BIG ISLAND HI Thread

A picture down south point I took before I left miss home lol

 

SWEET!

I would go supercharger..... I wanted to go bigger lift, but I think the supercharger would be more bang for the buck...literally!

 

When do you head out? Tell the "Ne" I said hello, you can PM me if you like me check anything out on my end...

 

Will do
Thanks man, just sent my letter out to Senator Tulsi....see how it turns out

 

Supercharger is the way to go IMHO

 

I think so too, it's less common

 

dave: did you by chance sell your stock lug nuts when you sold the sport rims?

 

Yes I did I'll look to see if I have any others

 

Looks Good

 

Go with the supercharger! Your truck already looks sick with your current setup

 

Does anyone know a good dealership to buy a brand new Tacoma from?

 

Big Island Toyota. Are you moving here?

 

Thanks! I lived in kona last year but my boy just relocated to Hilo to start the fire academy and is looking to get a Tacoma.

 

i keep getting the question...whats a good lift to get(drop bracket) and where's a good place to order it from.
I never looked into any db lifts and I keep suggesting coilovers and stay around 4"s.

help from any big islers?

 

you going ramble and use the truck to its FULLEST truck potential, get a good set of coilovers and a leafpack. not to say that you cant do all those truck things with a drop bracket, cause you can. its cheaper to go with a coilover and leaf pack setup than it is to go dropbracket.

 

Well, I remember icons being around $1700 so all shipped and done should be about $2k? ucas...$600-700. new rear leaf pack...$6-900 depending on how high and shipping.
Ofcourse there's other coilovers but I told em eventually no matter how he goes, gonna need maintenance later. The trucks gonna be used as a daily driver with the understandment of getting to places to camp/surf...but most likely not gonna see what I put mine thru.
what do db's go for?

 

micah at DSM can get you a discount on coilovers, my ext travels were 1600 shipped

UCA's are all around 5-600
SDHQ can get you good prices on icons too

AP leaf pack packages are 500

what are you looking to do?


DB lifts look great but leave the front diff vulnerable to rocks

 

Whats micahs s/n here? I think I have him on ig....rebuilds c/o's n stuff?
whos sdhq?

All pros for $500? expos? hmm, I need a set for my truck...but I thought it was like $900 to my door?


cody, its not for my truck but from what I understand, get it a lil higher is what they want but maks/waipio is what im thinking theyre doing. It's my brothers gf's new truck and theyre not into off roading like you and I are...they just wanna get to some places. I think drop bracket would be fine...its driver that will matter more. I still like the idea of coilovers and uca's, but I wish I could go higher with my saws.

 

Ahh, I see.

DB's are usually around 2k, depends on the "sets" you get with them; like if you get just a big spacer to use the stock stuff, or if you get longer coilovers and UCA's with the DB

the AP kits are around $600 for the full kit for 2nd gens, IIC- Im not too sure on 2nd gen kit pricing

but the expos are $460 for 2nd gens, they worked out a deal with their freight guys so they lowered their shipping down a bit

My expos+shocks was around $250 for shipping; it was originally going to be around $500-600

micah's the guy behind "Downsouthmotorsports"

SDHQ's an offroad vendor on here too
