    Rear Shock question

    So, last fall I had to replace my rear shocks as the old ones were toast. I called my somewhat local Toyota 4X4 shop, told them what I had (which is a 98 Tacoma, with and add-a-leaf) giving about a 2" lift, and I ordered some Bilstein 5125s. They figured on the 10 inch shocks. I installed...

    Tire Size Question

    Hello all, I've got a 98 Tacoma 4banger, currently running 265 70 16s (31") I'm considering going up to the 265 75 16s (32"). Am I going to notice the extra inch in regards to gearing, or power loss climbing hills on the highway?? Thanx, MM

    Tire Pressures??

    Hello all, I have a set of LC80 wheels on my wifes 2000 4Runner, running a 265 70/16. I picked them up used, and were obviously run at to high of an air pressure, as the tread is worn more in the middle. As I'm new to the 4Runner, and the 8 inch wide wheels, I'm curious as to what others are...

    Kazuma/TRD Limited Slip?

    I was looking to get into the ARB air lockers for my Taco, but reading the new 4WD Toyota Owners mag, on the '99 4cyl Tacoma they are building up, they went with the TRD LSD due to the fact that it is a daily driver and wanted to go with less wear on the drive train. Does anyone have any...
