Pensacola Area Taco's

Yea, back in Oregon, sliders were a must. Paid for themselves many times over.

 

Where was that trail in daphne located?

Cool, thanks

 

It looks like that is right down the road from eastern shore toyota. Would be fun to take a new taco on a "test drive" there.

 

Haha hell yea!

 

Does anyone have any experience with Deaver leaf springs or that type of spring?

 

I installed my own AllPro Expo leaf pack. What kind if experience are you asking about?

 

I'm still trying to sell a front end skid plate that I picked up before I left Oregon. Let me know if you are interested.

I guess I'm just trying to find the best spring for a DD and weekend wheeler. I've been doing a lot of reading and I'm kind of leaning away from deaver. How hard was it to install the springs?

 

Pretty easy actually. It was made even easier having my buddy help who had done it before but made more difficult because I also did a shackle flip that required boring out rivits in the frame.

 

I've seen this posted here before.

With this said, I have the Deaver AAL and it's been fine for me. Then again they are just gap fill till I get the OME Dakars.

 

How do your AllPro ride? and how much did you pay for them? Will the skid plate fit a 1st gen?

 

They ride really smooth. I obviously sit a bit higher in the back, which meant front suspension too. The ride especially smooth when I'm hauling something. The Expos go for $450, while their Standards are $420 which don't sit as high as the Expos and don't ride as well with a load.

Skid plate is 2nd Gen only

(Edit: expos have more lift than standard)

 

$450 isn't bad at all. I just sent off a e-mail to Alcan springs about a custom build for what I'd use it for. I have an add a leaf in right now just for lift purposes, I have a 2 1/2 inch lift. I'm just looking at something a little softer in the rear.

 

Expos may not be for you then. They are stiffer but like I said, perform better with a load on them.

 

EODTRD- I saw the same video while I was researching. That and other things turned me away from Deaver.

 

Kriskross- Pay it forward and help with install?

 

Definitely. When and where, brother?
