The Build​

Decided to sell my 1999 Tacoma



And picked up this 2011 Tacoma off of craigslist

I told myself I was going to leave it stock but after a few months I couldn't resist. I thought that maybe a leveling kit would satisfy my needs so I ordered the Bilstein 5100's and set them at 1.75" to level it off. I also Plasti Dipped the rims​

It sat a little nose high but i was content with it, for about a month. The urge to lift it wouldn't go away. I told myself to at least wait until the tires wore down before doing anything to it but I just couldn't wait. I ordered the Maxtrac Bundle from Headstrong Offroad and was able to install the lift myself thanks to all the tutorials on tacomaworld.​

Finished Product​

Thanks for looking

 

Nice looking rig ya got thar

 

Beautiful truck and great build.

 

Nice. Love the stance the maxtracs give. Looking at that same set up. I see your from oahu too. How much was shipping from headstrong down here? And how's the ride with the billies set at .85 with the spindles? Thanks bro.

 

Thanks guys

 

They quoted me $1650 for the whole kit shipped but was able to bring down the shipping price by taking out the Dakar leaf pack. So it was $908 for everything shipped and then picked up the Dakars at 4wheelparts for about $470. Received the stuff in 3 days from headstrong and great customer service. The ride is great with the billies, no problems.

 

That's a pretty good deal. Might go the same route as you and buy the leaf pack separate. Thanks for the heads up man.

 

Forgot to say I already had the billies. So that was for the spindles, brake lines, rear shocks, leaf pack bushings, carrier bearing drop, and extended ubolts

 

Where did u get um installed? Tryna go similar route.

 

Did it myself. I was going to have dhcustoms do it but he had a long waitlist. I think autocustoms has done some too.

 

dang, i know i'm debating if i should just try wrenchin um on.. Sic truck btw!

 

Thanks. Yeah if you have the right tools its not too bad

 

Yah man, I'd prefer to do it myself so I can save some cash and put a little experience under my belt. Whose rotary lift did you use? And compressed air!? Dang, I'm sure using that thing made the install way easier.

 

I have base access and they have shops you can rent a lift and borrow tools. You get? Everything went good except trying to get the rear leaf spring bolts in was a pain.

 

I do have access, but i never went before. They have spring compressors and stuff?

 

Yeah they have everything you need. I went to the one on Hickam and they even gave me a hand on stuff I wasn't sure about.

 

Oh sic! Barato, or no need?

 

Sick truck man! I was wondering, did you pass recon with your current wheel/tire setup? Or did you get it done with the stock wheels and tires?

 

Sick build, I wish we had a shop on base we could go to. We barely even have a px

 

Gotta put the fender flares on to pass recon
