I just purchased a 2014 AC 4x4. I have owned a few Toyota pickups but never a 2nd gen. I am pretty excited.
This is going to be a fun build.
I am picking it up this weekend and I started ordering parts ASAP.
Here is the build:
First, it is getting a UTE LTD flatbed, should be here by Friday.
Next OME suspension.
I will be running an ARB bumper and a winch. I am going to go with 2886 coils upfront.
The rear will be about 60/40 mix of unloaded to loaded. I think a stock Tacoma bed is about 350lbs. UTE LTD. says the flatbed is 250lbs. I was thinking the mediums might be sufficient. I do not want to ride around with the rear 2" higher when unloaded. Trying to maintain a close to factory rake.
I also went ahead and ordered new bushings and UCA's and bump stops.
Initially, I was thinking I would run 255/85/16. I have read they rub on the 2nd gen. I am now on the hunt for the tallest thinnest 265/75/16 ha ha
The truck will see a good amount of HWY going from A to B. Then it will spend alot of time offroad, logging roads, MTS, snow, mud, etc. It will not be used to rock crawl or jump sand dunes.
Thanks
