    it is 4wd. I just traded a Subaru Impreza for the Taco and was expecting a little more in the handling, maybe im just spoiled and need to get over it. I love the jacked up Tacos, would love to do that to mine but would never be able to get over the handling that my displays...but seems i just need to spend some $ to fix the problem.

    I know there are threds out there, but I am asking here because we all have RCs.

    What tire pressure do you recommend running? Tires are 265/75 16 Duratrac / C Load Range.

    It is my DD and the majority of the time there will be no/minimal load in the bed. Thanks.

    I have driven many trucks before....all full size and super duty though. Driven man SUV's as well. I would be just fine if it handled like the full size trucks but it handles like a dune buggy. Just want to feel like i can make some turns in a neighbor hood with out bombing out into flames. Maybe my shocks are just completely blown and that is why i have such a problem

    So maybe some of you reg cab guys can give me your opinion....I have 5100s @ 1.75 at the moment but looking to get ome coils so I can run 255/85s. I have a bruteforce hybrid skids and sliders, so should I go 884 or 885s? I don't mind a rough ride but I definitely do not want over 2.5 of lift ideally. I'm leaning towards the 884s because I guess I could always put the 5100s at .85 if it isn't high enough.

    I'm running stock skids on a prerunner and initial measurement was 4" lift with 884 and 5100's but it's probably settled .5-.75"

    Yeah I know I have a lot of weight on there. But I can't remember who it was, but someone with a 4 banger had a ton of weight also and said 885s were too much still

    shoulve got the AFE pro dry s drop in filter..then remove the secondary charcoal filter from the stock box




    i got the 885x..kinda stiff at first..they did break in over time.
    i think my 10ply cooper stt tires make it feel rougher than it really is.

    That's cool,

    Do you have a bed rack? I guess these RTTs need a rack to mount to right?

    What light mounts are those?

    Do you like the LEDs there?

    Nice bumper BTW, can you tell a difference with the auto and how much it weighs at all?

    It's heavy and I haven't taken out for a drive yet. I like the lights where they're at good spot for them only thing is that the hood blocks ths lower part of the beam but nothing too bad. The mounts are relelntless cb hood mounts
