"downgrade" help

I hear you, and thanks. I think its really all of these alignment and ride quality issues that are getting to me. After 4 years, you start to lose interest in a vehicle as well, so I'm just looking for an easy way out at this point. I also have about 60k on the upgraded parts, so at this point I don't know if I could even get much for it all.

 

I like this idea too. Anyone know how much new stock leafs (with bushings and all that) would cost along with new stock UCAs?

 

Also, if I did want to bite the bullet and just trade it in (it's almost paid off, another year), will dealerships knock me for the mods? Or will they still pay the market value as if its stock? I already know they won't pay more for the mods...

 

Always my dilemma, 12 Tacomas, some stock some lifted, despite what anyone says any lift you will run into something eventually and no matter what it puts more wear and tear on the truck, but they d*mn look good when modded. I've managed to keep my 2020 stock and suits me just fine, plus stock always fetches more come resale time also despite what everyone here will try to convince themselves otherwise. Honestly I'd just source the OEM stock parts and sell the rest.

 

Hey everyone, I found this:
https://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/pts/d/catskill-22-toyota-tacoma-trd-pro-parts/7470295043.html

Would the '22 stuff still fit on my '18? Wonder if this would be a good solution... all I'd need are new stock UCAs which I believe could be from a trd pro or offroad?

 

I'd be skeptical if you even need the new UCAs to get in spec, I bet you can with factory and that setup.

 

yeah I think thats what I'm gonna do. Even if it takes a bit to source. Fully agree with you.

 

I have the JBA high caster currently, so I'd need the stock UCAs...

 

Gotcha, I thought you meant the new 2022 Pro Aluminum OEM ones, I think you'd be fine with stock UCAs.

 

would this '22 pro kit fit fine on my '18?

 

It should, I think all they did was add a spacer / tophat on the FOX setup for 2022 to gain like a 0.5'' additional lift up front, you can get well within specs on stock UCAs.

 

thanks. I also just found a new takeoff suspension on CL for $200 off of an off road. I might just do that tbh.

 

I would too, all you really need, puts truck back to true stock.

does that seem too good to be true?

 

Not at all, no real demand for those and you can get 5100s for like $100 more, I'd offer him $150 lol.

 

OK and just to be sure, those are the same billies that come with my truck stock? I forgot at this point. Seller said they are off a '21 offroad.

 

Correct.

 

I think 4600s come stock.

 

To much money, with no springs or top hats. Get the pro suspension.

 

If trying to keep a very low budget I'd go with TRD OR take offs. Sure they're soft but they're comfortable enough and VERY cheap since most TRD OR owners take em off for a lift. Should be plenty listed on here or you can go with the one you posted. If you have the money, go for the TRD Pros.

I'm with you - I actually never thought I would keep this truck stock for as long as I have. It's just so nice having a fairly comfortable truck in which NOTHING breaks every 10k miles.
