Anyone have a friend lifting a Tacoma? :P Still have these

I feel you on that, I just got my 08 SR5 last summer, previous owner had the "undercoating" done on it (stuff that looks like oily mud sprayed on). Scraped it all off this fall, and it is only some surface rust on the welds just like yours - fluid filmed the entire frame, and in the spring will...

I assume you're talking about the grey, unpainted trim? Safe way: Cerakote trim restorer (Trim Coat), one of the better ones, holds up long time. Redneck way: Did this on my Jeep XJ, and a buddy's TJ -- EXTREMELY careful propane torch application ;) (No joke, you're essentially melting...

FS - BNIB Toytec Tacoma/Tundra rear shocks (1-3" lift) - $250USD - Ottawa, Canada ***SOLD THANKS*** I have a brand new pair of rear Toytec LKTAC20R-P rear shocks, intended for a 1-3" lift Fit 05-23 Tacoma, and 00-06 Tundra. Thought I could use them on my 4Runner, but they're valved...

I guess what always threw me off, was a Tacoma bed can get loaded up with hundreds of pounds, so I figured the shocks should be capable handling extra weight! But yea, its confirmed, they won't work - shorter and valved differently

Yea, seems you are onto something. See the update to my original post, upon my contact with Toytec. :)

**UPDATE: Toytec got back to me. No go - Taco shocks are shorter and valved differently, as suspected Hey! I have a quick technical question, please read and hear me out! I have some BNIB Toytec LKTAC20R-P shocks (*05-23 Taco, 1-3" rear shocks). I was wondering, ASIDE from the bottom eyelet...

My Pontiac Vibe determined that that is a lie hahaha. I definitely see benefit to fresh fluid at certain intervals. Appreciate the long reply, and will give this a whirl, this week!

It is on this week's to-do list, for sure! I've been meaning to get to it, have both grease types on hand, ready to go

Am I glad I stumbled upon this post today, I've noticed the occasional "clunk" in mine, usually if I am coming to a red light and have to stop faster than desired. As soon as I let off the brake, there's a "thunk", which feels driveline related. Thought maybe driveshaft, but I suspected fluid...

I am trying to hunt down some coilovers (Dobinsons, Fox, Icon, Radflo, etc) that would give me 3" of lift on my 2008 SR5. Ideally a set that won't need a rebuild, and it would be a huge bonus if these were in Canada! However, if it's a stellar deal, the exchange rate and shipping may be...

Just not a fan, I prefer doing a lift by actually altering spring dynamics and travel/resistance (I come from old Jeeps, Chevy's and such - adding leaves, larger coil springs is what I do). Some guys like them, I see them more like a body-lift, than a suspension lift. It just moves the strut...

I have a superbly specific question and I am hoping someone here has enough experience to help me! I have 2008 SR5, all stock, except for the front coils - I have a set of 2019 TRD PRO FOX coilovers installed (I massaged the lower control arm, fit without issues, if you're wondering ;) ) I...

Would adore a factory locker-equipped 4th gen. I have a 2008 SR5, 115k miles, great little rig, no rust other than the notorious tailgate (IF ANYONE has a 4th Gen Tailgate in Canada, message me haha). I think people are holding on to them, I bought mine from the original owner who was still on...

Right? We have to deal with rusty, scrapyard-quality-level parts at astronomical prices, meanwhile members are giving away low mile OEM stainless catbacks, or selling for $25. (I wanted to grab one near Toronto, but the guy wanted $500 hahah).
