    image.jpg Trimmed front and rear no issues. Cut 3" out of the front all the way down and 4" out of the rear. You'll be fine. Definately line-x/rattle can Bedliner the inside of the fenders or they'll spider crack from rocks hitting them @erok81

    Quick question. Would a Solo motorsports XLT long travel kit for a 2004 4runner (newer body style) fit a 2011 Toyota Tacoma? I doubt it does but maybe someone could prove that inference.

    Solo Motorsports put in a beefed up rack into my old 1st Gen regular cab. It used better seals and internals but was still based on a 1st Gen stock rack.

    It depends on the system you're running. If you run a high flowing metering valve you'll be able to turn from lock to lock super fast with your pinky. Lower flow will be harder steering and "slower." There are different pumps, rams, metering valves, etc. to suit different applications.

    ...too much shit to list.
    You would have to mic the eccentrics. Certain year FJ and T4R used larger eccentrics/bushings than second gen Tacoma (but the 3rd gens use the new larger FJ/T4R size.

    Beach run in San Juanico last week. Please critique my suspension. It felt fine inside the truck here and in 2' whoops it kicked butt. Where it struggles is the rough rocks. If I can get is smoother in the rocks I will be happy. Front is TC with single coil over and air bump, valving is light with flutter pack and bleed holes drilled, not sure about rebound valving. Rear is also valved very light with flutter pack and bleed holes drilled, rebound screws about half way in but it handled better all the way out. Thanks

    Wish I could critique, but Im still new to the suspension game. Out of curiousity, where did you get the chaos decals on the bottom of your doors? It looked like your suspension was handling the beach pretty well.

    Probably just lighten up your rebound a bit.

    I know video tuning helps but I think you might need to get the video in the 2' whoops, that is basically smooth and the suspension is hardly moving. Either that or you are tuned awesome because it looks smooth lol

    I was gonna say the same thing. Those look like maybe 1' rollers every 50' or so and not a whoops section.

    It just looks (and feels) like the front drops off a building every jhump. It's hard to get videos when you have a destination 200 miles away.
