Yeah, but that's just the clutch. Isn't the whole transmission closer to an auto? Maybe not, I haven't priced out new ones. Back when I was racing autox, I do recall more than one person money-shifting. I remember those suckers paying a lot more than $1kprice you pay when you can't properly shift 3-4.
I see. I would be on the plane right now to OK if they were truly $40k OTD. Or at least scheming ways to minimalize the loss on my truck to get one.![]()
What kind of autocross were you doing to be making a 3-4 shift? In years of autocrossing it was rare to even get into 3rd. Most cars will do 60mph in 2nd.
I didn't know they were going to have Fox shocks. Nice truck, just don't think I could live with a mid-size truck.
II take my T4R pro into the desert every week and have hit 80 in fast sections a number of times. Hell ive hit 70 in my quarter million mile stock Tacoma a number of times with no problems. It's really amazing what you can do with your truck off the shelf.^ The idea that you can't benefit from quality springs and dampers as well as a slightly increased ride height unless you're bombing through the desert is silly.
Also, this truck would fall apart doing 100mph through the desert. So would a Raptor. The truth of these OEM rigs is they're gonna perform best and survive longest on mild to moderate trails and FSRs. They'll do them at slightly higher speeds and much greater comfort levels than the trims below them, but desert runners they are not.

It is ok for graded dirt roads....truck whoops, no...
I have broken rear springs jumping cattle guards at 60+ mph, twice....Even with the Pro's...it is a matter have time before you break something, if you're pushing it hard. So much cheaper just to buy a dirt bike, than trying to build up a truck that will go the same speed, and able to beat on it the same. I certainly don't drive my truck, like I do the dirt bike.
All that said the 17 Tacoma suspension looks even better than the Bilstein one I have.
BTW screw dirt biking. I do not have that kind of athleticism.
