    When I saw your first couple photos, I figured it had been sitting around outside from all the rust/pitting on the mating faces.

    What is it?

    What's sweet bologna?

    @buyobuyo I didn't care for the bird cage (think that's what they're called) flash suppressor and thought those style may not be conducive for good accuracy, so got bored and made one. I could have just made a thread and muzzle protector too.
    Oh, and it didn't help any with accuracy far as I could tell, but wasn't expecting a whole lot out of a $75.00 pencil barrel anyway.
    It shoots 1.5 - 2 inch 5 shot groups at 100 yards consistently.

    Must keep us informed; all the details before and after measurements, spring type and clip setting etc. I've been toying with the idea of new front coils and billstein's but pre assembled from Low Range Off Road. Just the minimum amount of lift which I believe would be 1.5" on a 2017 Sport. Then I can add a block to the back to keep the way it sits now.

    Heres the deals/coupons thread I picked these up from.
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/baja-suspension-kit.716330/
    looks like there’s some info in there with results. Of course the ride height on 3rd gens is a little different than that on 2nd gens.
    Still need to shop a new leaf pack and decide on UCAs while gathering other fresh suspension bushings/components. So this will be a slow process and not really a priority to get installed right now. Although I didn’t want to let the deal slip by and I really have this strange thing about keeping certain components OEM.

    I’m sure you guys will get an update when I get things figured out and installed!

    I just searched, looks like there is one about 125 miles away.
    Irony, I was close to it when I went to DuBois last week to get the latest non-running Wisconsin engine. :annoyed:

    Guess I better find another engine to buy in that direction. :crazy:

    Vending guys put in what is convenient for them - has nothing to do with what you want.

    Somewhere there are statistics that show vending machine customers will buy something they don't want rather than leave empty handed.

    This allows vending guys to have a large box of DILLIGAF on the truck at all times.
