didn’t look up much instructions and learned as I went along

 

March 2019 swapped my sliders for steps off another Tacomaworld member

 

March 2019, cut out my grill center piece and put in the small circle gloss black mesh ordered from customcargrills
