'13 TX "PROAJA"

Very sick! Like the "Factory" build.

 

Thanks guys. Glad you can recognize the inspiration. Clean, simple, purposeful.

 

So what were your measurements before and after with your setup?

 

Measurements are from ground to fender, found it difficult to get numbers from center hub.
Taken parked in same spot in my parking lot.

Driver Front
Before: 35 - 1/16
After: 36 - 14/16

Passenger Front
Before: 35
After: 36 - 13/16

Driver Rear
Before: 36 - 4/16
After: 38 - 1/16

Passenger Rear
Before: 36 - 2/16
After: 37 - 15/16

It's settled a few tenths of an inch since the measurements were taken.

 

A few pics as well.

 

I didn't see anywhere but are you running wheel spacers? Looks like they are out a bit from what the beadlocks usually look like.

Really nice lookin rig. I'm still haha

I've got to get me a set of your wheels!!

 

Thanks. No, no wheel spacers. They do stick out a bit further than stock wheels, especially after I put the Bigger Duratracs on.

 

Where are all these pics taken? There's no where like that in Marin that you can drive out on! Well maybe west Marin

 

Definitely not Marin lol. Up at Prosser Reservoir by Tahoe (Truckee).

 

Any update on how things are going with this setup? Any issues with the rear Baja shocks and the Icon AAL? I am assuming you took out the stock overload spring?

How are the bags doing with the Daystar Cradles? Could you expand on what Firestone said to you about your issues?

Awesome truck!

 

Thanks man. So far so good, no issues with anything at this point. Yes, took out the stock overload spring.

For more info on the Firestone thing, see this thread.

If you have any other questions let me know.

 

Some updates.

- Got custom TX Pro Graphics.
- TRD Brake Light
- BAMF Sliders
- Removed faux bead lock

 

Nice to see the build progression. Also, those sliders look amazing on your truck! If you ever decide to go a different route with them, you have a local buyer

 

Thanks man. Been waiting a loooooong time for those to get built!

 

Really like the look of the wheels without the bead lock. Super clean truck.

Suggested I take a look at your build.
Are you still satisfied with the AAL and air bags?
Particularly the load capacity and load handling since putting in the AAL without the overload leaf?
At the moment I'm really looking for load capacity with good street handling. Not going for the off-road performance right now. Do you think I can skip on the shock upgrade for my purpose and only do the bags and AAL?
Did you consider the hellwig leafs before landing on the Icon?

 

Yes, to this point I am satisfied with the airbags - having said that it's only been a few months.

I have not loaded just the bed with a lot of weight. All the weight I've towed around has been from my boat. For your purposes the bags themselves would be more than adequate. You don't need any AAL either, just the bags will be fine.

I didn't look into Hellwig's specifically. I just wanted as smooth a ride as possible in the back and Icon seemed to describe their product as a ride/performance oriented leaf.

 

man i really like your taco, would've liked to pick up a tx pro but oh well
nice airbag lift

 

Was the AAL then more for lift? I might prefer little to no lift as I'm regularly loading motorcycles on my own.

 

Yes. You don't need anything except for the airbag kit for your application.
