    Nothing new with the tacoma but I was able to run some of the rubicon this past weekend on the poker run with my dad in his jeep.

    Very nice!

    Are those zip-ties holding your license plate to the front bumper?

    Gonna be throwing these on this weekend. Picked up these donahoe racing coilovers about two months ago they just got a full rebuild at rock and road performance with all new icon parts. Also have a set of Camburg upper control arms to put on as well.

    It's hard to tell in the pic, but make sure you have a snap-ring on the topside of the uniball adapter that presses into the spindle/knuckle. Also flip the orientation of the 5/8 bolt going through the uniball so you have more clearance with the head of the bolt being thinner than the stover lock nut.

    Thanks for the advice. Took the picture before I had the snap ring in yet. And I'll make sure to flip that bolt around!

    Great looking truck! Did I see you had some work done by Rock and Road in Loomis? I searched by them and your thread came up. Looking for a source for sliders for my gen 2 and hoping for a sac region local source. Thanks for any info.

    Yes they were some cool guys I'm sure they could build you a set of rock sliders pretty easily after seeing some of the stuff in their shop. You can also look at califabrication I believe their located in Carmichael.

    Did a short camping trip over the weekend up by the rubicon. Did an easy little off road run through the wentworth springs entrance of the rubicon.

    They are really nice, they look aggressive. Done great off road so far I've ran some of the rubicon and some snow runs so far and there holding up great, I really like them. I think there a better option over the km2's my dad has. Even with the truck not being aligned all the time they've been wearing pretty well after 10,000 miles.
