What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

I don’t think he was trolling. It looks like your bump stops haven’t been altered to accommodate the extra height and compression. The coils may bind and/or the coilovers may bottom out before the bump stops do their job

 

after rereading his post maybe not. But a quick glance at his prior posts still indicate a constant negative response to everyone else’s ride/work.

you are correct about the stops. Another reason why I won’t be crawling anytime soon. No bind at full droop though currently. Enough for my DD’ing and road trips with the wife. Until I convince the wife to let me buy my old man Diesel I’m not planning to risk wrecking my 7 year project just for the sake of conquering a complex rock obstacle or trail just yet. Appreciate the input though man. Thanks

 

May pull the trigger on these. Looks like BAMF Is running a sale on their HD shackles. 24% off

Do it!

 

Extremely tempted. How do you like them so far?

 

Installed on Saturday. On road, definitely noticeable as the rear end of the truck feels more planted and stable. I can feel the suspension doing its job. Hoping to get an off road test in the coming weeks. You won't regret it. Only part that sucks is the removal of the oem hangers.

 

I apologise, I didn't mean to come off as offensive and don't intentionally troll haha. Just curious as I haven't seen that before! Your rig is definitely nice!

 

My goodness. Everything in this photo suggests your ride goes ANYWHERE. That axle, leafs and shackle... dude

 

I appreciate it. I realized after rereading it I could’ve read into it. I appreciate it man. And you’re correct I’d need to remove it for a better set up if I ever move to crawling. I’ve never experienced a lean or not being level with those no matter what suspension I’ve ran. Not to mention with the 600# springs the 6112s come with won’t handle the weight up front rn as is. In time, I’ll make a change

 

Your Truck is 100% bad ass. It will look real good when you get it bed lined. The smooth bed liner will help shed mud too

 

Hey if it works for you and what you use it for then that's all that matters! It seems for armor most people utilize the 2.5" headstrong 650lb coils. Depending on how heavy you are 700 may be an option as well. New parts is always exciting for sure and I would be happy to be in your position lol

 

I did my CMC and Pinch weld today. I highly recommend the BAMF CMC plates they work great!

 

I washed my Regular cab.

 

Yesterday I cut off my lower shock mounts and broke down my leaf pack so I could articulate it in the garage. I wanted to gain some up travel back. When I did this I learned that my recently re-done limit strap mounts contacted each other before bump stops engaged. So I got crafty and reused my old shock mounts to make the beefiest limit strap tabs ever. Now there’s no clearance issues.

 

Got quoted $225+ for lca bolts and alignment cams from the local dealer. WHAT THE Fin F? I knew the dealer would be pricey but damn.

 

How the heck did you manage to get such a perfect fit? Pretty precise there lol. Mine was all sorts of jacked up and I had to just roll with the punches

 

That is going to be sweet!

Nice whip! Do you McLove it?

I'm in the market for a Sentinel or Scout. There's a bunch of Patrols for sale around me, but I want something that works on climbs, too.

 

Transition you say??

 

Parked next to the big boys at work today.

I used to think that my shell was MGM, but parked next to this guy, now I'm not so sure.
