GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Awesome, thanks for the info, if @KaptainH doesnt have them, I will contact him or order off Amazon depending on whats cheaper.

 

I am unsure as well. Ill see if i cant find a part number on the rear shocks as well. I think im happy with my rear articulation? Not sure how much that will change with a new leaf pack though.

 

I think OME sells a rear leaf pack with your combo lift anyways so you are probably already good to go there as it was designed to work with a rear lift spring pack or aal.

 

Honestly I'd just get newer springs all around, keep your OME shocks as I think they're the best lowest tier option. Not 100% up to snuff on the spring rates for the front but it seems you've gotten that covered from others on here. For the rear just get a medium pack as you don't have a RTT/Campershell so you don't need too much extra weight, but you can always add the AAL for it down the road. I'm doing the same on mine as well

Eh most of the people who are rebuilding them are out west and use the shit out of them, I've had Kings for a few years and haven't needed to rebuild them.

 

I see what youre saying. Once i pull the PN ill be able to see for sure.

 

Cool stuff, Ill see if i cant source the medium pack now that I've got the front squared away. Then just confirm what i have currently and ill make the order more than likely!

Yeah actually you have a great point.

 

So just glanced at the setup, I have 60091 OME shocks in the rear and 90021 shocks up front. I don’t know what the springs are though as I am unable to locate a PN for either front or rear. I did find this online, maybe these are the springs it has?

 

Sounds legit

 

Thought you guys would get a kick out of one the bday cards I gave my gf today.

Cats and Lasers!!!

 

@Gilmorec61 Go with that advice. 886's on the front, get a Dakar Medium pack from Headstrong Offroad for the rear. You'll be set.

 

Gonna start taking pointers and love advice from ya

 

So crazy! I got a similar one for my fiancé! Lmao!

 

@Gilmorec61 also going to recommend the Dakar pack in the rear. With the heavy duty pack I can have my rtt/ rack plus about 300 pounds of photo equipment and I never get a bro lean or bottom out.


Just make sure you get silicone bushings for the leaf pack. I opted out when I installed mine and those squeaks are a painful reminder of my decision.

 

My medium pack never made a squeak, once I added the leaf the make it a heavy..lots of squeeqing..also got some spacers to quiet them just haven't got to putting them in. Bike chain lube works pretty good though..lol

 

My pack squeaked like crazy between the leafs, even with the spacers. So I bought some lead spring liners and put them inbetween the leafs. Squeaks are permanently gone . Did it to test at first, eventually they’ll work their way loose and I will glue them in when they do. But they’ve been running just fine for the past 6 months or so.

 

BAMF 3rd Gen goodness.

 

I really wish they would do an Aluminum run on their 2nd Gen bumpers. Sucks that 2nd Gen is already losing love from manufacturers.

 

Others do if you aren’t set on BAMF. Pretty Demello does.

 

Welcome to the club! #FabYourOwn That's at least my end goal for skids, new bed rack and maybe a rear swingout bumper.

 

I hear ya! When I first got on TW 2nd Gen's dominated the home page. There was a bunch of aftermarket stuff available, different mods & how to's all geared towards the 2nd gen. I kinda felt bad for the 1st gen guys... now I know how they felt.
