GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Option 3

 

I appreciate the response, was looking to see if anyone had thoughts on other setups.
The one I pointed out gives you the ability to adjust between option 1-3.
Oh, and Icon is the jam as well.

 

I run a heavy Dakar pack, but is probably too stiff for what you got so I imagine the medium would result the same lift as the stiffest icon. Alcans are the other option, but I don't know anything about em, just that they cost more.

 

Thank ya sir! A work in progress but it's getting closer haha

If you wanted to go balls out you could get a custom made leaf pack since you've got a decent amount of weight. But if you want off the shelf parts I'd go with Dakars or heavy All-Poo if you wanna deal with them. But an AAL would be a quick band aid fix for a bit

 

I am looking for the plushest ride I can get to compliment the progressive rate I have now.
If I run Heavys that sucker is gonna skip around in the back in the washboarded areas.
Oh and I drive it like a sports car.

 

I'd just get a Dakar pack and throw in the AAL when it comes time. I'm doing that now (of course mine is a bit different, 1st gen) but when I eventually get a rear swing out I'll throw in the AAL

 

I have the Dakar pack in the back with Icon RR shocks. I drive spirited and hit big speed bumps at speed (40-50?) and the rear lands nicely. No bump stop hitting, not jarring, just a soft splash and one rebound back to ride height.

FWIW, I have a heavy shell on the back and some tools and a Pelfrey tire carrier bumper.

The price that Icon wants for their leaf packs is kinda crazy. It's not new tech, so I don't see where they have reinvented the leaf.

 

What are you running upfront?

 

Thanks! Got my MESO turn signals put on today too. Moving forward. Also, snagged the OVtune this week. Lift will be done next year or so when the tires start to wear out.

 

Definitely looking a little sad in the back. I've all but made up my mind I'll be going with Dakar mediums depending on how well my current setup handles the trip with the RTT next weekend. ~2.75" of lift empty is higher than I want, but if I keep the RTT on like I'll probably end up needing to do, it'll bring that lift height down a bit. That Headstrong Offroad Dakar kit with the Leafs / Bushings / U Bolts / CB Drop / Free Shipping is a super good deal.

 

I was wondering when you were going to chime in. Why don’t you get those jammmers and let me know lol.

I am curious, the Pro model I have came with progressive rated springs. That being said the front is tuned with a shock and coil setup that is more plush than other models. So I want a set that will compliment the front, so when I hit stuff I don’t get that throw from the back.

If you look at the leafs (Icon vs Dakar) you can see the spring rates are lower on the icons (more thinner leafs), for this reason I thought they would compliment the fronts better.

Due to the fact my truck is stock, and I won’t be replacing the fronts at this time... I just didn’t want to over lift the rear.

These are just my thoughts.

 

I'd bet the Icons will ride better than the Dakars just based on paper specs. My front shocks are already adjusted higher for more lift so I don't have the plushness of those factory Fox shocks you're sporting. Mine rides a bit stiff on the day-to-day little bumps and road imperfections, but soaks up the big stuff like it isn't even there. The rear Icon 3 leaf AAL is plenty plush, though.

 

Do you mind measuring the distance from the truck frame to the outermost portion of the sliders? Primarily at the driver’s entrance/exit area if you don’t mind sir!

 

I have had the Falken Wildpeak AT3W for almost 10k miles now and they have been awesome tires. Wearing well, road noise not bad, good down to 15 psi so far, and have tackled every type of terrain in the south east from sand to rock and clay.

 

Icon Stage 4 all around with the Dakar heavy leafs and u bolt flips

 

We got to get some sort of list view for this Classifieds. How the hell do you guys figure out what’s for sale in your local area, and what’s been sold on here.

Sorry for my ignorance, I am new to this forum...I used to ih8mud.

For instance if you go to this link, you can view each item as its own thread.
https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/buy-sell-trade-other.35/
We should have the Classifieds for Ga set up this way, so we can see a list of Items: FS, FT, Sold and Location helps

Thoughts?

 

That would require creating a whole forum just for us- doubt the mods will do that.

 

None of y’all happen to be friends with a service manager at a Ford dealer are y’all? 10k in and it already makes a super short funky noise in the morning when I let up off the gas. I don’t think it’s anything dire, but I’d probably want it looked at since it’s still under warranty.

I miss my Taco. Hahaha.

 

Nope, but I bet you'll be friends with one now that you own a Ford.

 

I just moved to the Newnan area from Maryland (Born and raised in Alabama). I'm assuming the good trails are going to be mostly in northern GA?
I'm going to start scoping out the Marietta or Alpharetta area to move to next. If anyone has any advice pertaining to that it would be appreciated.

All stock right now. I have a Fox Level 2 ready to install but I'm waiting until I want to buy new tires to throw it all on.
