Lowering a 3rd Gen

they have their place, before my Tacoma I had an 01 Silverado. Regular cab, short bed, V8, 5 speed. Lowered it and slapped a big turbo on, and I gotta say it was hard to keep straight but even more fun

 

Small minded

 

It doesn't have to be a "street truck" to have a lower ride height or appear to be lowered. CORE trucks sit mega low and run 35" tires plus fly through the air. Granted without LT suspension your uptravel will suffer a lot if you intend on driving fast off road. But with large tires 32-33" some trimming here and there, a lower off road truck looks very nice. For rocks, as long as you have skid plates and tall tires for ground clearance I would also think having all the droop travel would help the suspension keep contact with the terrain as it flexes.

 

I rather be above everyone be like https://youtu.be/tw429JGL5zo lol

 

Idk never met him. He’s on Instagram though

 

Little off topic

This is pretty close to your wet dream, person who hasn’t been on since last may.

 

BRUH.

 

Lowered trucks/SUVs and street trucks used to be much more popular especially with GMs.

I used to see a lot of lowered Nissan hardbodies too. With chrome Dayton/vogue rims and white wall tires.

That whole scene is dead now. I haven’t seen Dayton rims on a vehicle in decades now.

I don’t even see ricer import vehicles anymore. That’s another dead scene.

I do see a crap load of modified “overlanders” suv/trucks and bro-dozer HDs. Things certainly have changed

 

My lil’ babies..

Yup. It’s complete. He’s working on a XRunner conversion on a 4 door prerunner at the moment. He just switched out everything from 6lug to 5 lug and installed coilovers up front. Trying to figure out the UCAs since ball joints are maxed.

 

Finished mine last month . My 4dr xrunner . Lol. Got some pics on lowered taco thread
That 2016 converion looks good.

 

Being 5'8" and shrinking as I age with a bad right knee I kinda miss my 94 Ranger's height. Wish the Taco was ~3" lower.

 

Pickup Trucks, they aren’t just for Off Roading anymore. Oh wait, they never were.

 

After searching for what seems like forever, I found out that this is a kit made by honey-d. It runs $3k http://honey-de.com/vehicle/tacoma.html

 

Good find! Looks pretty slick.

 

I always want to see a low suspension 5 lug style Taco like the 2nd Gen.
