Not only that, but on trucks that have issues with axle wrap from the factory, even a 1" block runs the risk of making it worse.

I ordered the $40 mounts from First World Problems. They're a little rough (look like torch-cut bolt holes) and use Tractor Supply-ish carriage bolts for mounting, but I wasn't going to pay $100+ for mounts based on name. They work just fine and won't rotate like the RCI mounts.

Paint the bare metal on those drilled-out holes!

Essentials for us are a 6 person tent and kennel for our 90lb rottie (if my wife and I actually want to sleep!) Otherwise, we take the basics, including an old Coleman stove, an aluminum roll-up table, two ARB chairs, and, when camping out of her truck, our 80qt Cabela's cooler. We'd not been...

Had it done on my wife's '17 OR. I MIGHT notice smoother shifts in lower gears, and the truck definitely isn't shifting into 5th gear by 30 mph under light throttle. Otherwise it made no real difference. I wonder if it was less noticeable in our case because we're running 4.88s, but I would...

Truck was just over a month old when it got its suspension, wheels, tires, gears, and front air locker.

You guys wouldn't be disappointed!

@SubCultureNM But be warned: it's mostly our Jeep, our dogs, and beer. Once we actually start using the Tacoma more, more pics of it will be posted.

Thank you. It's one of seven Jeeps we've owned. Has a lot more done to it than meets the eye!

ADS right here. We have their 2.5 remote resi coilovers and shocks, with clickers, and I absolutely love them. My wife keeps them at 3 clicks front and one click rear (above full soft) for daily driving. The truck rides orders of magnitude better than stock and handles like it's on rails.

Something totally different. Went with Shrockworks bolt-on because they're here in Houston. I actually like the overall wider guard. They also work as steps for my wife, when necessary.

My DD, with our redneck toy hauler in tow.

Been a motor head as long as I've been able to drive. In our 20 years together, my wife and I have owned WAY too many vehicles (I could probably be retired now, at 44, on what we've spent on them!) Besides vehicles, we're also huge craft beer fans (also a 20 year hobby). Our two current...

Suspension, no question. Figured we'd buy once, cry once.

And, just for grins, a couple pics of our other project vehicles:
