3rd Gen Magnetic Gray Thread

@Daddy_Firebird How do you like the feel of the Eibachs on the road?

 

Oooh thinking I might leave mine unpainted and just do the TRD stamp black...

 

To be honest, it's not holding up so well with the sand on the roads. I used Ceramic engine enamel paint, and even then, it's getting sand blasted. I'll probably powder coat it in the near future. I personally didn't like the silver/white factory color. Not to mention the blue and pink paint marks from the factory.

 

So far so good! I had stock coils on the 5100's before and these are night and day difference. Less harsh on pavement and hug the rocks real nice when off roading. I would buy them again for sure!

 

I had the stock coils on the 3rd notch.

 

Here's a breakdown of my setup:
5100's all around- $340
Eibach Pro-Lift Coils- $150
SPC UCA's- $460
Toytec Mini Leaf Pack W/Extended U-bolts- $230
Front Diff Drop Kit- $30
Total- $1210+ tax= $1300ish

Glad I went this route. Was expecting to spend another $300 but the guys at Toytec recommended the mini leaf pack vs dakars for my style of driving (weekend warrior).

 

Nice. So learning about this, is it better to just go to a lift place like toytec and have someone help with everything? I’ve read a lot on here but would be worried to mess up or not order right parts, etc

 

That's where i went! the guys there will steer you in the right direction. Hugo has helped me out the last few times I've gone. Be prepared to find other things you might want to buy Also mention you're on TW and they'll give you a 5% discount. Pretty much takes care of the taxes.

 

Is it cost effective to go with a kit?

There you go! I already had the 5100's and wanted to get new UCA's but this wouldn't be a bad route to take. Keep in mind, you don't need aftermarket UCA's but it is recommended once you get around 2" of lift up front.

 

Had to drop this in...

 

Looks great! Did you go with the bolt-on or weld-on option?

 

Here's my MGM...

 

New wheels and tires today

BFG KO2’s 265/70/17 load range E

Pro comp alloy wheels, wanted the least busy wheels I could get not a fan of the beadlock “look”.

 

.

 

thats some deep tint. what did you get?

 

My little mall crawler, just got her a few days ago. OEM wheels were first to go. Planning a few more mods but nothing heavy. This is the moment I popped her dirt cherry (so to speak).

 

Limo for the shell I camp and sleep in there plus store tools

15% on top of the factory tint for the passenger seats in back and up front I went for 20%

I live in California and technically if you have anything up front you can be stopped and cited and it’s happened on previous cars of mine but hasn’t happened in years, I couldn’t imagine having a truck or car without tint
