Because We're Not North Enough To Be NOVA, We're Just Stuck Between the North and the True South

A very good friend of mine did all of my satoshis. And they are Bruteforcefab bumpers. Front has custom hoops that me and a fellow tw'er did.

 

Tires came as an extra set with my dad's truck. They are in connecticut. So I need to get a lift before I go back to get them. Looking at 5100s from headstrong. Just trying to only keep the truck level, add about an inch to the front. Suggestions?

 

Oh, and I got to do some wheeling out off river rd on Sat morning. Strep trails, some mud, slick rock, and sand all in one. 4lo crawled up the river bank like a champ!

 

probably going to need more than an inch. i'm not the expert here but i'd say the 275's are probably going to need a little more. others who kow more than i will hopefully chime in but thinking bilsteins set at 0 and maybe ome 885 coils for the front and an add-a-leaf of some sort for the rear with bilstein shocks you'll probably end up with 2.5 in the fornt and 1.5-2 in the rear which will also help level the truck out

 

public trails?

 

Private, sorry guys. I have a lead on another spot though.

 

nothing wrong with private spots and when you get them keep'em secret

 

good morning! happy Monday! hope you all have a good day we gotta keep this thread going off to a good start! have a great day

 

Awesome!! I do live in Orange but work in Culpeper, I drive right up 15 every morning. Wave if you see me in my 16 Quicksand TRDOR

 

Chief. A 275/70/17 is only about 1/2" wider than a 265. It's also only about 1/2" taller than a 265/75/16 - which fit with no lift. You might be able to get away with a 1.5" lift. You might have to remove the mudflaps - they're too long anyway. If you're using stock rims they might not rub the control arm like 285s would.

I'd be tempted to use the 1.5" setting on the 5100s. If it rubs something you can cut plastic, bend the pinch welds - if you dare. That's how i fit 285s on the tundra.

1.5" would level the truck with nothing in the bed. You'll squat with weight though. You can always add an AAL and raise the front to 2"

 

So this is where all the cool people went.. Thanks for starting this up @Wild Crow!

 

Guess it's my turn for intro..

I am still pretty new to the whole modding community. Bought my truck in 2014 after graduating from VCU in Computer Engineering and landing my first job in Dahlgren. Pics before mods began..




After buying my truck, I wanted to start to learn more about it. I have always been interested in vehicles and someday I want to restore/build my own, but there is still A LOT I need to learn. So a couple months after getting the truck I started researching what I can do to add more to it. And that's how I came about this site and after seeing all the things that can be done to a Tacoma, I got hooked.. My first mods began.




And to make things short, this is how the truck now sits.

 

So let me get this straight. ...there is another black Baja in Fxbrg? And I've never seen it? I need to get out more. ..

 

i lve in c'pep but work at dulles i'm probably at work before you leave. but you may see me around town some time if you do flag me down or swing by the house when you get off i'm usually home by 4. justin is in louisa and the others are in f'burg or king george that's why this thread was started for us misfits. like i said though pm me if you'd like to stop by and chat your welcome. where in town do you work?

 

Hell yeah man, would love to stop by and talk tacos!

Yeah you're definitely gone before I get to work around 7. I feel like I have seen your truck in the Martin's lot before, next time I'll flag you down.

I'm working over at Swift, been there for about 2 years. Really looking for a good house or apartment to rent up there in the pep

 

this little bit i can add because i've done it. bilsteins set at 0 and eiback 112620 coils will give you 1.5" in the front and ride and handle incredible.

 

i'll kepp my ears open for a house or something. if your in town swing on by i'm not doing anything. yeah ha i'm at dulles by 5:15

 

Will do! I'm back home now, I get off around 4 so I should be able to swing by after then.

 

Didn't even realize yours was a Baja as well! Crazy how we have not seen each other.. Only other Baja I've seen is a red one, but was a while back.

 

What the hell is this place?
