    Box Rocket '03 DC Tacoma Build

    At that time I was running: OME 882 Front Coil Springs CS046R Rear Leaf Springs; added a Dakar AAL 29XL because they were running flat. OME N91S Shocks OME N85 Shocks; swapped for N76 shocks to increase travel for the added height of the AAL. No wheel spacers but had a slight rub against the...

    Box Rocket '03 DC Tacoma Build

    No worries Adam - my pleasure; I'd hate to see your truck go through unnecessary surgery. Your picture and description made me recall my rubbing issues when stuffing the rears - I'd drag my 285/75/16 KM's on the forward portion of the rear fender flare from what I could tell by the witness...

    Box Rocket '03 DC Tacoma Build

    Adam, STOP! Don't cut anything! I don't think you need to trim anything to fit those rear tires. I had the same issue with my 33's and Dakars. I added an axle relocation plate(s) to the base of the pack and re-centered my rear axle by moving it like a half inch to the rear. This isn't...

    How tall?

    Need a couple more facts about the vehicle... engine, transmission, added weight (armor). Do you intend to tow; suspension modifications?

    To ARB or not to ARB that is the question

    That's my observation, too. I like the ARB and of course use them for my solid axles but would not do it for IFS for the reasons you cite above. Stock IFS just isn't strong enough to take the stress of being locked. Add suspension lift, weight, larger tires and it's a recipe for disaster. If...

    Top Ten Vehicle Modifications for Overland Travel

    Thanks Toyo for the back-up. (I was going to point out the fact that Oryx has 3 (THREE) Land Rovers because it was hard to tell which one would actually run at any given time, but he already took me to the wood shed on that one a while back. Don't go there!)

    1st or 2nd Gen Tacoma?

    You'll even find years within generations to be hotly debated. For example, within 2001-2004 series Tacomas you'll find changes such as ABS, throttle by wire, and push-button 4WD to be contested as advantageous. You have a good year - stick with it. I sport about the same dimensional...
