Black 2014 DCSB TRD Offroad Build .... Pics

Bought my Black TRD off road 4x4 in 2014 brand new

As of one month ago, I finally added the following @ 14K miles on the vehicle

-OME 885 coils (without top place spacer) + OME Nitrogen shocks (soft ride 90021) front and rear + Toytec Rear AAL
-Method NV Black 17" Wheels (no additional backspacing)
-Wrangler Duratrac tires 255/75/17
-Tinted front windows to mach rears​

OME LIFT
Purchased my lift online from Toytec. Paid 100$ for shock assembly @ Toytec, and had a buddy help me install in my driveway (took about 3 hours). Installation was smooth, except the bolts Toytec includes to bolt the AAL with the existing leaf is too long to fit under the bump stop and requires a saw to cut. Had to drill a bit out of the bump stop above to make room for the bolt.

Ended up at 2.5" of front lift, and 2 inches in the rear. Still has a slight rake, but less than factory.

Overall the OME Kit feels awesome... Ride is amazing, much better than stock. At low speeds, it feels slightly smoother than stock, but at high speeds, it's like driving on clouds. You can hit dips going 40MPH and float over like it wasn't there.

TIRES + WHEELS
After the lift, drove to discount tire and had them install tires & wheels. The 255/75/17 Duratracs fit great. Had to remove the small plastic fender below the front bumper (not the front mud flaps), but other than that, zero rubbing. These tires are 32", but slightly narrower than the more common tire sizes on here. Had an alignment done about a week later, which came out within standard. I do not think new UCAs will be necessary with this size tire/lift.

The Method NV's are awesome. Their zero backspace option sticks out about an inch further than stock. Not too far out, but a little past flush with the fenders. If you are considering 16" vs 17"... I really dig the look of 17" with this style wheel.

If I actually measured the MPG, I'm sure it is less than stock, but I haven't noticed a difference on daily driving. A full tank seems to last just as long as it had before. A lot of this may be because the Duratracs only weigh 44lbs per tire vs. the stock BFGs which weigh 38lbs.




Front window tint to match rear

 

I have the same truck in stock but yours looks really good.

 

very nice !

 

Thanks guys!

 

Very nice! I keep thinking about OME for the Jeep. Taco is staying stock unless the sugar momma says otherwise.

 

Thanks, I couldn't be happier with the OME lift, awesome kit for the money

 

She(Tacoma)looks real good!Congrats!

 

Very nice! Thanks for sharing. Appreciate all the details as well.

 

Beautiful. I'm considering pulling the trigger on Method NV's in 16x8 right now. Already replaced the stock Dunflops with Michelin M/S2's @ 16". So switching to a 17" rim would mean new tires. Not sure that pencils out for me right now!

 

Can you let me know what type of lugnuts you went with for the NV wheels?
