Supercharger

Sounds like a great list of upcoming... Can't wait to see it done!

 

Mod list looks awesome...definitely looking forward to seeing this all come together!

 

Subbed you should consider the defined engineering rear LT over just bolt on allpro leafs. You would get enough travel to keep up with that front end.

 

Hmm that sounds tasty. I like might go that direction. But my one and only concern is towing. The All Pro rear will help me out when towing. A long travel rear is a must for dune chucking, but I'm a rock crawler trail junky so I a soft rear end is not needed and when I tow my boat it will bottom that soft rear out. What do you think?

 

From what I understand the defined kit yields higher load carrying capabilities

Mmmm nice I will call them tomorrow

 

Yeah austin... mike the owner of defined is legit... you definitly wont regret putting his kit on.. plus that expo pack would lift the back way to much i think.. youd have to crank the c/o's up too much and lose downtravel and ride like crap..

 

Have you double checked that the urd tcai will work with the trd s/c? Im pretty sure they dontwork together.

 

I knew it might take some work, but after more research it is not worth it waiting for the TRD/AFE to come out next month as my sources say

 

I've called TRD and they have no release date for TRD CAI....you have an update by chance?

Good looking 2012! Really digging the wheel and tire combo. Do you have any major problems getting those 275/70-18s to fit with those BBS wheels?...spacers? Also, how do they ride....isnt that size made for heavier trucks?

 

They fit fine. Only problem I had was rubbing on drivers side but that's because I forgot to set the drivers side 1/3 inch taller. Like AllPro suggests. fox forgot to mention that part. No problem though only small rub and spanner wrenches are on thee way as we speak. No this is a LT tire just like most other Toyo Open country MTs

 

Project compleated so
Sold the Truck

 

I wish i was lucky enough to find a sport hood

 

Did not find it bought it and had it painted
