MARYLAND TACOMAS

Bro don't put it behind me... I'll tank 9k to make my truck a wicked monster for no reason LOL

 

I was considering 5100s with heavier springs as well to support my bumper and maybe a winch down the line. For the rears I don't know if I should go AAL or s whole leaf pack. I don't know enough to make a smart decision lol

 

Send a message on here to Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road. She was really helpful when I bought my setup

 

You can not do serious off roading without sliders and under frame protection anyway, no matter how fancy your suspension is

 

Been messaging back and forth regarding a kit. I may just save myself a bunch and go with some Billy's and upgrade later if I really need to.

 

If you're getting 886 springs just keep in mind that apparently the Bilsteins arent intended to be used with them because of the heavier spring rate. Although tons of people run that setup without issue. Personally I'd get the OME shocks to use with the 886s

 

I'll look into it more, thanks for the advice

 

I think toytec lift kit takes in consideration the extra weight on the front with its coil; that’s what they told me before I bought from them

 

T-belt, water pump, pulley and front trans case oil seal replaced at 162k, no leaks so far . Thanks @68dave for lending me that crankshaft tool.

 

She is #thebest

 

My rear t case seal has been leaking off and on for a while. I should probably do something about it...

 

Do it in the driveway, I think it will be better than in the mountains with no tools

 

A guy pulled out of a parking lot and t-boned me, it’s not looking great :/

 

Truck can be repaired or replaced, hope no one was hurt? That's what matters.

 

Good point, yeah no injuries thankfully. Everybody was going pretty slow, I was surprised there was that much damage. I guess just a bad place to get hit

 

Or drives across aa county and helps you wrench in a cold garage at 9pm in February...

This place was awesome. I had them do my alignment after I installed new UCAs and tires. Super customer service, and spent the extra time to make sure the numbers were exactly where I wanted them. Bonus is they are located in the same plaza as Wits end Fabrication, so they do a ton of alignments on lifted jeeps and trucks.

Not super close to Bowie though.

 

Ight who are we hunting down to seek vengeance for a fallen Tacoma?

 

Haha right? I’m expecting the worst and guessing they’ll say it’s totaled.

On that note, anyone have any advice on getting the most out of insurance? It has a ton of after market work and just got a brand new frame a couple months ago

 

Are any of the aftermarket parts marked on your insurance?
