    Grille What's it worth?

    I sold my 2020 Limited Tacoma a few years ago, just found my factory grille in great shape in a box. I'm wondering what they're going for price wise? All the clips are in tack, the only broken spots are the two wire zip tie pieces that were cut to allow the TSS to be unplugged

  72. H

    Bilstein 5100s with 285/70/17

    OEM Coils? Hmmm... I'd recommend if you're going to do a lift at all at least OME coils (I'm going to do the 888's likely).

  75. H

    Suspension and Tires

    According to Headstrong Offroad, this is what the 888 coils are worth for lift, realistically anything over 2.5" and you're going ot want to consider UCA from what I've read. The only thing I'm unsure about is what exactly you can fit for a tire without cutting / rubbing issues.
  76. H

    Suspension and Tires

    Hey bud, I actually had a great conversation about this same topic with Marie over at Headstrong Offroad. 5100's will give you 2.5" of lift depending on your coil selection, I will be going with the 888's. As far as the rear, you can run blocks but if you plan on adding any moderate amount of...

    Suspension Under $800

    So I did some chatting with Marie today, it was determined that I could get away with the 5100, 888 Coils and the Maxtrac 1.5" Lift Block & U-Bolt Kit which would get me out the door $742.99.
  78. H

    Suspension Under $800

    I reached out to Marie over at Headstrong, we're discussing my options for their 5100 kit w/ a AAL, the 3 HS ALL would bring me to $837.99 but I'm not sure about if I need that or just the Deaver single - I'll keep y'all posted!
  79. H

    Suspension Under $800

    I guess my question is, since I see a bunch of people post this elusive 5100's - what exactly is that kit? PS. Are you selling yours? :) Are they in decent condition?

    Suspension Under $800

    Lets talk cheap... now before y'all go bashing me hear my logic. I see so many people go out dropping $3,000 - $5,000 on suspension builds but they never seem to actually scratch the surface as to what these big money kits can do or are even made for. With that being said, I'm looking to see...

    That looks like what I have from @N2DesignsInc remote start, it appears to be a cellular module for a remote start. Do you have one installed?
