Would you recommend the 2in lift ith procomp shocks I've been eyeing that

 

That's what I just put on my truck.

I bought the 2" kit off eBay from supreme suspension. It was a little expensive but I like it. The front shocks require some fabrication for them to work. My kit came with the AAL in rear which I enjoy much better then a block

 

What was wrong with the shocks?

 

The fronts have a different style mount on them the must cut the bracket and nock it out of the bushing then it will bolt to your lower control arm. Simple solution. The shocks are vary fit shocks intended for other types of vehicles. So minor modification is required. It took me 3 hours to do my complete kit by myself. That was start to finish

 

I took a Small ride today. About 1.5 hours. I had fun and enjoyed it.

 

I wish i was there with you bro!

 

Really dig the tires!
Do you plan on building a front bumper like your 93s?
I heard about the water stuff in wva is it affecting you?

 

No technically it doesn't affect me because I use a well. But if I had city water then yes I'd be affected just like the others around me. I live in Jackson County about 20 miles from the chemical leak. My children haven't been in school since December 18. There Christmas break latest from 12/18 - 1-1 and then we got hit by that darn article blizzard which had schools canceled and now here's this darn water issue which has schools closed. They have had one awesome break if ya ask me. But man I have 4 of emm and good lord I need a break.

As for bumpers::::: yes sir. Front and rear with sliders. My bed is coming first tho.

 

I traded my 33/12.50 Boggers for a set of 34/10.50 TSL's.

The 34's clear a lot better then the 33's due to only being 10.50's. The ride quality is awesome again lol. Those Boggers are rough lol.

 

are those taco wheels gold?

 

Yeah they are :/ I've never seen gold ones before. I asked they guy about them and he said they were on the truck when he got them so that's all I know. If my truck was a solid color I believe they would look good on my truck. However I hate that style wheel lol.

 

I done a few things to my T100 today. First off I replaced the front Driveshaft with one that I had rebuilt. After that I replaced all 3 belts under the hood. Believe it or not 2 of the belts were factory belts. One said Denso the other said Toyota. The 3rd one said something Boshe. But needless to say they were hardened up and cracked all to pieces.

Last thing I did was replace the Driver rear cab mount. The metal on frame, not the bushing. I went to the local pull a part and cut off both rear mounts for my cab. The driver rear was almost gone. The passenger rear is still intact but it's rough too. I will change the passenger rear another day. But here's some pics of the mount replacement.

 

Today turned out to be a decent day as far as weather goes. It's cold but dry. I took advantage of that to replace my other cab mount.

Upon removing the cab mount I discovered that my frame was rotted out too. Not entirely but it had a decent hole in it. So I patched that then fabbed in my new cab mount.








Now all my rust issues are taken care of. Time to build my new bed!

 

Looking good glad to hear you got the rust fixed. I love seeing t100s on here get changed into something cool. It's kinda funny because some hardcore yota guys say the t100 is the step child or the fat girl of the toyota world but yet EVERY owner I have ever talked to EVER has had a great experience with the truck. Keep us posted. Are you going to paint the tacowheels or get other rims?

 

Thanks... I've done ditched the Taco wheels. I stuck my tundra Steelies and 285's back on. I'm waiting on my Taxes to hit my bank lol. I'm going to be running 315/75r16's on my tundra Steelies with 1" spacers. A 315 is a 35" tire. The wheel spacers are to keep my tires off the frame.

 

Hey guys I need some HELP!!!!!

Okay as most know it's Tax Season. I filed my taxes back in January and my return is expected back any day. Which means...... I got T100 money lol... I was going to finish up on my 87 SAS but decided to build up the T100 since it's my DD.

Now here's my thoughts.... And please any and all opinions needed here.

As of right now I'm running with 2" of suspension lift. I know for a fact that I can clear a 35" tire with out rub. My plans were to by some 315/75r16's and be done with my suspension plans. However I started searching and found out that Super Lift still carries the 4"-5" lift for the T100. It also comes with rear blocks but I can get rid of those later down the road. Now I'm am in know way interested in SASing my t100 so I'm not worried about wasting money on the bracket lift. So what do you guys think. What size tire do you think I could clear. I don't want to go buy those 315's then add the bracket lift only to need a larger tire to make it look right. I want the extra lift to run a larger tire for better ground clearance. I'm not too concerned about being to high because I don't do major wheeling in the T100. A mud hole here and there and your typical weekend warrior type of rig. So guys help me out here. Give me some pros and cons. Tire size recommendation.

Now my second thing. I will be doing a complete exhaust job. My crossover pipe is busted and my Oxygen sensors are junk. So I'm going to be replacing it all. I've been looking for a set of headers. I've found 2 different sets. The one I've been considering is the OBX off eBay for $350.00. They come with gaskets and all. Has anyone bought and ran these. Rest of the exhaust will be done at my local exhaust shop. Probably gonna run a single on dual out flowmaster. Do you guys recommend a different header. If so please explain why.

Now for my gears. I've got a front 4.88 3rd from a pickup. What about the rear. Do any tacoma's come with 4.88's or am I gonna have to buy a new ring and pinion. We'll in my case is have to buy a whole 3rd because I have know clue who sets them up around here. Would 4.88's be too low. I mean they really had my 22RE humming at 70mph with 33/10.50's. This 3.4 has a lot more power so I don't know if the 4.88's are needed.

So basically I'm transforming my DD T100 into a work/expedition/family vehicle. All this will be coming within this month. Along with my new custom BED and BUMPERS and SLIDERS......

 

Skip the bracket lift and get the 315s. If you can clear 35s, then why not go to a 325/75 (closer to a 35") 488s will give you lots of low end grunt with that tire size, great for creepin around.

No help on the headers.

Nice job on the rust fix. Rust sucks.

 

The 35's fit without any rub at all. That's mounted on a 7" factory 15" toyota wheel. I'm not running 15" wheels tho. According to the math a 315/75r16 measures out to be exactly 34.6/12.4r16 I figured that's pretty close to a 35" tire.

I was thinking of the bracket lift giving me better room to run a larger skinnier tire. I'd like to find something that around a 305/85 or a 315/85. The 305/85 measures 36.4/12 and the 315/85 measures 37.1/12.4. However like the 325/75 you mentioned measures 35.2/12.8. But are these common tire sizes. Can you buy these sizes?

What side is your exhaust on?

 

Passenger side. I believe it's identical to a Tacoma. The front end is just like a regular pickup but the engine is setup like a Tacoma.
