SW PA/Pittsburgh and wherever camping, wheeling and beer trips

Lol awesome. Welcome to TW

 

Of course they’re welcome. A lot of us even have 4runners(we sold ours a little while back) because it was getting stale from not driving it. A lot of us on here aren’t big on Facebook so it’s perfect. I haven’t been active in a while from being busy, but will probably host a ride by my area in Connellsville, PA this fall and winter.

 

I am down for the count now. I have successfully worn out my leaf springs on my 2018 to the point they are slamming my frame rails when I bottom out. So on top of needing to build my woodshed, put a flu in my chimney, and finish a bathroom build I know need to put some new metal under my truck. Let’s see how long this all takes…

 

as long as its a toyota its welcome. Theres a reason why we are all on here and talk on here. If i wanted to meet a group of guys on facebook id go there….just seems like theres too many people that lack the ability to use google…and that would be the main reason why i am here

 

Is your suspension currently stock?

 

All stock suspension

 

Nice, Im still all stock too. Im always throwing the idea around lifting it but dont really want to spend the money and deal with potential vibes like my 2nd gen.

Seems as though these are just fine stock. Especially seeing the places you have takin yours.

 

Awesome! I’ll keep an eye out

 

drive it till its clapped out. Much like loco mine did the same thing after 2-3 years of hauling wood. Best bang for the buck was the OME IMO. +550 springs and a 2.5” lift for around 1400. Drive it till kt needs replaced then upgrade. I have zero issues with mine. Would recommend. I think condor has the same rear springs in his truck too. The only downfall to the tacoma is its hauling ability. 2 dirtbikes and its almost on the frame…


In all the wheeling we have done together the stock height hasnt hindered loco too much. The lift def makes it easier tho!!!

 

I have made up my mind that if I would lift, it would in fact be OME all the way around. I did the research on OME and it seems to fit the bill for me.

I would definitely be able to justify buying that set up when it becomes more of a need when the suspension grows too tired.

 

I ordered mine from ATS I believe. It is a PA company. You can order whatever lift you want and spring rate basically. I'm currently built 1300# over stock on each side iirc. $550 shipped last fall. I turned the medium duty Dakar into a W in 2 years. If you haul, or are going to add a bumper with swingout or bedrack Id plan heavy.
Current situation

 

Smacked a deer on my way to work.

Oh and he shit on my door during impact to add insult to injury

 

all i see is the opportunity for a steel bumper and a fancy winch....

 

That sucks man. So much for the TSS system braking for deer!!

 

I dont have TSS but he was in a full run and I literally had no time to brake. Happened so fast.

I ordered a pro grille

 

I drove past your place last weekend. We saw the four runner, but not the Tacoma. It was last Saturday around 5:30

 

I got the truck back Thursday. Body by Cochran in greensburg did a great job on it.

 

awesome!

 

Old Man Winter stopped by yesterday!
