NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Not with 5100's. Unfortunately there's no "right" combination for a tire that large without probably 4.5" of lift. You're talking about a big tire on a wide wheel; you would need at least 3" of lift, and would still have a lot of cutting and trimming to do, including cab mount chop.

 

That's a completely different truck, you really can't compare them at all.

 

They are more of a tundra than a tacoma. My old one I could fit 285's under it without any lift and didn't rub at all. The wheel wells are so much bigger in those than tacomas

 

Took the new '14 out bone stock for the first time up to Timberwolf mountain. Truck conquered a reasonably steep rocky uneven trail without ATRAC or diff loc in 4 hi no problem haha
She's filthy for the first time and her offroad virginity has been taken!
Love my truck

 

Ok thanks everyone was a good deal so i though i would try i just want to get rid of the 20s and go with 18s ...

 

Did you rub at all with 275/55 with a stock suspension? Im looking at going with those for my next tire. Just feel like 265 is to skinny looking, but may change with my new wheels

 

No no rubbing issues at all

 

Anyone know the best and/or cheapest place to get a set of adjustable 5100's and a set of rear 5100's? I would go for Icon but they are a bit to pricey...

So when did bilstein come out with a rear adjustable shock? I mean I love it and just made my life easier but never heard anyone talk about them.

 

?

Although in theory you could run a coilover with a very light spring in the rear to add some lift, it's better to just get new leaf springs. Mostly because stock springs are so soft they axle wrap pretty easy, and aftermarket military wrapped springs don't wrap quite so bad.

 

On the chart it says lift from either 0-1.5 inches or a few other options for the rear. Plus also says "Front and rear Bilstein ride height adjustable shocks". Unless I am mistaking that for it meaning trucks that have 0-1.5 inches of lift in the rear?

 

It's for lifted rear end. You can't get a shock in the rear to lift the truck

 

Oh okay, thought it was to good to be true

 

Down south motor sports is the best place and cheapest that i found thats where i got mine and bought my aal from toytec

 

New here, I'm from southern California but will be south of Seattle for the next month or so. Looking to get out and do some wheeling.

 

Nice! Im hoping to do something in the beginning of september but there is the multi day trip coming up.

 

Nice truck, and even better username. We will be going on a trip mid august, check out the Lost Corner Exploration thread for more in. Post up more pics of your truck it looks beastly!

 

Anyone ever thought plastidiiping or wrapping their whole truck to prevent branch scratches etc?

Anyone know who in the yakima area would be best/ cheapest to install a lift kit?

 

Thanks! Unfortunately due to work I may not be able to make that but I will try my best. At least I'll join for a couple days maybe I'll post up in that thread.

I need to take some pictures when its clean.
