5100s for 2016 3rd Gen Tacos

Thanks for that info

 

So clean!

 

Awesome, thanks for sharing

 

Thanks! Haha... that was over three years ago. I've changed a few things since then...

 

hah oh dang, you've put in some work! I've been thinking about getting a shell.. how do you like that model? I have the sport version of your truck, without most of the upgrades

 

Love the shell. The only thing I would possibly do differently would be to get the "windoors" that open up for access. But they don't look as clean. Overall, very happy with it though.

 

Ya that thing looks super clean but I have read that others love the convenience of the windoors. I suppose I should've asked what make is the shell?

Thanks man! Working on my pitch to the wife now...

 

BTW... I see you're in SoCal. You coming down for the big meet up in San Diego on Saturday?

So I am pretty new to this forum, and haven't heard about the big meet up. But I am an hour drive to SD, so totally doable except i'll be up in Idyllwild for the weekend. Maybe next time!

 

Idyllwild is awesome. We have a group that goes up a few times a year for off-roading/overnighters. You'll have to keep an eye out on the SoCal threads and join in on one of them.

 

Here is another outing you should plan on attending in September. I think all of the campsites have been spoken for but there are always no-shows. You should at least come up for a day and meet everyone. There should be well over 100 people there.

cool thanks, i'll check it out

 

Anyone run 5100s all around with a Med leaf pack? instead of an AAL?

 

Apologies if this has been asked before, but what kind of ride can be expected if I just replace the REAR Hitachi sport shocks with 5100's?

Lately, I've had this vibration / "hopping" sensation coming from the rear. I got about 30000 miles of moderate use on my OEM shocks.

Will this smooth out the rear end? Any downside of just replacing the rear? Truck is bone stock otherwise.

 

so how well does the 5100 handle off road loaded down with say 300 pounds of gear?

 

I've got 5100's in the rear only, and in my limited experience on a washboard road with about 150lbs, the rear end feels a lot more controlled and tame. When the truck is unloaded, they are tad stiffer than stock, but with weight in the back, it almost rides like a Cadillac.

 

nice, sounds like just what I need for my camping trips

 

5100’s all around , SPC’s aal. Super stoked on set up.
