1st gen tacoma review (9 inches of lift with 35s)

[@hondaloyal8570]

Good looking truck man I like it. Gonna do something like that to mine as soon as I buy another truck because I daily it right now it’s bone stock and already gets bad gas mileage. Prolly won’t lift it as much and prolly do a solid axle in the front and do some crawling with it. Just got done putting a new frame under it it’s a 2000 model 3.4 4wd 5 speed. It’s the trd off road model as well I love it wouldn’t get rid of it for anything

[@copperhead3505]

i dont blame ya keep it forever

[@yotagang3705]

What gears do you have on it? heard you say it was a 2.7 auto. Mpg?

[@copperhead3505]

@@yotagang3705 I'm unsure the gr off hand ik there factory and unsure the mpg I just be driving plus since the speedometer is off its not very precise

[@yotagang3705]

@@copperhead3505 probbly 4.10, 4.30 or 4.56. Damn that thing must be slow asf lol must struggle on the hwy. I think if I go this route id regear to 5.29 and supercharge it aswell.

[@copperhead3505]

@yotagang3705 yea it struggles but I don't go fast in it anways jus stay in town

[@copperhead3505]

@yotagang3705 and now that i mention it I've heard 456 before think that's what's in it

How much front suspension travel do you get? It seems like the bump stop gap is very small

[@copperhead3505]

not very much tbh but updated the video and i put a 2½ level and it helped abunch

[@Termit571]

I just put this same 6 inch rough country kit on mine and it was riding the bump stops too. I called rough country and they told me it was supposed to be like that but there is no way because I had absolutely no upward travel. I bought a 3 inch strut spacer and put it on and it fixed it

[@remingtonhaley3276]

How you fixed the back bumper because I put the 3 inch body lift on it and it’s got a big gap

[@copperhead3505]

you gotta unbolt it and flip the braket upside down and drill new holes we did mine to high and the tailgate sits on the bumper now

[@lanecoleman5129]

Did you make the body lift or buy it

[@copperhead3505]

bought

[@diegoortega3584]

did your hesitate when cutting the crossmember ?

[@copperhead3505]

got a shop to do it but yes when i was reading it i took into consideration that i can't unlift my truck if i put it on but 2 years later ive never wanted the lift out so no problem with cutting it

[@yotagang3705]

how much?

[@travismcneil272]

Go with a better looming offset and you can run 38s. And stay away from cust offsets

[@copperhead3505]

my motor can barely turn 35s

[@Budgell2011]

What size light bar is that in the bumper? 32? Looking to do the same with mine.

[@copperhead3505]

yep 32 inch

[@BodieBrammer]

How much did the shop charge you to install?

[@copperhead3505]

i think it was like 650 and i did the body lift

[@megalapega365]

What size read shoks do you have ?

[@copperhead3505]

stock rc shocks

[@copperhead3505]

rc lift shocks*

[@josjidk2718]

How much was the lift

[@copperhead3505]

in that video it was about 1k

[@josjidk2718]

@@copperhead3505 thanks I’m a freshman and I just recently got this truck as my first and I hope to upgrade it for looks and functionality and because my money has to go somewhere right now 😀

[@copperhead3505]

yea np and for another 50 bucks or so you can also put a 2½ inch level in it if you tryna go to 12 but if yours is 2wd you can put 2nd gen tacoma lift struts with the rc for round 15 inchs

[@adamheffelfinger7693]

@@copperhead3505i’m guessing for 4wds the 2nd gen tacoma struts still will work or will it mess up the angles on the cv’s?

[@copperhead3505]

@adamheffelfinger7693 from my understanding you can't run 4wd with the 2nd gen struts and some.high caster uppers will be recommended
