NW WA Meet / BS Thread

My understanding is the only difference is the little metal bump upwards where the headlights meet the grill.

 

Or if anyone wants to buy my US Off-road winch mount and Piaa light bar mount for a decent amount I’ll juts buy the ARb and switch to that lol

 

What else is needed to install that ARB bumper as it IS tempting? Does it come with hardware or is that extra, also what about skidplates?

 

Doesn’t come with skid plates. The bumper itself is 500$ and the mounting kit is 400. So the store doesn’t have the mounting kit but can order it in from ARB. Hence the OBO on the bumper itself, but not on the mounting kit from ARB

 

haha no aftermarket bumpstops! you are a riot!

 

My $1200 63 setup works just fine and has more ground clearance

 

Fine maybe if you like going slow! SUA would still be better

 

Meh I have a couple buddies that have sua crawlers and they hate it. I can pretty much do ~30-50mph through almost all the whoop sections at Moses Dunes, which is the only go fast stuff we have here. For the money into sua, you are pretty much at the same cost as linking it lol. Plus, the god awful shackle hangers most kits have are insanely big/low hanging.

 

I dunno about that! Kinda hard to get a decent link setup with stock gas tank. Links would no doubt be best but I’d still much prefer SUA over SOA even on the road. Less axle wrap, no need for a stupid traction bar. More up travel. I could go on…

 

Nah you just 3 link it since even that is still better than leafs/sua. Same-ish amount of work, too.

 

No freaking way that a decent 3 link setup costs the same or takes the same amount of work as a decent SUA that’ll outperform ANY SOA setup in almost every regard. Anyway, I’m over arguing this. Each to their own I guess, glad you’re happy with your setup and it works for you

 

Yep, my buddy that runs a shop just did a full sua kit on one truck, and then a 3 link right after on another. Think he said he was into parts a couple hundred cheaper with the 3 link than the full Sua. Anyways, yeah mine works wonderful for being cheap as hell until I link it, and let me know if you want to go wheel to show me how much greater your sua is.

 

Can I come? I’ll show why 4 link is king….lmao

 

This is a peasant only argument/comparison

 

Nice which ones did you go with? I finally broke down and ordered the rear 10 in with clickers to replace bilstein B110 and should be here wed. Gonna rebuild my fronts and add clickers and new spherical bearings after 50k.

 

Bruh, some of us got minivan motors in our trucks…be gentle

 

Hey pal this is Tacoma World, not Tacoma Cab and 2/3 of a Tacoma Frame World

 

Got them installed today. 10”. Thanks @tonered

 

is there even a reason to be linked unless you're SAS or have something crazy like marlins RCLT kit? genuinely curious

 

I wanted 20"+ of travel....lol. but my truck is set for desert/go fast stuff not crawling so...
