My only concern would be mixing Digressive fronts with linear or progressive rears. I don't know if that would make it handle awkwardly. Then again, the rear is already a bit bouncy.

Edit: any idea what the expected lifespan is on 6112s?

 

I have to keep the credit cards locked up for awhile.

 

Seems they all have rebuild intervals in the 30-40k range.. same for non rebuildables.

 

Might make the truck feel a tad odd esp at speed when hitting whoops and such.

I do need to take my Foxes off and get them to @AccuTune Offroad for a rebuild/revalve.... if I was smart I would have put the icons on puddle jumper while sending the foxes in....


As far as lifespan goes, it really depends on usage. I've seen billy 5100s fail at 30,000 miles on wannabe desert race trucks, and I've also seen them clear 100k on mall crawlers.

 

I sure hope that's wrong. Otherwise, I'm about 30K overdue for shocks.

I think I fall somewhere in the middle.

From what I read this morning so far, anywhere from 50-100K is typical, so I better get ready to buy something soon.

I'm definitely going to have to do something within the next year. I'll have to start pricing out my options. I was hoping budget wouldn't be the deciding factor on my next set, but it ultimately might be.

 

If anyone wants one of those, slightly discounted and a bit rougher, I came across the one below searching for cars in the desert close to my parents place. Had to have a talk with myself that it's not what I need right now LOL!

I want to add black TRD wheels to the new tacoma. Where is the best place to buy them?

 

Where are you located? I've got a guy at East Madison Toyota.let me know if you want a quote

 

I am in Hudson area on the border but could make a weekend drive this winter. I would need the rims, hub covers, and black lug nuts.

 

I was going to ask my dealer tomorrow as well when I pick it up.

 

Ask nicely for 10% over cost and they might just give you that price

Edit: ask the parts department, NOT your sales person

 

I will give that a shot. Otherwise I have a good friend that works in LA at the big toyota dealer but the shipping will kill me. Also picking up the new truck tomorrow I did topper right away already kicking myself wishing I would of just ordered a Alu-cab canopy camper... Old man goes to me last night want to do a month road trip next year up the Dalton... Well might be selling the topper faster than I thought.

 

Give it the old bounce test. If your truck settles immediately, I wouldn't worry about getting new shocks.

And the Lord have mercy on your soul If you get locking lug nuts. I will hunt you down and cut them off of your truck.

 

Lol no fucking chance I would get those....

 

Correct. Because I will hunt you down if you did.

 

Ha. Really getting the itch to sell the harley this winter to buy a canopy now..

 

Also meant to ask you what should a guy do for suspension I dont want any crazy lift on it just something that a big upgrade that will be able to handle the weight and a canopy if I do one next year.

 

Up in Boulder junction for probably the final camping weekend my buddies rented a cabin but that is way too pricey and fancy for me and I like camping so here we are This place is 100% empty aswell! Dual Sport ride tomorrow, it's gonna be gorgeous out
