    Yes.

    They say it doesn't, but if you have 33's or larger and use the suspension travel you will be destroying your stock fenders rather quickly.

    The total chaos +2 kit is a better kit in every way, shape, and form.

    My doors are the only stock things left besides the headlights
    yea the old style tubular allpro kit, is a poor design. the new one they got comin out looks a little more thought out

    nowhere now... that was a few years ago...

    best bet is to find a used kit... there are some TW members who fabricate now... hit some of the guys up...

    I just put LT on my tundra and I love it! my alignment stays perfect and i rotate my tires every 3k. But i am here to start research for my LT taco buy, hopefully this summer. I want a 2wd fully built with TC or camburg front kit. I can add gussets or secondary shocks or bumps no problem. But buying everything and installing it yourself is eeexxxxppppeeennnssiiiivvvee! damn! I love this forum already, it is like tundra talk on steroids with sex panther

    lol welcome to TacomaWorld!
    Yeah It's expensive, but sometimes you can find good prices on used stuff. I don't care what they look like as long as it works. In my head I already know its going to get beat up.
    I'm in tundra talk too! My friend has a 2013 tundra and I help him look up stuff.

    LT needs fiber fenders. but then (depending on tire size) you'll run into issues with the upper frame rail. (the unibody rail)

    I know tax season just ended, however I am already planning on my tax return for next year. Looking to go an get total chaos control arms, king coil overs and shocks all around, Deaver leaf Springs in the rear and fiberwerx fenders/besides.

    My main concern however, is this is my daily driver and I don't want my ride quality to suck on the street. I want to go to the store or work and not it to ride like ass. I'm torn between restoring a 65 mustang or turning my truck into a prerunner. I'm not gonna go ham on it, just have some fun in the desert and weekend warrior stuff. I work on cars for a living so all the welding and labor is easy to do in my free time.

    You sound exactly like me and my plans with my truck. I did everything myself or some help from friends in driveways too lol.

    I have total chaos up front with fox strut and king springs the rear has a bastard pack I made with random leafs with 16" 2.5 king smoothies revalved with rebound-.008 stack, compression .010 stack with a flutter and the last 2 are a .012 stack. The rear can be tuned a little better, but I have a DMZ Spring under kit just no time to install it. So going to get it retuned to that when I install it.

    I can't remember exactly how my truck felt stock, but it will be bumpier, louder(exhaust/removed wheel well splash guards/fibgerglass/knobby tires), more body roll and squeak and creak while suspension parts are moving or turning. I don't really mind driving it as my daily though. For me it's worth it to suffer a little daily driving it when I can do way more stuff than what a stock Tacoma can in the desert. My Tacoma is still is way better to daily than my little drift car. My car's real stiff, super loud, most of the dash lights don't work, gauges don't work, only 2 speakers work, no A/C, stiff clutch, no ABS ect.

    After I install the DMZ SUA kit I'll be done with all the major stuff.

    And trade your 65 mustang for a 69 Camaro :D jk. That's my dream car though.

    i find mine fun on streets. i run my tires under 36psi and it's comfy. only time it was rough is when i ran the psi at 42. i also let the compression out on on my bypasses.
