My 13Tacoma Build

Getting to my camp site along Clear Creek. Site was off of Chaffee County 390 in Colorado. Hwy 24 west from Buena Vista to Clear Creek Resevoir, turn left on 390.

 

From Cloyses Lake 4wd trail off of Chaffee County 390, North of Buena Vista CO. Wanted to go higher but the trail got narrow and wife was afraid.

 

Looking good! I too am lifted on stock rubber. Can't wait to change that. Are you going 285?

 

What kind of lift did you go with and how much lift did you get?

 

That is the plan. I think they are a good size for the Tacoma. Im not sure if I want to go with the stock rims though and get spacers or Rims/Tires.. Truck looks nice! I really like the charcoal/Dark Grey Metalic. Whatever they are calling it.

Since I was just going with a spacer upfront and block in the back I ordered a Kit from Ebay. Seller was offroaderjeff. 3" billet spacer upfront and 2" block in back. She sits pretty level. I hate to say it but I never took any measurements before the lift so I couldn't say what is actually gave me. I will take a measurement tomorrow of how she sits now...

 

MBRP Dual Exhaust installed. Took a quick vid with Iphone but won't let me upload file. I will try and take another one with digital camera.

 

Subscribed. Its always good to see pictures from back home. I was born and raised in Leadville, I've wheeled a lot in BV. I still have a house in Pueblo West, but I'm stuck in northern New Hampshire for work.

 

Blocksare bad they change ride and also look ugly from back. buy Baja kit and do a swap

 

How's the mbrp exhaust??? Worth the money? Any performance or just better sounding?

 

Blocks are fine if you just do street driving and mild offroading. And the Baja kit isn't worth it's price. You can get a full OME kit for less that the Baja kit and have a better riding suspension for less money.

 

I was hoping to do a little more camping and wheeling this summer then I did. Busy with work and schedule is opposite from wife so making time is tuff. I was born and raised on LI, NY. I miss the green but since moving out here its allowed me to pursue a career I wouldn't have been able to do in NY.

I really like it and it sounds great. I bought it through merchant on ebay. It cost me about $350. As to performance I feel like it gave me some but I have never had it on a dyno or anything like that.The only I don't like is the tail pipe section on the drivers side comes pretty close to the leaf spring on that side only.

 

Installed K&N CAI today! It is very load in the cab when you stand on it. All in all install went well. I just don't like where K&N remounts the smog pump. Going to try to find another location. Can smog pump be mounted slightly sideways or does it have to be flat/level? Will post pics tomorrow..

K&N CAI Installed...

 

I pulled the trigger on the BFG KM2's 255/85/16. They were delivered on the Thursday 6/5 and I had them installed on Friday. I am really happy with them so far. I really like the way they look. I was a little worried about the skinnier tire and how it would look.

 

Do you have any more pictures of the mbrp exhaust. Sounds really good and considering this myself.

 

Did you also get a full size spare (255/85/16) and does it fit under the bed without hitting anything?
