Lifted 1st gens let's see em

I like how you did that bumper/light bar thing! I looked at your build thread and didn't see any specifics. Did you fab it up yourself?

 

Thanks! Its a $20 homemade special, with an emphasis on special because it was built by me lol. I'll get some more pics of it on my build. Its not the most solid thing in the world but it gives me more clearance and can hold some lights

 

Sweet! Looks like a cheap "alternative" while waiting to get a plate/tube bumper. Great idea!

 

You text my company phone? I don't remember gettin a text from you

 

which one is Columbia area code?

 

Disregard the zip tied corners (old pic), I already replaced them with a TG turn signal kit.

 

I don't have one with a Columbia area code haha

 

I see the difference now, So, you're saying I've got a one of a kind...cool...

I did paint the chrome around the headlights black too. in fact, all the chrome from when I got it either came off or got painted black.

Here is what it looked like when I got it 3 years ago.

 

Put OME leafs and Bilstein 5100's on the rear, I'm not digging the rake at all so the front really needs new shocks/coils. With a new bumper coming in the near future, it'll only get worse. Always something!

 

Rake is a good thing! It will settle in though and come out about level, it grew on me plus its much better than the bro lean imo

Right after the new Frame

 

Looking good! One thing and this is all personal opinion but you might want to consider flipping your rear shocks to have the boot down. It prevents water and crud from sitting on the seals and ultimately leading to leaky shocks prematurely.

 

Here's my 2003 2wd Trd taco with 2.5 inch billies in front and 1.5 wheelers aal in rear. Looking for feedback on how it looks and if I should add more lift.

 

'
Looks good to me, you cant really add more lift other than adding an eibach coil to the billies or OME all though its not recommended to do the billy/OME combo, best bet is eibach/billy if you want a true 3' lift or if your wallet can handle it get coilovers!

The only proper way to go over 3" is sas, LT & maybe spindle lift, not sure on the prerunner stuff. but if you want you can do a drop bracket lift which is 4.5-6" but I wouldn't wheel it at all, you gain no more ground clearance than you would if you did a proper 3" from the get go.. & stay away from body lifts, blocks & spacers!

 

Okay thank you I'm new to the world of lifting and was just wondering

 

I apologize for her wanting to be a pic whore right now

 

My 04, Toytec/Eibach coilovers in the front, Allpro 3" springs in the rear and 5150's, around 3" of lift, on 33x12.5x15 duratracs.
