Yeah, I have all the Dissent stuff, front, rear and roof. Plus skid plates, drawers and family of 5 with a dog and luggage to match. I still don't need thicker torsion bars. My recommendation is to do Patch's bars and get an Eibach Pro Truck kit with the HD springs for a comfortable ride. If...

What are your plans as far as adding weight? Thicker torsion bars make for a pretty awful ride on stock or close-to-stock vehicles (I have a lot of add-ons and still run OEM non-AHC bars). If you can score a set of non-AHC take-offs, that's probably your best bet. Otherwise, it looks like...

I ran 33s on stock AHC for a long time. No mods needed. And if you go with a skinny 33, you'll avoid any serious increase in wear and tear over stock. My recommendation is to NOT deactivate AHC. The system works best with regular exercise. Keep the fluid fresh, the pressures in spec, the...

How do you like the ride with your current springs? I'm an AHC-lover, so I wanted something as close to that ride as possible and the Eibach kit delivers. I encourage giving Tanner Hallihan at Eibach a call and discuss your setup. He's a member here and his 100 was the test rig for development...

Eibachs are lower rates than pretty much every other aftermarket spring available, but they have a taller free height. If you're stock, get the standard springs. If you're loaded up, have a rear bumper, drawers or any of the typical overland stuff, go for the HD springs. I'm happy with mine...

They're good. No tramlining and they balanced fine. They do get noisier as they wear, though.

I'll stick with the 1.25" that I currently have, for now.

I still love the 255s and plan to stick with them, so I can't offer any opinion on your first question. Regarding your second point about ATs in 255, I'm planning on upgrading to a set of Mickey Thompson Baja Boss ATs in 255/85R17 on a set of Rock Warriors. They are an aggressive AT, but...

Been a while since I've posted here but I thought I'd give your thread a bump. Had the Eibach kit installed to replace a failed AHC system. Got the shocks and the HD rear springs along with OEM non-AHC front t-bars. It's hard to isolate the effects of the springs and shocks alone since I had...

I use eye bolts in the sides of the cross bars as anchor points and strap things down. For those cases, i installed footman loops on them and ran some webbing straps through to the eye bolts. It keeps them in place but still easy to remove without having to open them and take out the contents.

That looks amazing! Waiting on the LX470 version with bated breath... ;)

That's awesome! I think the LX grill really lends itself to the design of the pro grille.

I stumbled my way into here from the 100 series forum. Please, can we have one of these grills for the LX470? Pretty please?

I have both. The 100 is the family adventure wagon and the Tacoma (3rd gen) is my daily. Despite being 20 years newer, the Tacoma feels much more primitive. That being said, keep both if you can. The Taco is great when you need a bed and the gas savings is minor but noticeable.

I love it. It's a no-cut hybrid (steel/aluminum). I bought it before the full aluminum was available and would have preferred the weight savings, as you said. I've had zero issues with it, honestly. Putting it together was a bit of a puzzle but that's about it. The latching system is also a...
