MARYLAND TACOMAS

Well I know this isn't apples and apples, but on my 4Runner I have 5100's up front with Tundra springs, Tokico shocks out back with OME 861's. The Tokicos are softer and I think behave better than the 5100's but that's just my personal experience. I don't know what they'd be like on a Taco. So far, these OME springs are proving themselves to be insanely awesome to me. I took out LC80 springs which were, compared to the 861's, much softer and bouncier.

 

Never needed one. Original equipment BAYBEEEEEE

No rust here chief. Get rekt.



I h8 mud

 

How even...

 

Sweet, that’s all good to know. I appreciate all the info. I guess my only question is if the ride would be stiffer with the OME
springs compared to the stock springs.

 

Happened on chance. Bought a single bronze first.

Thank you! Posted it in a bash thread and received no bashing, only praise. Guess thats good

 

Wow yeah no bashing on TW? That is extremely hard to come by lol

 

Or a roast thread? Its too early for me

 

Yeah I knew what you meant lol

 

Its gonna settle a little bit too.

i’m shocked how much mine has settled in the past 10k miles. It definitely is enough for me to need another alignment….she’s pulling to the right again anyway

 

He needs to jump it. Gotta find some train tracks

 

Literally have not seen you since except maybe once in traffic I think….

 

I know some of you guys are avid craigs listers; I am not. Can anyone tell me if this seller looks legit?

I need a full size spare but I’m skeptical of a brand new Wildpeak for $100.

 

So with Tokico shocks and OME springs, I have a nice firm but very comfortable ride in the rear. It's eating up bumps in the road and train tracks like nobody's business. I absolutely love it. Like seriously love it. I think it's the perfect combination. As for the front, I don't know if I have many options to really dial that in the way I'd like to, but it's performing fine enough, I guess?

I think it's safe to say with the 5100's and an OME spring, you'll likely yield a stiffer ride altogether. I'd venture to say stiffer than what my experience is like right now. You gotta think, the 5100's are a shock designed for on and off-road performance so naturally it would want to be stiffer to get better performance. It just depends on what you want as far as daily driving and whatnot, that's even IF you DD the Taco.

 

Ya it's been a minute. Can't miss me in my Limo now LOL

 

Looks good to me! Go for it. Chantilly is near me. Let me know if you want me to pick it up and hold (you pay though)

or let's get a mini meet going. Thats how it used to be. Picking up parts/mini meet

 

Yeah that definitely all makes sense. I’m for sure expecting a stiffer ride with the 5100’s. I do DD my truck and that’s why I haven’t done anything crazy to it yet. I may just stick with the stock springs when I get the bilsteins.

 

I did yesterday. It ate those tracks up. Didn't even activate VSC.

 

Absolutely brother

I literally use FB only for following gunshops and shopping on marketplace. Its worth it, unfortunately.

 

So what’s the honest deal with everyone and SCS wheels? I’m highly confused… from what I’ve researched in my wormhole of wheel shopping, they are made in Taiwan… only use a single stage paint, which owners say chips if you look at it too hard… are never in stock… customer service has bad reviews… warranty coverage has bad reviews as well… and they cost as much if not more than some of the other bigger contenders.

Don’t get me wrong, they are beautiful wheels, I’d love a set of Gen 5’s in white… but just can’t seem to get past all the CONS.

 

I just think they’re the the best looking wheel I’ve ever seen. I know that’s highly subjective but I love the way they look. Almost like artwork to me haha.
