    I am. Nice choice on the headlights too, gives me confidence in mine. Thanks for the hardcore testing action, lol.

    WTF would the factory bedrail tiedown cleats be used for in this scenario?:confused:

    NICE! Thanks!!

    I believe the target is the Primm 300 again. He will also be looking for another race that will be around that time (not sanctioned by SCORE) just so it's not so tough on the pocket to get out there.

    We used them for putting our bikes on it but he picked up a bike rack that goes into the tow hitch so they're used as decoration :p

    At the beach. Not exactly the "gnarliest" waves but if we get a good storm coming through, we do get some action.

    Spring Under Leafs - 64" (I believe) Giant Motorsports. Mike will probably chime in once he gets to work.

    Yep, it's the Giant Motorsports 64" spring-under setup. I'm getting a clean 18" of wheel travel and running 18" travel, 3" 4-tube bypass shocks in the rear.
    IMG_1983_02ca7af2ecb11ff3d8560b70162f98ec287036c0.jpg

    The rear hangers are tied together for added strength.

    Had to clearance the bed and move some wires to make sure nothing got clipped.

    THATS A SWEET SET UP! I talked to a guy at dmz fab about doing a sring under kit. , it wasnt very spendy but it wasnt 3" 4 tube bypass shocks. Maybe when I pay my truck off.

    DMZ makes a solid kit and is generally the preferred SUA conversion for these Tacomas. Team Shark Attack runs it on their race Tacoma.

    I went with the Giant kit because I felt the hanger design was a little more stout. I also liked that Giant's setup has been raced HARD on Rangers for years.
