    Hey thanks! Yes, I still like the Ironman suspension now that Ive had it on a few rough trails. They didn't have the rear Ironman shocks in stock at the time so I went with the Dobbins on the recommendation of the guys at RSG. The leaf pack is about 2.5" lift.

    The guys at Foothills Offroad Transformations are lurking about..... If you want them to fab you a hidden winch mount, get on their schedule because they are juggling life and day jobs too. Their thread is here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/foothills-off-road-transformations.595396/

    I sold my custom off road trailer and used the proceeds to pick up a Magnuson super charger. The Tacoma doesnt fit in my shop all the way so I had to park it halfway in, then cut some foam panels to seal the weather out. I like to work in comfort...

    This engine has 199,864 miles on it.

    I sold this little trailer to pay for the supercharger. Worth every penny.

    I am extremely happy with this thing! On a 7% grade, 65mph hill I used to have to downshift to 4th and barely chug up at 40mph, I can now stay in 5th gear at 65mph and still have power beyond that! Its like a completely different engine. Also my gas mileage has increased by 1 to 2 MPGs (if I drive like an adult). This thing is well worth the money IMO.
