Calling all Virginians (Tidewater area)

I plan on doing some welding myself mainly fo me though.

 

Ok, so this next question is really out there however I got to ask. I had to take the wife to PA yesterday and while driving there and back she continually reminded me she can hear the road noise (more now since the 3" lift was installed) more than she could with my prior vehicle which was an 03 Chevy Avalanche raised 3" also. Just to give you an little info.. she has and still wants me to get another avalanche rather than the tacoma. So now for the question.. Anyway to deaden or reduce the outside road noise? I really dont want to turn the radio up but so loud lol. my guess is "it is what is" with the noise. Its really not bad however any help would help. Told ya it was out there..lol

 

Lol...mine is loud as well..best solution is sound deadening material like dynamat...linwood did his truck and just tapping on our roofs u can hear the difference

 

Thanks for the info..I'll get in touch with him

 

hmm, sliders.

 

Weathertech digital fits ordered

 

There are a couple of things that make a huge difference.

1) tires. Some are noisier than others.
2) sound deaden the doors, floor pan, roof. It's a PITA but the difference can be huge.
3) tell her to drive her own car. AKA trade in the wife instead of the truck....

I'm sure she means well, but there were reasons why you left the Chevy and bought a taco.

 

love mine

 

That ARB on CL is a great deal! it's 500 OBO - or best offer. Might be able to scoop it for 300.

Look at mine Color Matched.

 

for the guys who have 285/75R16 or equivalent tires. preferably 1st gens but 2nd gens may still help. if i get a set of 5, will the spare be able to mount under my bed? or its it too big? just dont know if it will have enough space down there.

also, do 2nd gen factory coil springs fit 1st gens?

 

Ohhhhh gigity! I need sliders ASAP...watch MXMatt drop his rockers right on a rock Saturday and know these are my next buy.

 

I couldnt get it to fit on mine, I have KM2's that are 285/75R/16.

Who is the maroon DCLB on NOB with a tacomworld sticker?

 

Need help installing this bad boy! Any takers? Got a 24 pack of milly light waiting for you!

 

I heard you can fit it underneath but you have to do some trimming down there!! Oh SNAP, Just buy my wheels and tires so I can get some new rubber!

 

Question,

who did your regearing? And what ratio did you go with? Do you have aftermarket skids and plates? If so are they bud built? You were hittin those rocks like a BOSS! Take a sip of this drank right here!

 

dont think so unless you take off the metal pieces next to where the tire goes, at least thats how it is on a 2nd gen. have burry make you a tiregate

 

Anyone install AALs before? Got my wheeler 3 pack aal coming Friday and would like to install it this weekend while the temps are up in the 60s. Will reward you for assistance!

 

ECGS did gears, 4.56 ratio and i believe ato skids. i lurked Linwoods build back in the day
