What leaf springs did you switch to?

 

And which springs are those?

 

What are the front coils? If they are 885, 886, or 887 I am interested.

 

I think I have the sticker from the other coil upstairs I'll have to look for it

 

I should have been more specific. Which leaves are those? Expo's or Dakar's?

 

I put my All-Pro expeditions back on.

They are OME/Dakar

 

The lift only has like 7000 miles on it. I have the receipt where he bought it in June or July. He drove an average of 12,000 miles a year. It's in really good condition. The only reason I took it off is I had my icons and the Expos.

 

I might take the Dakar's if you end up splitting it up and the price is right.

 

Same here if Dave passes

 

Too bad I already blew my tax money on tars and little stuff.

That little stuff adds up QUICK!

 

I may be interested in the 885s

 

Went up to my parents yesterday to open the pop up and see if it was still worthy. spent an hour or so changing out a tire with a busted bead, I am guessing its a mid 80s model. Was hoping to pull it down so I wouldnt have to tent-it. No dice, it has been sitting for 3 or 4 yrs, outside. Smelled worst than 2 bums having anal in a dumpster in late august. Mice had gotten in and just wrecked it. Did steal the stove and gas line off of it though. Thats a bonus, 3 burner stove, now I don't have to buy a camp stove

 

Pics (of the stove) or it didn't happen

 

dont have any of it open, will grab one of the stove a nabbed though

 

there is also a good 12v fridge that if still works would be good if going somewhere with power

 

i might leave my grill at home now

 

True or false, 2nd gen tacoma suspension parts are interchangeable with 3rd gen.

 

As I understand it, interchangeable in terms of they bolt up....NOT interchangeable in term of the same exact parts. Especially so with regards to front shocks/coils. There is a LOT of conflicting information out there. Bottom line, several of the manufacturers have parts (ie, shocks) specific to the 3rd gen.

 

Seems like 3rd gen front is heavier. 3" lifts were yielding 2" on 3rd gens.

 

Most (all?) of what I know about the subject is from anecdotal comments from other people who may or may not be so well informed. What I hear is the 3rd gens are an inch higher in the front from the get go. So....a 3" lift for a 2nd gen may only net 2" lift on a 3rd gen because of that 1" increase already built into the 3rd gen.

Now I'm confused.....
