Gitout Expedition Build - 2013 Toyota Tacoma DC TRD

Are those the 2.5's? What are the specs on those and cost if you don't mind my asking?

Yes, 2.5". They retail just under $1000.

Custom Deaver Leaf pack arrived on Saturday. Will get it all installed when I get back from SoCal.

I really want to run these on my truck as well. Can't wait to hear what you think of them.

Glad to provide feedback. Will keep you posted.

Cool video. Looks like some tight trails! Body damage was plentiful I'd imagine. Cool heli shots, too.

Thanks! There was some damage to several rigs. Mine made it out without a scratch thanks to the 3m wrap. It was a fun trip!

Finally got some time to install the Icon 2.5" Resis Shocks and Custom Deaver Leaf Pack. Testing to follow soon...

Wow, I had no idea Icon came out with those, I have the 2" versions on my rig that I got in 2008. They are holding up good enough but might need to be re-built because the rebound is starting to fade with the camper on the back full time. Also, mine have the rubber boots, is there not an option for those with their rear sets anymore?

Why did you go with the Deaver opposed to the Dakars? I'm torn between the two for my setup.

WOW! Kodachrome didn't know you were sill around!

I'm not sure if they sell boots for them or not. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea...

Dakars are fantastic. I ran them with the additional leaf. They were good for about 400-500lbs of additional weight. Currently, I'm rolling with 900lbs everyday and an additional 400-600lbs on trips so I needed something custom that would handle the weight.

New record. 5 days! ARB 60quart freezer running continuously without starting the truck. Truck started without issues. For those of you thinking dual batteries are required... you might consider a big Group 31 like this.

If some one made a Plate to put a Larger battery on the Passenger side, id just go ONE battery. But too many Amp hungry toys i want to run, currently Ham equipment alone can hot 75 amps, just imagine if had an ARB cooler, and other junk....

I'll be replacing my tires soon... Does anyone have experience with the Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx? 3 ply sidewall. M+S rating. Similar to the Duratrac tread (at/mt mix). Plus, it comes in the 235/85 size! Measures 31.95" so almost a true 32". 18.5 tread depth.
