Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

I need to shop on Ebay more lol

 

This talk of rav4s and such. I can’t even imagine having a vehicle that I couldn’t take out adventuring whenever I feel like. Also my truck has 145k and she’s a baby. I sold my last Tacoma still running great at like 340k.

 

Stick. With. Name. Brands.

You get what you pay for. Want a winch to crap out In the middle of a recovery? Buy cheap.

Also

Recovery classes and youtube are your friend.earn to winch before you need to winch.

As for lights

Name brands usually get you useable lights. Rough country and other cheap brands will get you bang for buck, but you'll end up wasting power on lights that aren't directed or effective.

Usually we don't shod on certain brands in the forums, but I cannot stress enough how cheaply made rough country is with just about anything.

Diode makes a solid product. Baja makes a solid product. Rigid makes a solid product.

Buy quality, so you only have to buy once.

 

I think Rough Country is the best suspension out there

 

Agree. Save up, buy the good stuff. It’ll last and perform better.

also recovery gear needs to be rated and you need to understand those ratings. Just because you can get something cheap, doesn’t mean you should. With the forces at play, it can be a matter of life and death. The extra few dollars is worth it for safety.

people should learn about recoveries BEFORE buying things. Lots of good resources out there (7P, Ronny Dahl, 4xOverland, bob wohlers).

 

This. I said, "fuck King coilovers" and ordered that good shit.

 

I'm thinking Skyjacker for my next setup!

 

Buy once cry once right?

 

OMFG

 

I think that's the kit this guy was running.

 

Honestly? Yeah...

 

No idea, actually. I just thought it was funny

 

Done and done!

I'll be ready for MOAAAAAAAB in no time.

Next to get the predator steps - just as good as sliders.

 

The problem with crying over cheap suspension is that you cry more than once.

 

For me, it was the fact that I had a boss. I should have went with Kings off the rip when I was still living at home, but you live and you learn. Now, I live on my own, no boss and no one to tell me what to do lmao.

The glow up (in life and with the Tacoma) is real.....

 

You're better off now.
