What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

tell us more about these struts.... I don't know about anyone else but this is the first time I've seen something like this for a tacoma application. any video of it in action on your truck?

 

I don't have any vids of them in action. BAMF is selling them for 2nd gens right now. I think he is working on a 1st gen kit.

You fill them with nitrogen to hold the rig up, so they are very tunable and you don't have the preload that you get when cranking up the collars on coilovers. The shaft is huge! but they take up less space because the body is smaller than the coil spring on a C/O.

They one thing I love about them right now is I have a lot less body roll than I did with my 886 coils on 5100's. It held practically level when I tore through some corners testing them out. I am still breaking them in as well as feeling them out before I officially review them, but so far they seem superior to C/O's.





You can kind of see here that I actually have one tire drooped and one tire stuffed while on close to level ground, which was next to impossible for me to do with C/O's.

 

Transported some pumpkins, lots of pumpkins, 5 bedfulls of pumpkins....

 

Interesting exchange. You were right, the old docs said 120. But what you both didn't comment on was the part#'s changed in the new docs (well many of them) a cross the top. So the question is, would the new torque be valid on an old part # , not listed.

 

I agree! Looks great! Something different too.

 

Looks good man^

 

Nice work Kase!!

 

Just did my first mod -silenced that damned seatbelt chime!!!

Thanks to the guy that posted that ^ and thanks in advance to all that post my next mods!

 

Over the holiday weekend I relocated my horns (only moved one and removed the other) relocated the temp sensor, installed BAMF light holder, finished and installed my OEM headlights with BHLM completed, and installed light bar.

 

very sexy ^

 

Thank you sir!

 

Removed & disassembled the blower motor in order to fix the chirp.
It's quiet for now...

 

Ordered up a lot of new goodies for Brutus. On the way are All Pro expo leaf pack, Icon extended travel remote resi front with cdc & 700# springs, Icon remote resi rears, Total Chaos uniball UCA's, and just put on Duratrac MT kevlars in 285/70/17

 

Just placed an order for a set of King 2.5 Rear R.R. from DSM

 

Copy cat I just ordered some 2.5" Kings on Friday but from SDHQ.

 

Truck looks good Matt!

 

Had the dealer install the Bilstein 5100's all 4. Everything worked out great. The rear is a little low. I have a 2013 TRD Sport. 4 pack, Do I need to put in a 1" spacer or will the front settle down to make it level. Now I need tires 265/70/17's I don't do any off road driving. I was looking at the new Goodyear All-Terrain ADV with Kevlar. What do you guys think.

 

Thanks!

What did you have them set the front at?

 

1.75

 

Drop it down to .85 or throw in AAL maybe.
