GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Meanwhile everybody talking about actual mods I'm over here derping my rims
Done by yours truly my boi Louie!

 

Looks good, man. Nice alternative to black. How many coats did you do?

 

Thanks dude! I really only got one can of this grey and two cans of flat black to test the waters but it turns out I really liked how it came out so . I did 3 coats and 2 for the center caps/toyota emblem if I get tired of it I'll just go all black or bronze who knows

 

I really like those 4Runner wheels on the 2nd gens! I made a run at the grey dip on my 2nd gen before swapping out the stock wheels. The grey on your blue rig looks way better than mine did. Granted I never cared for the sport wheels in most any color.

Admittedly, I went hella lazy and didn’t tape anything off. So I had significant overspray on the tires.

 

Boyyyyy and I thought my over spray was bad haha! I didn’t care either should be getting my new 315/70 17 pretty soon so I just did a single line of tape as well
Also like these rims wayyy better than the sport rims I had

 

Ah yes, nothing like some fresh ass! Umm umm, those Koreans know how to party!!!

 

Ass drinking season? Ha

 

Ever since I saw the goose gear rear seat delete I knew it was for me. Their prices though weren’t, so I fabricated my own. Officially have a two seater now.

 

Oh snap. Keep me in the loop on this one. Thinking of doing the same with a long pull out drawer.

 

Looks good. Hard to beat a simple 5 spoke wheel. Had those on my limited runner for a long time. That wheel looks good on several trucks.

 

A drawer system would be awesome back there, out of sight out of mind mentality. Next for us is waterproofing and sound deadening, then on to power and slide for a fridge. Never thought I’d see the day where a fridge is mounted in a vehicle I own.

 

I know right! Pretty cool, better make room for the oven!
Domestic has a propane oven that is killer! Made some brownies on the side of the road with my buddies. Pretty, funny riding behind my friend as he is cooking cookies in the back. Smelled awesome riding behind him!

 

Upgrading suspension
New wheels/tires
Capping the bed
Drawer unit/platform

Just the bare minimum right now to get me out camping more and working less.

 

lol this is so true about all our East coast events, we dont intend for them to be mall crawl show offs it just happens..

We do some events out west and down here in Florida and wheel the entire time, trust me I would prefer to offroad and explore all day then sit in a parking lot for 10 minutes but doing yotamafia full time means we have to give everyone attention.

 

Time to get new friends

 

Friends don't let friends drive stock

 

so haven't posted here in a little while but between having a new born and working on a project for the truck picture about 3/4 completion area I might eventually make a build thread

 

Alright you suspension gurus *cough cough @BadgerBoy @BYJOSHCOOK *, what do I need to do to get my height back since I've added all this weight? Ive been pointed towards the Bilstein 5100's, but don't know much about suspension when it comes to these trucks, just havent had the time to thoroughly scour the forums about it honestly. Currently on OME on all 4 corners, I think i have an add a leaf in the rear??

What should I expect to spend to refresh all 4 corners? Something to note is that I've noticed my truck hitting the bump stops in the rear very often, even going over a harsh dips in the city. I would like to retain a decent, streetable ride, but I also need something that will perform decently off-road, hauling a little booty over washed out, gravel roads. I also haul a 4000# landscaping trailer from time to time, but that shouldn't be a huge factor. This is my all purpose, do everything, truck. Not looking to break the bank, but willing to spend some money on something that is practical for my application, yet not overkill. Let me know yalls thoughts!

 

I'm no guru...but a good less expensive route would be Billies, 6112 with 700# springs and 5160 out back with a Dakar medium pack. Problem with Bilstein is they sell them with 600# springs and they are going to be too soft, so an extra 180 is needed to be spent. Otherwise you could probably just upgrade your current springs on the ome and get a new leaf pack out back.
