New Daily Driver

Agreed! What bumper is that?

What id really like is one like the ARB that comes on the new 4g Trail Hunter, but I’ve never seen one like it for the 3g.

 

RCI rear bumper love it

 

Diggin' the Total Black contrast...I need ideas for when I buy new wheels/tires.

Also, I got bushwacker fender flares but not with red accent bolts...so I'll be looking for pokey with my wheel/tire selection.

3" lift with Bilstein 5100s?

Someone was asking about adding an inch of lift from the adjustable 2" Bilstein...I'd like to see the front springs/shocks out of curiosity.

Mine's a Daily Driver but I don't off-road...so the TRD Sport suits me.

Looking forward to moar photos.

 

@TacoTime55 just seeing your post, if that question was directed to me here arw some specifics.

- i used normal black fender flares, painted the chrome plastic pieces red, askind of a theme vehicle.. some dont like it, bit hey.. its mine so they dont have to make sure to use a plastic bonding paint and preclean parts..

- Because my truck was a SR model and basic 4x4, it came with what i would call soft springs, so i chose to go with Old Man Emu lift springs because of the frontt end weight. I had read multiple threads of those settling over about a month or 2 so i chose to do a compound lift, put my Bilstein 5100 springs on 2nd notch, or 1 up from bottom.. DO NOT GO FURTHER UP..
I have had that same height with zero settling now for about 3 months, its stiff on the small stuff but takes things in speed very verry well, large bumps no problem, and no banging or creaking.. i paired with UCA because of the lift height. Love it, but again it isnt a soft sprung system..
Painted my OME springs with ceramic red paint, holds up extremely well, though it will scratch in places as you try to instsll.. its tight with struts that tall..

Hit me up if ya want more.. if your question wasnt directed to me, sorry.. oops

 

@OldSchlPunk yes im certain of the tire size.. but when tire pressure is at 30 to 35 psi they will only stand 31.5 Actual.. the 33.1 is inflated with no truck weight,.
I measured before and after,

Next go round im going for the toyo mt which stands about 1/2 taller, or spend for 17" wheels and get same 255/85R17 which should stand physically at 32.5 actual..

 

Hey Steve.

I was just curious about your 3" lift with an SR5 model.

My truck has the TRD Lift which is 2" up front (using OEM coils) and 1" blocks in the back.

I had a 2024 Tacoma Limited as a loaner and can say the ride feels almost the same in comparison.

The OEM Hitachi shocks were suitable for the time I had them but I did notice they did not take corners very well.

Appreciate the info and photos of your truck.

 

@TacoTime55 so ive ridden in a TRD Pro 3rd Gen and can say it rides nice, but the lift i chose was to be a best "bang for the buck" which i believe it is..

Next step up would just be to go to 6112 Struts, and i hear they are great.. have not used them..

I would say, of my lift the only thing i think i over compensated for was my rear AAL, where i kept my "overload" spring.. its simply too much for such a light truck rear end. If i did it again, unless i were hauling or towing a lot, i would not keep the overload spring idf adding torch offroad 1.5" AAL

Rear is stiff as shit!

 

@TacoTime55 highly recomend watching videos on youtube from 88rotors

They do the most amount of taco lifts of any shop im aware, and do very reputable work.. no shoddy crap, its where i got most of my odeas
