Lowering a Tacoma????

Okay guys, I've put on my flame suit for this. So I'll ask, has anyone ever lowered a Tacoma?

 

I dont think many have done it, but lowering tacomas used to as easy as buying the 2wd model that already was lower, had car tires, and was a bare bones truck. Its kinda sad that most dont offer the lowered base models anymore.

Yes it has been done. No I don’t know where to buy the parts

 

I did a Google search for you. I just typed in “lowered Toyota Tacoma”. This was the first link on the very long list. You’re welcome......

Why did I ask this question? Have you guys noticed that almost all pickup trucks (now-a-days) you need a step ladder to check the oil? The Tacoma is not that bad. I don't think I'll be a rock crawler, just a daily driver with some towing. For my taste I'd like to see the Tacoma just 2" lower. But after watching some of the youtube videos, it looks like a major project that I would not want to do to a new truck. Thanks for the replies

 

Don't

 

I feel you, Tom. All of the manufacturers full size trucks are laughable in bed height - quite honestly to the point where they’re becoming unusable. Have you purchased a Tacoma yet? I see your bio says “Looking 2020 Tacoma”

 

I disagree, single cab, older 2wd GM 1500's should absolutely be lowered and then a Chinese turbo kit should be strapped to it for all the cheap fun.

 

Meh, my first truck was a 2001 F150 that was lowered. I still miss that thing. Could make that truck slide corners and burn rubber like no other truck I have owned could

 

I’ve actually been thinking of doing this myself. There are a lot of Tacoma’s in my area and every single one has the exact same mods 3 inch lift 285s raptor grill and so on. I thought it might be fun to drop it down and make a street truck out of it not sure I ever will though.

 

Looks just as awful as it sounds.

 

It's okay, I built it for me. It spent more time offroad and hauled more stuff than most of the lifted trucks on TW

 

How dare you!!

 

Forgive me Father for I have sinned

 

Yeah there's like a bunch of threads about it.

 

You're not wrong about that! Bros broin' be strong these days.

 

Lowered and truck shouldn't be used in the same sentence.

 

Why not, street trucks are sweet.
