Post your Lifted Double Cab Long Bed Tacoma's

How does the AAL ride? Looking to add some weight in the back of mine with a RTT and gear. Deciding if I can get away with an AAL for now or need to go full Dakars.

 

great lookin truck man! What beach is that? i'm on the west coast. Did you have any issues in 2wd on the sand or you got 4wd? My truck is almost identical expect I have a black softopper

 

Thanks man. That is the Fort Fish Recreational Area which was an old Civil War fort and home to a few battles. Is a really quiet spot in SE North Carolina.
The sand gets really deep and soft there so I have to be in 4x4 or I would get stuck for sure.

 

I think it rides fine with the stock spring pack. The back end doesn't jump around or anything. I don't know if it is a MUST that you change your stock shocks as well but I would think so.

 

This is what I want in my truck. What are your lift specs?

 

cool thanks for the info. Not many beaches on my coast that we can drive on.

 

Speaking of beach driving, first two pics are Cape Hatteras, NC, and then Corolla. Soft sand, definitely needed the 4x4 conversion.

 

3 inch Rough Country. 285/70/17 MT on stock sport rims.

 

Need bigger tires !!! ome bp-51 Dakars light racing

 

how did that conversion go? Nice truck

 

Thanks. Swapping the trans was the hardest part. It was worth it, but I wouldn't do it again, not in my driveway anyway.

On Kauai in spirit @Vanguard but rolling round OR for now.

 

Figured you had roots. Good looking truck! Wish I could take my truck stateside and go exploring.

 

ajohnson, what size meat are you running? Do you experience any rubbing?
