Need Help outfitting 2013 TX Pro!

Hello all!

I am new here and would love some advice from you seasoned experts!

I have a 2013 TX Pro 4x4 that currently has Fab Four front and rear bumpers, an XRC Wench, Yakima roof rack and 2inch spacer blocks.

I am looking to do a suspension lift (3inch) along with getting a bed rack, (looking at the Hooke Road Tacoma High Bed Rack on Amazon), Rooftop tent and some external lights (light bar or other lights?)

Questions currently are;
What lift kit? What Shocks, coils, springs?
Do I need to change my gear ratios?
Size of tires?
Any axel changes?
What lights should I be looking at?
Any experience with rooftop tents?

If these questions are posted and answered somewhere I apologize and would love the link to those threads.

Thanks for the help and advice!

 

Wow. Lots 'o Q's.

Suggest starting by calling Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road to go over your suspension options.

Some answers will be relative to your budget, you DIY skills (vs pay someone).

It's also important to consider how you will really use the truck. So many dive off the deep end and never get much past KOA or local fire trails.

Welcome.

PS. You are right. Plenty of material to research with here. The search engine works well enough. My 'link' offering is Marie.

 

Marie is no longer at Headstrong, new owners don't provide good customer service anymore.

 

Yikes! Thanks for the tip!

How far out of date am I? (When did she leave?)

 

Based on participation here I'd say around october

 

Had to have been after because I had conversations with her at the end of November through their profile here. Also bought my suspension from them. Good experience, but I'd love to know more if she is in fact gone. Because that is not very cash money of them.

 

I suggest a dobinsons set up from @Crikeymike from exit offroad.

 

Thanks for the heads up! As far as budget goes, I'd say I would probably like to stay around $5k-$7k all in for purchases of all equipment not including paying someone to install the lift, coils and shocks and whatever else I may need. If that is reasonable?

I can install the bed rack and roof rack and tent and all that myself most likely.

I live in the foothills outside of Denver so mostly a weekend warrior with the occasional week long trip to Utah and Moab and things totally off grid.

 

Marie and Rob are no longer the owners, they sold their interest in the business

 

You can do a lot with that kind of budget. Plus most suspension install can actually be done in your driveway with basic hand tools and a buddy who's willing to help. @Crikeymike Is top notch with customer service, he can really help get you set up with what you need.

Ah ok. Good luck to them then.

 

Anyone have any experience with Crosswind AT tires? 285/70R16

 

Toytec is another good source.
