The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

No regrets at all. I freaking love it.

In fact i hate not having LT on my other tacoma for offroading. Its a night and day difference. Well worth it. You won't have any regrets.

I can't wait to beef up the rest of the truck to take full advantage of it.

 

Great to hear. I'm going with the ADS coil-overs too. What spring weight did you go with? Did you get your axels from Matthew?

 

I got the axle's from Matt yes. ADS is the way to go for sure!

I'm running 16''x700lb coils right now. But my truck is a heavy bastard. I'd like to try 18''x600lbs though

And 18' by 500lbs would be interesting on a lighter truck. Or just 16''x600s are pretty standard.

 

Thank you for the great info. This helps a lot since you're actually running/testing this stuff. Did you run the LT kit with the stock bumper? Approx how much "over stock" extra weight do you have up front? I've got the v6 as well so that'll help me gauge the weight I'll need to go with.

 

No i didn't have the stock bumper. A guy on here has a the stock bumper though and this kit. Can't think of his screen name though...

Well i have a plate bumper, a thick front skid plate, winch, and two batteries up front as well as a supercharger.

So if i put an approximate number on it id say anywhere from 100-200lbs extra if not more. Couldn't say honestly.

 

Yeah bro, when you air down your tires and are running LT it's absolutely insane how our trucks behave. Especially with the rear done too. I couldn't believe what I was going over and fast. Jeeps were doing like 5mph and I'd have to pass them doing like 30 on tough big bump rock mountain trails. So fun to humiliate Jeeps and anything else with a LT Taco!

 

airing down helps a lot. It is fun to fly over stuff!

 

I want SC...

 

I don't. Unless it works lol

 

I read so much.... so what do we think the problem is? Timing?

 

Possibly yes.

My plan now is new Knock sensors(Probably try the GM ones) and wiring and 02 sensors. Go through all the vacuum lines and make sure that's all happy.

If that doesn't work. Bitch is coming off.

 

Thats where it'll go if Frank rejects it.

 

All this time i thought Igor was a 4cyl. No idea why lol

 

If you run out of mod ideas

 

So what air pressure are you guys running and what size rubber?

 

Nope v6! Would love to swap a 5 speed in...

35x12.5r15. I run 32psi for street use. 10psi offroad.

 

No.

I did appericate it though. I've wheeled with a 5speed, 33s, and 4.10s. Its not the funnest way to crawl. The auto let me have great control during crawling with 33s and 4.10s.

Id want a regear much sooner with a 5 speed.

 

Auto ftw

 

Your auto isn't bad. I don't mind my dads other then its not fast at shifting with the SC on it.

But its nice to drive around with and offroad with.

Mine is not as nice..
