Ride is a little stiff. I threw my box full of tools in the bed to add a little weight and soften up the ride, it's driving pretty smooth now. Thinking of removing a leaf in the future, I heard the ride is not as stiff, just don't want to go through the pain of installing the leafs again

 

Grab some sand bags and throw them back there. That will help a lot. Keep all your weight towards the tailgate. It will help soften the ride and get the leaves to settle faster.

 

Just placed a quick order for a few and picking them up during lunch. Went with 4 50lb bags... should that be ok?

 

Perfect

 

definitely riding a lot nicer now!

 

Nice!

 

Just don't lose one while wheeling hard . Strap those suckers down haha.

 

Nice looking build! You from 808?

 

Sorry so late.. lol... yeah man... from Oahu but living in AZ right now

 

Whats up TW... been MIA for a bit making big boy moves and spending that big boy money. Now that all is said and done with purchasing our first home, time to put more focus back on my truck! Haven't done any upgrades or mods since my last mod which was my rear suspension, I did however hit up some sweet trails at Anza-Boreggo and Sedona with my brother and his beautiful FJ. Here are couple of pictures for your viewing pleasure:

 

Sweet build!

 

After much compilation, busting my head every month, and nagging my wife on whether to upgrade to a 4x4 or not, I finally gave in and sold my beloved 2010 PreRunner TRD OR. Although I loved my truck, after reading and reading and more reading, I was convinced that I would never be fully satisfied with 2wd for what I want to do and it didn't make sense to throw more money at something that didn't fulfill my needs. With that being said, RIP old buddy.

This is how she sat before I brought her back to stock. I was able to keep everything except the sliders, tires, and wheels.


Here is the new rig. 2008 Toyota Tacoma DCSB TRD Off Road 4x4 102K miles.



Went from stock to almost trail ready in 10 days.
Put on my Icon fronts, ADS/OME rears, and Pelfreybilt Bumper 2 days after purchasing (27 Jan 2018).
Threw on new wheels and 285/75/16 Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws on yesterday (06 Feb 2018).
Should be getting sliders this week if everything goes right.

 

Looking good brotha!
