TacoMeSir's Appalachian Build

Sweet. Let me know if yall need an extra hand

 

Right on man! Thanks for the offer. I'll keep you posted for sure, you never know with our crew.

 

I got a question and wondering if you guys might be able to help me out here. I'm wondering when would be the best time to take the truck in for an alignment once everything is mounted up. It looks like there will be some settling with the Coilovers and could have to readjust the height once they settle. If I go ahead and mount my rubber tomorrow and put the suspension on this weekend will it screw up my new rubber waiting for it to settle while driving around? What are your thoughts/experiences?

 

TRS doesn't do any of the service, but I can for sure. I only do LS460Rs and Tacoma retrofits anyways.

 

Awesome! So how does the process work? Am I truck-less or is it wait while it's done? I'm not familiar with retro fits. I've always had cars with them already in place OEM.

 

Get a lifetime alignment deal from Firestone or the like. Take it in after suspension is done then go back after you adjust your coil overs.

Think I paid $180 for mine and used it 4 times in a year.

 

Thanks for the tip ckeene9! Appreciate it sir.

 

Got the 255's mounted on Stock Suspension. A little rubbing while turning but not that bad. Backing up can be violent though.

 

Front Clearance, Clarence.

 

Rear Clearance. No Rubbing daily driving in the rear but I bet she would talk to you off road though.

 

Off to start turning some wrenches on the Suspension now. More pics to come.

 

Have them bump your castor up to around 3*, it'll get it off the back side of the wheel well and keep from running backing up.

 

Right on man! Thank you for that info, I have been wondering this. It's looking like Monday will be alignment day.

 

Setup sounds super sweet! Can't wait to see pics of it all installed. Just curious, why did you buy a TX Pro, then end up using Kings/Dakars? Was it for the exhaust/wheels? Seems like a hefty price tag to end up ditching all the OEM suspension.

Edit: I just realized you bought her in 2012 and now it's 2014! Disregard earlier statement. Looks awesome!

 

Thanks! Yeah, when I was researching the truck I considered all the options it came with over the other trim packages and loved the way it looked white/black. It is fully loaded and considering the resale value with the rare trim package was a big factor to me. I knew going into it that the suspension would get canned and done right. Not to mention I have only seen one other T|X in Ga other than mine.

 

And you can remove this little flap. It took away my rubbing issue when backing up.

 

Dude! I was wondering if that was also rubbing. I have put maybe 15 miles on the tires and the witness marks are not fully visible yet. Thanks for that tip man! Yanking that today!

 

Yes get rid of that thing! Not sure what it's there for. I had to remove it after I lifted my front with 265s on because it was rubbing there when at full turn. Your truck certainly is unique, don't see a lot of the TX Pros around, even here in CA.

 

Man those 255 make that truck look mean.
