been a while but I'm getting another tacoma. where would be the best to place to go to level a 4x4 trd OR dclb and what should i get?. imm amp mor?

 

Never dealt with amp’d before. Ive got a high school friend who is a awesome mechanic that is working at amp’d. IMM is okay the installation time sometimes sucks. I would go with a coilover set up fox, icon or 5100’s with OME springs. They can set them to just level the truck out if your not wanting to lift the rear at all.

 

Check out Trail Read Designs in Haliimaile. That’s where I’d go.

if going coilovers do Kings or ADS, they ride much better. Fox corrode fast in our environment.

 

forgot to mention what about 5100s? seemed when i had my 09 everyone was using those instead of spacers. I dont't need anything crazy, other than leveling the front, going to keep everything stock for a while. at least thats what im telling myself for now

 

5100’s and OME 885 or 887 coils.

 

ty. what setting for the 5100s? and go with the OME coils im assuming for better ride?

 

What year? 4x4? Double/access cab?

 

21 4x4 DC LB TRD OR

 

5100 at lowest setting for aftermarket coils. 887 for 2” lift, 3/8” top hat spacer on drivers side for taco lean. 3 leaf add a leaf for the back or a replacement leaf pack if want to go that route. UCA’s of your choice.

3rd gens should not be lifted more than 2” by coilovers/struts.

 

Ive heard new fox shocks last a lot longer as far as having to be serviced and corrosion resistant than most other coil overs from my bud who used to work at a shop over in Big Island. But to be honest they all rust and corrode especially if we are using our trucks. A good coat of silicone spray helps keep them nice for a good amount of time. I would do 5100’s if you just going for a simple leveling. Avoid a spacer leveling lift if you can. The ride suckssss

 

yea i dont want to do coils and ucas and all that at this time, will probably do 5100s at the 3rd perch for now.

 

I have friends who work at all 3. If your wanting to just level out the front, I say save you some cash & install it on your own. It’s pretty simple. I recommend getting 5100’s for the front & rear.

 

Anyone do OV tuning here in Maui?

 

OV? What exactly is that

 

I do tuning on Maui, I do KDMax Tunes but I can do OVTunes as well.

 

It’s a tune. So in stock form 3rd Gen tacos have really slow response throttles (reason why people buy pedal commanders) and likes to search for gears a lot. Well getting an OVtune cures most of those problems and gets you a little more power as well.
The KDMax tune on the other hand was designed to be able to achieve the most of what this truck can do all while keeping it a reliable daily, it also can be modified for any gear changes (4.88, 5.29), tire size changes (33in, 35in), and AGM battery support.

 

Oooh tuning. Been looking for somebody. Get at me, let’s talk story!

 

Hey Maui,

Have any recommendations for a good tire shop to mount and balance some wheels/tires?

Thanks!

 

Maui off road has always treated me right.

 

Are they ok to install tires brought in? Doesn't look like they carry General or Falken. Thanks for the recommendation!
