How can you make a Taco ride like a Raptor?

Interesting you share this, my experience has been the same.

Purpose built long travel truck can ride amazing when pushed in the dirt, so folks expect it to ride like a Cadillac on the street, but it just isn't so.

It could handled the big hits, but also made it ride poorly on the street.

Then there's the noise and vibrations that comes with sold attachment points - hiems, uniballs, solid body mounts, solid engine mounts, aux fans running... Lots of squeaks, groans, clunks, tire chirps, rear-end gear noise, and oh the bypass check balls sound like a cans of marbles with every bump.

Honestly, I enjoyed streeting this though. I used it as a daily by choice, I always had another car to drive if I chose.


Edit: And yes, I'd do it again (and am working on it)

 

And yet I sold it for a new Tacoma!

 

Yep same here. We have a second car that rides much better but I always choose the Tacoma.
