2.7L Access Cab thread

I absolutely loved be mine!! When it's paid for I plan to keep and and go buy a new just like it!! These trucks are very capable and just all around great trucks!!

 

some body asked about towing with the 255's and going into the mtn's well I've been doing both at the same time. It downshifts a little more than usual but other than that it's been great. I don't see a need for a regear yet.

 

I haven't noticed any difference whatsoever between the old and new sets. Are there any?

 

Nice looking buck @Casper66

I'll whore out a few pictures of the the truck. Who doesn't like whores and tacomas?


Obligatory curb crawl from a mall crawler.

 

i have found a really good deal on a truck cap similar to yours. how does the truck handle it? I have a 3 leaf aal but was told i would probably have to go with an expo leaf pack to handle the cap and especially when i tow a trailer. i tow the trailer as seen above with the heavy assed 4wlr and it doesn't load the springs at all

 

I love the cap itself. The truck handles it great to the point the girlfriend and I both noticed right away and commented on it. the truck has the stock leafs, from what I can tell. I was looking in to suspension and was speaking with another member, I'll have to look and see if I can find the thread, and he has a cap with AAL and he said after having it for a while he regrets not going with the expo leaf pack. Hope that helps!

Good to know I also plan to get a cap eventually I'm just watching local cl waiting on a white one....

 

I have a leer 180 on my taco with stock 4 leafs. I sit at 23"-3/4 from hub to fender in the back and when I tow my trailer with my Outlandermax in it (approx 800lbs atv) it drops at 23" iirc... I plan to do aal because I would like to have a little more rake but truck is doing just fine with the whole package

 

If it is possible, considering the deal, I would suggest to get a mid rise cap! Cap that are flush with the top of the truck looks damn good but the extra 2-3 offered by the mid rise is a must! i am 6'2" and when I get in the bed to get my tools I am glad to have the extra head room. Also my snow blower fits and wouldn't in a flush top one.

 

All i can tell is that the new ones dont squeak

 

Just getting my truck out of storage

2013 AC/MT 4x4

 

may be a dum question but why was it in storage?

 

quick question... why does everyone go through the hassle of covering their license plates in pictures?

 

Idk I never figured it out either

 

I was working in Texas for a year and was given a company truck.

 

ah, i thought perhaps the service or something makes sense

 

Santa dropped off some goodies

 

Why do people put the spacer on the driver side for the taco lean after getting new springs? Shouldn't the new springs level everything back out and I assume are different than oem so shouldn't get the taco lean?

 

Factory springs are side specific and are supposed to be level, even though many aren't. After market springs are the same on both sides so you have to compensate for the weight difference with a small spacer.

 

Still on the fence about replacing rear springs. Got the recall done on the rear leafs but I have a set of the tsb leafs. Opinions on swapping to the tsb leafs?
