Over the long run that extra 145lbs on the front will wear out the stock suspension. With that said my friend's truck is a '16 Tacoma TRD Pro and it handles the weight pretty well but off-road he has to slow down a bit. (He has the bumper and winch plus a bed rack system which is another...
I do not have one but a friend of mine does. It looks great! The fit and finish is top notch. It looks like a factory part. I would have got one but sadly they don't make them for the 05-11.
And we have the wheels and tires mounted!
Overall I'm really happy with the truck. It drives great. The only thing I still have to do is cut the body mount.... I wasn't planning it with the research I did but turns out I will need to.

It took two days, one frozen cam adjuster and a whole lot of warm clothing but the OME lift is finally on. It went on super easy with only the exception being one cam adjuster which was persuaded by a BFH. I did the fronts on thursday and the rear on friday...
As far as I understand they are great trucks. I have 2009 with 190K on it and it runs and drives great. I'm sure the newer models drive a little smoother, more efficiently, and have more creature comforts.
As far as capability, I think that depends on how hard you want to beat your $40K...
Just pulled the trigger on the OME lift from OK4WD. Super nice guys/gals. The lift should be here by the end of the month. Now I just have to order some new LCA's and we'll be ready for installation! :clap:
We are finally prepping for the purchase of the lift, aux lights, and some other little things for the Red Devil! I've done tons of research on the type and kind of lift we need. I've settled for the OME 2 inch (885 springs, 90021 struts, and Dakar rear leaf springs). I'll be ordering it from...
Sorry to hear that you got con'd like that.
I would research lemon laws in Florida and see what they say. Also you could call the dealer that did the inspection and raise hell, I know I would. If you go the legal route it's most likely going to be expensive and lengthy because you'll have...
It was a good weekend away from the house.
Well the truck has 186,xxx on it. The bad one had already been replaced once but it was missing the o-ring behind the bearing. So I assume that was reason it went bad prematurely. We have driven through water and some mud but nothing spectacular...
Then is past weekend I decided to look over the truck in prep for a trip to Montgomery, AL. Good thing I did as I found a bad front wheel bearing. So I replaced both front bearings this week.
Two weeks ago we did an overnighter at a local land preserve as a part of a MTB trail building weekend. It had been raining quite a bit so the water fall was awesome! But it did rain on us just as we got camp set up. We were able to pull a tarp over the tent quickly to save some dry ground.
My advise is to check Craigslist and TW for a used one. There are tons of them for a good deal. That's how we got our Camper Top. We paid a quarter of the price for a used one that had all the features we wanted including a Thule rack with a tray. It's just a way to save some a bunch of...
