Thinking about going topper less for a bit for change

 

Here is mine! OME 883s with Dakars. I have been a long time reader, but this is my 1st post. She has served me well over the last 5 yrs, and I will miss her! I have listed her on an online auction site. Wish her farewell!

 

2" lift according to original owner, not sure of the brand. Just need bigger tires now.

 

Link? I might be looking to snag one like this.

where did you get the tailgate tire carrier?

 

Wilco off road. prerunner.
I was notified that they don't manufacture 1st gens anymore.

Not sure why the price is so high, I paid about $1000 for mine a few years ago.

Its a swingout. Its also reversible.

 

Thanks
That's a bummer. Per the website, they only make them for 05 and up Tacomas.

 

Yea. It's a great product.

 

Low range and another well known off road company used a picture of my truck without my consent for years to promote the item.

By the time I found out about it, they had discontinued them.
Where they got the picture is a mystery.
Either from TW or my FB page.

 

That's a trip!
I'm surprised they would do that. Makes you wonder about all the other advert images on their websites....

 

What the hell is that? Like did you not read the title of this thread? It literally says 1st Gen in the title

 

Leaf springs were in great shape. With the setup it sat about 1in higher in the rear without the shell and about 0.5in higher with the shell and some of my gear. And yes Bilstein 5100s on all 4 corners. Great set up in my opinion if you're on a budget. I shopped around for a bit to find the best deals and I got everything I needed for around $400.

 

Thanks for the response. I was thinking about doing the AAL, but my leaf springs are starting to flatten out already, I'm not sure if it's due to my shell or age. My buddy told me to just run the AAL with the stocks even if they are worn, but I was skeptical, hence why I asked.
