Your pro/con list seems pretty spot on. Good news is they would have replaced a lot of rusty hardware and things that got touched during frame replacement. I'm not sure I'd be too concerned about purchasing a truck that's had the frame replaced; a lot of the other rust would be visible to the...

Awesome! How'd you place? I was always leery of urban DH type races, probably too many hucks to flat on DH bikes in my younger days to make me consider such a thing. :D

Oh but I wish I could. Unfortunately, I now have a big beautiful box of King shocks sitting on my garage floor just in time for my truck to disappear into the shop. The original plan was to have them on well before this but a significant delay in their acquisition means I now have to wait until...

Dropped the truck off at the body shop this morning for an undefined amount of time. This is to repair the damage sustained in the hail storm in early May. They'll probably think I'm a tad weird when they see the interior is stripped of pretty much everything except the driver's seat. What can I...

IMG_2854 by Tim Souza, on Flickr There we go. You can see the raised lip of the aftermarket weatherstripping that I drilled a hole through. The OEM stuff wasn't so bad either, just lift it up a bit and get in there with a tiny drill bit.

I can post up a picture later, but I drilled small holes in the rubber weatherstripping and ran the zip ties through those. I did that both with the OEM weatherstripping as well as the aftermarket one I have now post-windshield replacement. I tried the stuffing it in the channel method before...

ARB Safari Snorkel DSC_3765 by Tim Souza, on Flickr Snorkels are a polarizing item, some think they are functionally unnecessary, others just think they are plain ugly. Me? I think they are endearingly ugly. This wasn't a mod that was originally on the to-do list, but I stumbled into a...

Hey Kyle, Most of the time my truck is in the dirt it is on moderately rated or easier trails. The reality is I have no desire (nor the proper vehicle in all honesty) to tackle anything more difficult than that. That said, the hard thing to quantify is how the performance of suspension...

This thing is absurdly awesome. Can't wait to see it in the dirt again and must hear about how well the 4-linked rear does. Any reason you didn't do a hydrobump setup while you were at it?

Also, having had the cab-high shell and a mid-rise, I'd choose the mid-rise all day every day, especially whereas we sleep in the back. There's just so much more room for activities and hauling around those awkward things. Unless there was a very compelling reason to get the cab-high I'd...

Thanks bud! I'd be happy to give my thoughts on suspension, especially whereas I had already discussed this with another member in length; I'll just copy over my thoughts. :D Instead of answering your question directly, I’ll step through the thought process and answer it along the way...

Remote reservoirs + larger diameter shock body is about the best you'll do without getting uber fancy. My preference would be Kings. http://www.autoanything.com/suspension-systems/king-oem-performance-shock-upgrade-kits

Solid Axle Swap.

Sad ending for a truly epic build. If he doesn't, maybe you should buy it back and turn it into that crawler. Tucked at the bottom of the carnage post: "An Asian woman in a minivan spun out on the freeway at 75 mph and drilled him right in the middle of the front passenger tire. It pushed him...

I'll be curious to see how you handle storage with the FWC and the cab of the Tundra. The wife and I were in a similar predicament and ended up ordering a cargo trailer that will be built into a travel trailer. There just wasn't enough storage with a truck + FWC for the 2 of us and 3 dogs.

Something to consider for sure. You have the OGE kit right? May end up grabbing that and sucking up the cost of 2 group 35 Optimas. 72lbs vs. the stock group 27F at 50, so not the best, not the worst.

The OEM location may be my best bet, but its not unheard of for the sheet metal support under the battery on the Tacoma to tear (https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ripped-sheet-metal-driver-side-wheel-well-not-the-battery.484715/). Might be an inevitable result of playing hard in the dirt, but...

F'kin A man, glad to hear. Now get it back on 4 wheels so you can long travel through the snow.

Anyone running a dual battery setup in their Tacoma with the second battery in the bed? They would be paired with a Blue Sea ACR, just mulling over if there's a good way to run wiring or if it's just awkward either way. Thinking that may be the ticket for the times when I have the fridge in...

Have a chance to pull the diff drop yet? I keep checking back to see if that was the culprit, for some reason I really want to know if that alleviates your problems. :sombrero:
