well every setup gets limited by shocks..so i almost guarantee that your leafs will pull 18-20''.

 

That's true, but those extra couple inches are probably separating the leaf pack too much at that point.

 

Ordered! Tim said deaver quoted him a 3 week wait last week though so it might be a bit with Thanksgiving coming up as well.

 

Thats a good option for the exhaust re route. Me likey. I wasn't planning to re route my exhaust but that's a nice setup. What diameter pipe did you use? I know the exhaust is double layered at that spot from when I did daisys re route.

 

Yea, it's worked out well so far. Another option is like URD does it under the trans, and since we have manuals there is no tight quarters under the trans due to the big ass pan. I think my local guy used 2" and just flaired it to weld up to the inner pipe of that double walled section. Idk tho could be 2.25...? Never asked him.

URD \/

 

Figured i'd put these in here too... Linked in the OP too.

Thanks again Brady for rolling us through Hells Half Acre! Some gnarly rock in there To date it was the most technical i've wheeld my truck. Would have taken all day without your and Bobs spots! Fyi, anyone doubting the toughness of a Tacoma needs to wheel with Brady... nuff said. Brady, you sir are a proper rock lobster.




Brady supplied us with a plethora of laughs







Peekaboo!









Need bigger TARS!






My wife, the trooper Pert psyched after a night camping in 14*...














The anything smaller than 35's eater!

 

Looks like a hoot

 

We did actually hear owls that night! and ducks at weird hours of the night.

But yes, was an awesome time. Tested my wife's patients but she pulled through lol.

 

Haha! Hey at least she tags along. I should find a sugar mama that loves wheelin.

 

That would be a Yatzee Jackpot!

She's getting better. Used to get "truck"-sick really easy and now is much better! It's definitely more fun when she comes with until she's had enough...

 

X2 oh wait my gf loves wheelin' haha

 

Man dem some gnar pics there! Any plans for a front bumper Marc? You're bushwhacking quite a bit, might be really handy to have a beefy front bumper

 

At some point there will be a front bumper... But for now i'm just gonna drag the stock one around. Really it's not a huge hindrance since I usually make contact with the hooks and front skid first. I just stay away from ledges. Gonna be a Pelfrey or CBI 3 hoop.

 

Might I suggest Pelfreybilt...I hear ya on the bumper. Stock for me is not a big deal so I don't mess with replacing that sexy 2012 front end just yet...

 

Talked with AP today. They are warrantying out the expos on my truck. Really happy! Sagging was way too bad with only 450 lbs in the rear. I pulled my drive shaft off the diff and made sure my slip yoke was working, and it was real smooth. Also pulled the spring out of the shackle and made sure the shackle moved freely in the hanger, it did. So it came down to the spring.... Thanks for sending me a new pair AP!

 

Nice!!! Hopefully it is the springs and this solves your problem!!

 

I hope so too cuz i've double checked everything that could be giving me hangups! I'm tired of wrenching on the truck just to make sure things are working how they should...

 

whaaaa???? Thats the whole point haha

glad they are replacing them though..

 

haha wut? Doing what I did today is different than just checking and making sure everything is holding up ok. Like pulling my driveshaft off the third to see if my slip yoke is slipping... Not a fun or super easy task cuz those bolts can be bastards and were today, too much loctite, but that's my own fault

I'm glad they are too. Kurtis said they should be holding up much better with the weight i've got on them...

 

i like taking anything apart..

its fun..haha

but your talking to a guy that'll rip apart his entire rear suspension just to flip leaf pack sides..

werid. I wonder if you accidentally got normal ones..

probably not though..would flex much better then..
