Not sure about what they are doing about achieving that desired lift height. Marie at @HeadStrong Off-Road can assist you.The answer to 2nd question is yes.

 

Yes, suspension is all the same

 

Thanks fellas.

 

Any of you guys have any of those driveline issues as a result of the lift? Seems like a lot of people have vibrations of some kind after moderate 2-3” lifts. Honestly it’s making me think twice about lifting. Aside from vibrations being annoying, my concern would be premature part failure as a result of misalignment. I know anytime you modify a stock vehicle there is a chance of things failing sooner than they would have but this is my daily and I can’t afford to be without it. Thoughts?

 

No vibration issues here. I did do a carrier barrier drop not sure if it was worth it or not. I have had my truck for a lil over three years.The only major things that have gone wrong with it are the front main seal and the ECM non lift related.

 

Cool. As always thanks for the input John. I wouldn’t think much of it but SO many people report the issue to varying degrees.

 

I have a 3rd Gen sport suspension on my 2nd Gen Sport and it is stiffer.

The shocks and coils are not interchangeable. Meaning 2nd Gen coils won't work with 3rd Gen shocks and vice versa. But the either entire coilover will bolt up to either truck. I added a small spacer and got just over 2 inches up front and an aal in the rear. I did have a small vibe for a little while but it seems to have taken care of itself.

 

Interesting. I didn’t think about doing that. Glad to hear the vibe worked it self out. Love the white btw. Looks good

 

Anyone near ocala? Im just outside it in citrus county.

 

Thank you. Ive wanted this truck since 2005. This is the most recent.

 

Damn looks great! My first Tacoma was white. Had it 7 yrs. and loved it. Looked for another white one but couldn’t find one so I got MGM. I see it says you are in South Florida. You anywhere near the Sarasota area by chance?

 

No sir further south near lake o. I was in Bradenton for 8 years.

 

Oh cool. Well truck looks great and thanks for the info

 

I started a thread for my planned trip to Overland Expo East followed by the Georgia Traverse for November 7th - 15th or 16th.

Question, for you guys. I know nobody would ever run anything but that nice cherry red Toyota coolant around here, but if you had to run something different in a pinch, what would you run?

I'm thinking about the upcoming Richloam trip and if I grind another hole on my radiator with the fan going though deep water, I'm not sure I wanna waste my $30 bottle of Toyota coolant, so I'm thinking about running either plain distilled water tainted with whatever red coolant is left hiding in the engine or using a cheaper sacrificial coolant which will be flushed out after the trip and the cherry red stuff put back in either the current radiator if it survives or the spare one I have if I have t put that one in.

 

I've never run anything but prestone.... Idk why the majority of people are against it.

 

The orange dex-cool stuff?
