Your R/C lift , very nice. Vertex adjustable shocks, the way to go. The more I read about the Vertex shocks the more appealing it gets.

Tesla can use a certain tire, $285 ea. , Michelin tires is use often for the Tesla cars. NO spare on any Tesla cars. Also Tesla recommend to change all the tires every three years , regardless of mileage. Tacoma electric trucks , the future is near. It might be the right thing to do. If...

Good point. The first gas power car (patent) 1886 by Benz. Cars driven by gas is over a hundred years now. As we move to electric power cars a new set of problems will rise. I just learn tires for electric cars are built differently, has more rolling resistance, and maybe $1,000+ for...

Please be aware, not all synthetic oils are the same. There are 3 grades of synthetic oils. The way I describe them is by the length to replace the synthetic oils. For instance Mobil synthetic oils, if it says replace every 7,500 miles , this is a grade 3, If replace every 15,000 miles this...

Every fuel changes will create a new set of problems? Will we be better off with all electric vehicles? Maybe less carbon , but what about the material that is being mine, how do we dispose all those batteries? Who and what will we need to power those electric plants ? Nuclear energy? And...

Heard maybe 34 version of the 2023 will be offer?

I heard it will look more like a Tundra?

For the mid range Ironman is a complete lift. I went with the Bilstein 6112 front , 5160 rear with the icon add-a-lift . a front diff drop kit, sway bar re-location kit, and a rear drive shaft drop kit. SPC upper control arms. Duro bump stops front and rear. 275/70/17

LB too , I found most trails , a stock truck works just fine, where I go, 5-10% of the road ways , better to have a lift and more aggressive tires. because of my long bed , I added this trailer hitch skid plate from Supreme Suspension. Worth it. To protect the bumper.

At least once a month , use the crawl controls, rear locker -under 5 miles per hour, engage the 4-H and 4L. Every month. And the anti-slip button too. Find a dirt or sandy , or gravel road. If not “grass” land. Or one day it may not engage. As they say use-it or lose-it.

Nice looking, very well done!

Don’t lift it or add bigger tires. If only two wheel drive. If you want a Pre-runner type truck? Make sure you get a locking diff?

I hear the 2015 Tacoma is a very good year. If you are going to buy a 2021 which is very highly rated. Please consider a Tacoma with the “Crawl control”. I think think the TRD Off road and PRO? or make sure you get a Tacoma with the Locking diff.

I suggest the ARB air breather, I located mines in the driver side taillight housing. High flow, zero back pressure, zero vacuum ,filter. Worth the price. This is a one time purchase, get the best. Why? My stock air breather fail, I live on a dirt coffee farm, when it rains the roads has...

Most Tacoma 2-2.5 lifts a aftermarket UCA , May not be needed. But does help. For yours I suggest looking in the SPC upper control arms $700.00 and under. Finding a shop that knows how to install and dial the SPC upper control arms you may need to do your homework. Our local tire shop sells the...
