    My friend mark and the big old ford made it on all the trails at lefthand and the caribou trail. You could start there. :)

    Umm a muffler for 3 cylinders might not sound that great. Just my opinion though. If you are going long tubes, high flow cats, and an X pipe you might be able to get away with it. You would also need some serious intake to offset that big dumper. :D

    This sounds logical.
    Dead on. Good advice.

    Too loud? Or does it have a really bad drone? Im not sure what i wanna go with if not for the flowmasters... Maybe just one flowmaster hi flow with a y?

    i really like the dual look but i dont want to do a fake dual if i dont have to... but i dont wanna lose power to gain sound, thats like getting my penis size reduced and then bragging about it.

    There are plenty of places you can get to a point on. Then get the exercise with a hike from there. :)

    Two mufflers will reduce your power in a 6. Not enough back pressure. An X pipe might help even out the sound but I am pretty sure you are going to lose power. Hoping someone with more knowledge in this chimes in here. If you like the dual look go with a single in dual out muffler. Some of those sound mean.

    Oh damn a tough question. Well they came to me pre-loaded at 2.5"s. We installed them and then cranked on them a bit to level out the truck. Not only front to back but side by side. So If I were to guess they would be at about 2.75". Then I added the 1/2" spacer to the top plate and now have roughly a full 3" front lift. If you want I can measure the bottom of the threads to the bottom of the cup but my measurement will vary by side since we cranked the drivers a bit more to correct "taco lean".

    Oh I see well the guy I bought the kit from was like a grandpa and he had them set at like 1.5" with the driver side set a little higher, without a spacer on the drivers side. so I dont know how that looked, but theyre messed up and im not sure how to fix them haha. Can you adjust them once theyre already installed?

    Yes but you might need a piece of pipe on the spanner bar. Put some lubricant on the threads before you start to keep them turning. I would check with Toytec either online or give them a call. You should be able to uncrank them to the bottom starting point and then Toytec should be able to tell you what each full rotation is = to in lift. Mark your starting hole and crank them up to your desired starting point.

    Straight from Toytec's website:

     ¼” thread change on the coilover will yield approximately ½” of lift. Your results may vary depending on
    model of Toyota and any additional weight you may have on your vehicle.
     NEVER EXCEED MORE THAN 3” OF TOTAL LIFT WITH YOUR NEW COILOVER.

    Full instructions here: That should get her done! :thumbsup:

    I did that trail last year. Here's some pics of those same rocks (though it looks like they added a few) from last year.

    I beat the shit out of my step bars on that trail. Enough to convince me that they are shit so I took them off ;)

    Sean I thought the X pipe was for any V8 to balance sound out on dual mufflers :confused: Couldn't you benefit soundwise as well when you do the exhaust on the Tundy?

    Jace, Why is my airbag light on???????????????
    Does this mean it is not functioning?

    EDIT: After a quick search I realized that I pulled the seat out for a nice deep cleaning of the interior and probably just forgot to plug the weight sensor back in. My bad.
