What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

I already have 620lb coils. The bumper is going to make the ride so much better haha

 

yes it will actually..

 

Getting steel means you just need to get the Icons so you can adjust the ride height you want to the weight...

 

Some day... Haha

 

ive got 650# coils on my SAWs :] gonna be so soft!

 

not sure if this is really the best thread for this.. pretty new to forums. 20% off, if i could only get 1 relentless fab item to start out with what to choose; sliders or front bumper?

 

I say sliders, little more functional to me.

 

If you're on a stock suspension, I'd go with sliders.

Reasoning is two-fold:

1. Your truck won't handle the weight of the front bumper well and you'll notice it in the driveability.

2. If you off road and you're on a stock suspension, you'll appreciate the sliders.

yea sliders for sure.

even if you have coils to support a bumper. Sliders will be way more useful offroad.

 

Yup, did this. Then bought sliders haha They've kept me from destroying my rockers and bed multiple times.

 

bumper, cant pas up 20% off of a bumper. sliders are relatively cheap compared to a bumper

 

Very true as well. I recommend sliders from 4xinnovations. It cost me $245 shipped.

 

i didnt realize they were that cheap. make some bolt on brackets to go with it and youre all set

 

^ my thoughts exactly.. so i have read on here that suspension upgrade is pretty necessary along with the bumper. i would plan to do a suspension lift and upgrade suspension at the same time if i did the bumper. im sure people on here have done this, looking for info. can anybody point me to some good info on it?

I have 700 springs on my Kings. Rides nice with bumper. winch. sliders and no swaybar...

 

If you're going to (and able to) drop that much coin at once... why not do both a bumper and sliders?

 

get adjustable coilovers. one time purchase. fully rebuildable, change the ride height as needed, and they are bad ass

 

i need to take my sway bar off, maybe this weekend when i change the oil
