    I've been running the stock size 31X10.5x15 wheels on my 97 Tacoma 4WD. It's a daily driver driver. I have a buddy whom offered to give me his stock 16" rims off of his 2nd gen Tacoma prerunner, that have just been sitting in his garage for years. I've been looking into tires, lately because I...

    powering 12v fridge

    I'm looking to get a 12v fridge. I'm thinking of running the fridge off of my '97 Tacoma, then switching it over to solar and power station once I get to the location and then running off of the truck again for the trip home. I know there's the dual battery setup. But, don't plan on running the...

    Solar on rack

    I'm building a rack on my 5x8 utility trailer to haul my kayak and possibly two kayaks. I want to put solar panels on the rack, as well. Do any of you have solar panels and haul kayaks on racks? I'm trying to figure out how to have both.

    12v portable fridge

    I've been looking into fridges. I use two coolers now, one for drinks and the other for food and milk. The fridge will replace the food cooler. I'm not completely sold yet on a dual zone, since I'm use to using coolers. But since you can use both sections as fridges, I'm contemplating the idea...

    Rattle can truck bed coating

    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...

    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...

    Bilstein 5125/5165 valving for Tacoma

    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.

    Thinking about relocating the shocks on my 1st gen Tacoma

    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...

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...
