I made a bed rack and used the Rustoleum Truck bed coating. I've read that the Truck Bed coating is popular for armor. So, I thought I would give it a try. I like the finish of it. But, I'm not happy with the durability of it. It scratches down to the primer very easily. I know prep is...

Has anybody made an adjustable bed rack? I want to make a bed rack for my '97 Tacoma with the crossbars being able to slide forward and backward.

I am finally biting the bullet and ordering the Bilstein 5165 for the rear of my '97 Tacoma 4WD, 2.5" lift front and rear. I have found two Black Friday deals for two different length shocks. After measuring the suspension travel, the closest length is a 9.8" travel 5165 (14.6 collapsed and...

Anybody have a Yakima Loadwarrior with a bike rack on each side of it? I am wondering how long of crossbars I need to do this.

Going to be ordering the Bilstein 5165 for my '97 Tacoma 4WD V6. The truck is pretty much stock, except for the 2.5" lift. I am replacing the 5100/5125 that I have on it now with the 6112/5165. I don't know what the valving is of the 5125. I am wondering if anybody can recommend which valving I...

I have a buddy that can help me with it. If I do it. Just don't know when he wil have the time.

All those points I have considered and figured it was a lot of work and might not be worth it. I think I am going to pass on it for now. I will cycle my suspension agian and just order the shocks that fit right now. If I find later that the shocks are limiting my travel and if relocating will...

What BKG said, makes sense and that's what I was wondering. I found turbodb's post. They are on Tacomaworld. I am reading through 'em.

That's what I was kind of wondering. I am going to reflex the suspension, again. This time I will disassemble the leaf packs, but only the main leaf attached.

That's why I posted this thread. Trying to learn from others. I cycled the suspension a couple weeks, ago with the shocks off. From what I have been told is I need to disassemble the leaf packs, then cycle the suspension with just the main leafs attached. Which makes since, because I only got a...

I've been told it's because you can use longer shocks to get more travel.

I am going to be getting new rear shocks, soon. My '97 Tacoma is lifted about 2.5" front and rear. I have been thinking about relocating the rear shocks to have them both behind the axle. So, I figured now is the time to do it if I am going to do it. How many of you have the shocks relocated or...

did you have to get wheel spacers? I saw a kit online to move them outboard, but they require wheel spacers.

Sorry, just saw your post. I didn't get an email notification. I am about to get new rear shocks and was contemplating the idea of relocating, again. Checked this thread over and came across your post. The 7100's were suggested to me and I have looked into them.. Just curious, what length do...

I am swapping out the 5100 and 5125 on my '97 Tacoma 4WD to the Bilstein 6112 in the front. I am looking into getting the 5165 for the rear, but it was suggested to me to get the 7100's, since they are basically the same as the 5165, but are revalveable, rebuildable and have a short body option...

I've thought about that. I've seen a few Tacomas that had them relocated. The upper shock mounts were relocated above the frame instead of centered of the frame and the Passenger side was relocated behind the rearend to match the driver's side. The lower mounts were relocated on the backside of...

Thank you for your info. I am trying to get my shocks up as short as possible I will be getting more expensive bumpstops. I have read that if you need to sacrafice one way or the other, to sacrafice droop and not compression. I wasn't planning on limiting straps, but I maybe I will now...
