93 SR5 lifted w/32's

[Username]

Well I purchased this 93 SR5 V6 4wd last month and after a couple weeks of researching through this and a couple other forums I have already lifted, added wheels and upgraded the audio on her.

List of Mods:
-Downey 26mm torsion bars (cranked to 15")
-Downey 1.5" hevy duty rear coils
-Doeschtech (sp?) Shocks
-American Racing 15X8 Mojave
-BFGoodrich A/T 32X11.5

Already replaced Steering rod under Toyota recal and fixed crack in windshield. I've been pretty busy with her since I bought it. There's much more I will be doing but progress will slow a little for the next month. I am new to the lifted off road thing, my last truck was a 2000 Tacoma lowered and supercharged, I drag raced it. So, this has been a whole new learning process and I am excited to keep learning and playing!:driving:

Your t4r looks awesome, that is exactly what I want to do to mine. Do you know how much lift you added and well how much cash did you drop roughly minus the wheels and tires.

Thanks! The suspension lifted it about 1.5" plus the tires added another 1.5"ish. I still want to do a 1" body lift and I should be satisfied, I doubt that though, it never ends.

I was able to get a good deal through the shop I used to work at www.group5motorsport.com , they mostly do autocross and drag racing though. I don't want to post my price because it was pretty much cost, but I believe the front and rear springs are $495 retail (includes all hardware) and shocks are $300ish retail. I haven't had the chance to wheel it yet, but the ride is very smooth even with those thick Torsion bars. I still want to do ball joint spacer and un crank the bars a little for more travel. But I'll try my current set up on some wheelin first to see how it is.

The audio was around $1400 and I love how it sounds! Custom security brackets are on the way for the sub.

So,what did the Tacoma do in the 1/4?

It was a 2.4L I did 14.6 but averaged 14.8, it was all CARB legal cause I lived in San Diego at the time. I miss it sometimes, so much quicker than the 3.slow...

Damn,pretty impressive for the 4 banger. There's a guy who runs a SC'd Tacoma V6 that runs high 13s and there's another whacko that runs high 12s with a 3rd gen 4Runner SC'd and using a shot of nitrous.

I recently ran my Runner at the strip up here at 5800ft asl and hit a whopping 19.0@73mph which is a far cry from my '93 DSM that ran vewry low 13s up here and mid 12s at sea level and I sometimes REALLY miss it.

Yeah I met a guy with a lifted Taco on 33 x 12.5's who ran high 12's, and a lifted 3rd gen with 33's who was running mid 13's in LA. I was so shocked when I saw them. They both had 13 psi pulleys with nitrous, amazingly fast for big trucks!

I am really shooting to do the 1UZ swap in 2008 when I go on a 6 month deployment, won't be nearly as fast as I'm used to but will be much better than now.
