Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

That looks really clean. I was wondering if you were going to cut up or delete the console. That is a very elegant solution.

 

Other than my Ricky and Stienberger, all the basses have matte/no finish on the necks.

 

Are you bringing a guitar on the camping trip? Campfire entertainment?

 

Hope not, weather absolutely murders instruments

 

Better photos of the suspension - I'll be crawling around and checking things out. Extended brake lines and sway bar drop brackets are on the list, along with extended bump stops possibly.

Unloaded it's about 3.5-4 inches of lift, more than anticipated. However, no abnormal vibrations or steering issues at any speed, even with these off-brand MTs (Nitto Ridge Grapplers en route). Still, I plan on adding 400-600lbs of overall weight, so it should settle to under 3 inches.

For those wondering, Dobinsons IMS shocks and springs are pure beef; they have eaten up broken pavement and potholes.

 

They'll also settle maybe half an inch or so with break in, aside from weight being added.

Man that thing looks good. Running Ridge Grapplers on both Tacos currently.

 

Thanks man!

I've never had Nittos but I've heard too many good things for a good balance between on road comfort/low noise and off road capability.

 

Nobody wants to hear a bass played at a campfire!

I took it on several group camping trips where we had a big group site, and we had a full drum set and full size guitar amps running off inverters. My 4runner would idle the whole time we played so as not to drain the battery. The Warwick would be in its case anytime I wasn't playing it.

 

Looks real nice

I probably can’t make it since it’s my anniversary.
Who knows I might be able to sneak out for 3-4 hours!

 

That sounds awesome

 

YOU LEFT THE FALKEN GANG? wtf timmmmmmm

 

New wheels came with barely used Graps, 33s

New truck happened to have the same tires but in stock size



For what it's worth, after wheeling with them, Falkens are the superior tire. Also do way better in snow etc

 

Awesome clean install!

Just wait until wheel it, a crawlbox is easily one of the best mods short of lockers for manual guys

 

I hate rock gardens. Hate em. And every park that has them.... No bypasses. Bypasses on many other obstacles, never on rock gardens. Hate em.

With a crawl box .... Might not be half bad lol

 

I live for rock gardens/trails with all the reduction. 4.7’s in front of a stock case

 

Cool pic!
I wish there was a 4.7 option with the ECO Crawler but it uses the stock 2.57 planetary gear set. With that though, it's plenty slow.

 

Yeah until you’re playing in the really big rocks dual stock gears work great and are a MASSIVE improvement from wearing your left leg and the clutch out on a single stock case.

 

Looks dynomite! Also +1 on the Dobinsons IMS.
