Western Massachusetts Tacomas

Thank you. i
Appreciate the Advice. I will be checking these all out.

 

Morning Neighbors
Dusting of wet snow out here ,still got some mix coming down a little.

 

Good morning neighbors from Southwick Massachusetts.
We have a light, dusting here nothing is sticking to the ground at all whatsoever, just sticking to everything else. Lol I’m happy to say I will be driving north to New Hampshire to Nashua to visit my son today. He works for Raytheon. What a good company.

anyone out there have a nice daughter about 25 years old. That’s looking for a decent boyfriend who makes great money and is very respectable.

 

Sister in law but she's 29 and a professor at stonehill

 

in all honesty, what's your budget? This is going to allow us to help you get the best ride for the money that you are willing to spend. What exactly do you want to do with the truck? What percentage off road compared to what percentage daily driver? Highway driving? City driving? What type of tires are you looking at? What type of off-road and would you be doing? Just fire roads and dirt? Rocks? How often? Are you looking at it for more looks and comfort or off-road incapability? This will give me a general idea of what direction to have you go down and what is going to fit best for the least amount of money.

 

So I’m going to do some off-road trips. Camping in the wilderness. Four wheeling in the beach and wherever life takes me along with a road trip across the country
My budget is 3-4 K
Fire roads dirt. Sand and snow sun dessert. no racing. No rock crawling needed.
I want comfort an looks but I want it to be pleasant to drive. My wife uses it too every once in a while. I want a 2” lift. I won’t be carrying a ton of weight. But might have a tent on top of the bed or a possible towable camper.

 

3-4K is WELL within that capability.


Here is the first part:

Bilstein 6112/5160 on the 10/8 notch with 600lb springs (which we can change if the height isn't to your liking)
NO UCA's since you are really not going balls to the walls need for articulation.
HS 3 leaf AAL
24" rear Stainless steel extended break lines
an ARB Carrier bearing drop

Free shipping : $1797.77

Second part:
ECGS front clamshell bushing to replace the needle bearing: $60

grand total before Installation: $1857.77

for what you want to do, anything more than that, is just showing off and anything less than that, you really will get the ride quality that you are looking for.
it is also a very great foundation if you ever want to build upon it.

thanks I appreciate the list. Please recommend a set of upper control arms as well. I just want to get it done while it is already apart.

This is what I have for UCA'S......easy to maintenance, BJ is very easy to change, everything is greasable with zerks, and great value for money. I have had mine for 5 years now and changed out the bushings and bj's just last year, but I also wail on mine lol.

 

Hey just figured I throw it out there have a few spare parts that have been taking up space in my garage (all free). I’m just looking to get rid of and they all work. Most for 3rd gen but wheel spacers will work with any truck.
