    Is anyone with a lowered 6 lug 2nd gen running a TRD catback or catback with the standard side exit with the SOS sway bar kit? the tail pipe is interfering with the end links on the sway bar and im wondering if it's something im doing wrong. @TRON @hemitruk maybe?

    Believe it or not, I finally have the date set with Deaver to de-arch my rear leaf springs for my drop coming up at last. I was wondering if you ever got those low profile bumps stops together by chance and want to sell any?

    I also got my Deaver front coils installed now and ended up with roughly 2" drop even though they are built for a 2.65" drop. Guess almost 20 year old coils had some sag. So I'm thinking maybe just a 2.75" drop in the rear to bring it down for a nicer stance and better handling yet hopefully maintain some truckability as well!

    As a matter of fact I just finished the design. Just sent my files off to the laser cutters just waiting onna response so I should have some in stock with pricing in the next few weeks.

    Since we all like pics, I'll share a couple as she sits now.

    This is with my front drop coils installed but before dropping the rear. Pretty mean rake but drives fairly decent still and doesnt look as clownish as I'd thought it would.

    20200926_172314.jpg

    I also just found an original Lunar Mist rear bumper to match my front bumper and grill.
    20200926_172429.jpg

    My appt to drop the rear is on 10-24, be on the lookout for updates soon after!

    October 11 8am till whenever. Dockweiler state beach park. Over 200 mini trucks will be there. Lots of toyotas. This is like the 8th year. If you look on YouTube there are several videos of past years. Great event with lots of cool people with no drama.

    So got coilovers from viking. Final piece of puzzle. @TRON can down load Viking coilover application chart . Got all specs on extended , compressed and ride height . Just saw this last night . Got the C219 about. 1/8 in less than my ride height put think should be ok . The C215 seems would have been better . Talked to guys at fabquest and said C219 should be good so ordered that .

    So those with 4wd axle clearance might be an issue

    So put coilovers on today . Love it . Rides a lot better . Now to play with adjustments Would have been easier to adjust inverted but preloaded 3 in was pretty much spot on
    Height was 32 5/8 rt and 32 3/8 lt side . Got it 32 in now . For 4wd guys more room for axles mounted this way . Still not sure if got enough clearance for axle .

    Going to look for viking dual adjustable for rear now .
    B212 ordered .
