GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Holy cow yeah it is!! Anyone want to buy my 2017!! For $35,000 so I can go get this one, I miss my stick!!

 

255-85r16? Looks great!!!!

 

What year is your truck I have a drop in plastic liner for a 2000 longbed you can have if it will fit. I am taking it to the dump next week tired of looking at it!

 

Motto for modding trucks:

Buy once, cry once

Don’t do things twice you end up spending more money. Get it right the first time

 

This man knows.


Btw, would you happen to know about 1st gen rear shock length in stock locations.
What I've read, 10" is to long and 8" is to short. Only length king has, so I've been thinking of going with fox rears in like a 9.6 or so...

 

If you have a lift run these with super bumps

It’s a 2004, same generation but it won’t fit. It has to be a DC model. But thanks for asking.

 

10” will require shocks to be relocated, 8” is what the OME and all that is. It’ll work but your limiting factor is the shocks. Kings can be custom built so you can get whatever you want. It’ll be more expensive.

I recommend relocating the shocks and then get 10” as it’ll work

 

No sir, probably not. I’d be headed off 75 toward Cassville in the evening, on the north side of town. You around that way? Obviously

 

Guys I am selling my 265/75r16 Michelin at2 tires (with lifetime transferable warranty)with 11/32 tread is what I was told by Discount last time I rotated them 3,000 miles ago. Discount said the had hardly any wear from new. The wheels are 16 inch American outlaw black rims(no curb rash or rock like new)with 2006 Tacoma Tpms sensors still in them came off my 06 before I sold it, then put them on my current 2000. I have ordered some methods and Goodyear mtr only reason I am selling. $1000 OBO for all 4 rims and tires and will throw in a extra rim with no tire on it for spare and lugs nuts. Not patches or cuts, will not separate! Guy these new were $2000 only maybe 10,000 Miles on them!!

I will also have front struts I believe Monroe,spacer and rear bilsteins 5100 for sale soon once I get my King lift on.
I figured $250 for all of that all are less than 3 months old.

 

Seems everyone is changing set-ups lately ... I'm trying to sell mine as well as I have new wheels coming from dropstars at the end of the month. I'll have to go to a 35x13.50.20 toyo m/t .. anybody know any good deals? at my cost thru my dealer they are $440 a piece Anyway thought I'd drop in an say hey yall! Hope yall had a great turkey day!

 

Call Discount tire in mcdonough ga on willow lane talk to neal he is the manager .tell him I told you to call and you are a friend of mine do it before Tuesday to get the rebates!!

 

10" travel is the problem. To long, I need the 9.xx" length they have on i believe down south motorsports

Not going custom and I like my spare under the truck, I don't like swing outs

 

Thanks! Yeah! 255/85/16 st maxx

 

I live out euharlee rd cut through emerson off of 75 I see 3 different 3rd gens about 2x a week each between 75 and my house.

 

Well you’re not gonna fit 10” shocks correctly. You’ll bottom out every time you flex just a bit. Imo not worth it

 

One of my neighbors has one too. Gonna have to get crafty on my build then huh

 

Fox has 9" travel

 

Kings>>Fox

But I like my stuff to match so I’m getting Kings for the back. But whatever works best for you

 

Depends on how much flex you have, I had to run 10" for the extended length so the shock would be long enough when extended all the way out. If you fit a shock that is the correct extended length and you are bottoming your shocks out then you need a bigger bump stop. If they are too long then a shorter shock can fix it but make sure you are not over extending it when you flex it out. Mounting a shock on a lifted truck, on the stock mounts and finding one that works collapsed and extended will be hard if not impossible. Even the stock shocks are different lengths.
Like I said before, every truck is different and the best thing to do is measure and find the best one that works for you. If you have to compromise between different lengths you can use a bump stop to lengthen the collapsed measurement. or a limit strap to shorten the extended measurement. But no one can tell you what will work for you without knowing all your measurements.
