Hey Connecticut, our everything hurts

I finally got my peasant 2/1.5 spacers and block lift in. What an agonizing 6 hours. Not too bad for my first time working on a truck. I think I can do it in under 4 hours next time lol.

 

Nice cars; well done. Any issues with the bag system in cold weather? I’m assuming you weren’t daily driving these through the winter. Also what brand system did you run? I would like to do this in the next year or two to a commuter car.

 

I would never recommend daily driving a bagged car. That's just a ticking time bomb. Although I have daily driven these two for over 10k miles/year before and even taken them on 250 miles road trip...

I can't comment on cold weather because I lived in Texas when I had these two cars (moved to CT 6 months ago). The coldest it ever got there was 28 degrees lol. These two systems worked just fine in that weather. I didn't have any problem airing up or losing PSI when I was driving.

I used airlift 3P in both of these cars. I like them a lot because they have PSI monitors on all 4 corners and it's built into the manifold so you don't have to do an external monitoring system like Accuair.

If you're going to daily a bagged car then I would really recommend spending a good amount of money on fittings, airlines, and water traps. Not the stuff that comes with the bags itself or no name brand. Go to a store that sells maintenance equipments for 18 wheelers. It's worth it. Cheap fittings will always leak no matter the design and they're made out of really soft materials. The fittings I used cost 4 times as much but my car only lost 2-3 PSI per corner for the entire 250 miles drive.

 

This is what I'd like to bag with a set of Daytons

 

Good information, I appreciate that. I should have mentioned I would keep a second car so it wouldn’t be my only mode of transportation; bad weather, storms, etc would be left to the 4Runner.
I figured this would be a good chunk of money haha.
I’ll bookmark this so I can come back to it when I’m ready. Thanks again.

 

Hope everyone is having a great Saturday, it’s beautiful out. Had a chance to get all my yard work done early this morning, and took the pups down the street to the river. Then a trip to Home Depot to grab materials to wrap up a couple projects going on at the house. Been a productive day so far.

 

I guess the saying is true once you own a Tacoma and join TW you do go broke!
Just bought my new tires and rims and installing lift soon after vaca. It’s going to be a very expensive summer! Thank goodness the wife really loves me unconditionally!

 

Morning all.
What's that odd yellow thing in the sky?
Who's cooking breakfast today?

 

Morning all.

 

Damn son! Looks good. When we going wheeling again?

 

Mornin everyone!

 

Morning everyone. Already played soccer, filled up the truck, went to the in-laws to feed the fish, and about to sell my old weedwacker and make $150.

 

You can thank the unfunded pensions for that one

vote red if not already and maybe change will happen

 

150.00 will get you a decent mod.

 

Naw... That $150 is going towards paying for the new weedwacker that I bought, and doesn't even cover it.

 

^
This!

 

Hartford sure has changed since I last went through.

Me, I'm going to unload all the rocks I just loaded into the Taco bed. Your day looks better.

 

Hasn’t it tho?

 

Sold my weedwacker today, and tomorrow I might be selling my brush cutter. Listed it on Facebook and Craigslist, and someone contacted me on the Craigslist add and coming to look at it tomorrow.

 

Great evening here!
