The screen name comes from a previous gray truck...

 

Earlier this year while cruising down I-95, a truck in front of me kicked up a piece of plywood and the Tacoma took it edge on ...



So I got the bumper cover replaced without issue, but my LF headlight housing is not right. Just recently the vertical alignment now does not work. So, I did the rational thing and ordered a new set of OEM headlights, the new Moromoto Mini 4.0 Projectors, and will put together a new retrofit.

 

My original lift installed in 2010 was a Icon C/O, Bilstein 5100 Rear and Camburg Uniball UCA. After 6 years and a little under 50k miles it was worn out, so a couple weeks ago I picked up the Icon C/Os with Reservoirs and the Bilstein 5160 (with Reservoirs) to go with a new JBA ball joint UCA. The Camburg uniball UCA worked OK, but really only lasted about three years in NE/Mid-Atlantic winters. Alignment tomorrow.

 

How high are your ICONs cranked? I just went from 275 to 285 tires and wanted to know how much more I can go. I never took measurements at stock, so I'm not sure how much more I can go. Do you mind measuring how much of the coilover treads are exposed.

 

I have 1.5 in. of exposed thread, and that puts me at level front to back.

 

I ended up with over 3 degrees of caster, but also -0.8 deg of camber on one side because one of the cam bolts is stuck.

 

Nice truck!!!!

 

Thanks, I'll get some new pics up once I get the new lights built and installed (light wise it should look about the same though).

 

Black out that piece of the radiator that stands vertical on the left side. Will help hide it behind that sweet grill

 

I know what you mean, but I kinda like the purposeful look of it, form follows function to a degree.

 

You talking to me? lol
