1 ton first gen Tacoma

Nice ya you don’t need room just for dogs but boxes as well so a flat bed would work good

 

Those driveline pics help you buddy it was expensive to have them built but wanted to not use adapters

 

Finally got rear end all grinded and front all painted looks better

 

Wonder what our trucks are worth price wise if we had them for sale just curious

 

I got a cheesburger!

 

Crazy seeing just stock prerunners sale for 10k

 

Hey man been super busy!
But yeah those pics helped a bunch. I may even look into replicating your setup in the end? Not sure yet.
Also was curious if you’ve had any issues with your trac bar contacting your axle at all with this kit?
And if when in 4x4 wheeling, does your steering go to hell lol? Cause mine does! (Hydro here I come)
I’ve often wondered the same.... cause like you said, people are selling stock ones for gold mines. They are few and far between setup like ours as well.

 

Steering radius sucks cock cause that’s a typical Ford front end turning radius of a semi but track bar has never hit once flexed out nothing I don’t want full hydro or assist cause for driving on road it’s shit when it decides to go one way your going that way quick I love my setup but the radius of turning is junk other than that it’s a going machine

 

Very good to know, and compare with yours!
And yeah I agree with turning radius! Limited mine so brakes lines and such wouldn’t hit.
But I’m having a hard time with my trac bar hitting/bottoming out on abrupt bumps. Trying to decide my method of madness to fix it.
(I’m still confused on how well you say yours rides and operates with your kings and barely any preload. I’ve got mine turned down a lot and still having issues.)

 

What trac bar are you talking about the steering bar I only have steering bar moog adjustable sleeve and the pan hard bar with the radius arms

 

What bar your steering trac bar I bought a moog adjustable one about 3 inches thick it doesn’t hit at all and your ride without my dual stabilizers my truck wanted to shake me out of the truck

 

That bds dual stabilizer is the fucking cats meow no shit my tires aren’t even balanced on these beadlocks and it’s drives like brand new no shimmy nothing and the kings without the preload even hardly set down it’s like riding on a pillow it’s nuts man kings are expensive but I believe in them

 

Yeah I’m talking about the pan hard. I must have it slightly in the wrong spot I guess causing that issue.
But surprisingly mine drives perfect without any stabilizer. Ive got the Nitto trail grappler, 40s. And with some procomp wheels and balance beads it’s perfectly fine. I have no steering wobble.
I’m not happy with my foxs, through accutune they were all roughly the same price, I only chose mine because I didn’t want the odd blue under my truck. (That didn’t pay of lol)
I’m gonna call and see what they say today. Maybe my springs just aren’t the right setup. I’m kinda new to the coilover world.

 

What’s your spring rates my coils are 250 over 300

 

Brand of shocks doesn’t matter. Has to do with what weight and size springs your using. Get it weighed on all 4 corners and either do the math or call accutune for new springs.
If your getting death wobble or a steering shake, something is wrong. Most likely something is not tight. Stabilizers are just a bandaide.
And hydro assist is night and day difference on 35s for me. Can’t imagine wheeling something on 40s without it.
And your pan hard issue, did you cycle the suspension before welding it in?

 

Ya in my case it was the bias ply tires without balancing

 

I agree with all you said. I’m playing with my preload and progressive spring stops to up my weight under compression. Cause I had them all the way up.
But it doesn’t hit when cycling, only when hitting an aggressive bump in road or bouncing down a gravel road and hit a hole.
(Which all translates to improper spring weights/ lengths, or improper coilover setup on my part with preload and such.
Also, how do you like your hydro assist on the road. And what setup did you use?

 

No complaints about my hydro assist. Last setup was psc pump with psc Ram on Toyota box. New is the psc pump Ram and a jeep tj big bore psc box. It’s not twitchy. It’s more like driving a modern car and you don’t notice the big tires. Like I said before, I can’t imagine wheeling and having the front locked and trying to steer without hydro assist.

 

Ya I got allot of buddies with the full hydro and just hydro assist they asked me same thing why I don’t go with it my truck on snow or ice it’s fine driving with front end locked on pavement no and I don’t rock climb so should never have my truck in 4wd on any dry terrain I could see that being needed if I were to rock crawl
