Toyota Tacoma

Yet, you still have the same suspension travel, your bumpers and frame are still lower so departure and approach angles barely change even with the bigger tires. A moderate suspension lift is the only way to go. You accomplish the space for larger tires, increased suspension travel, increasing ground clearance, and improving approach and departure angles.

Uhh huh.

What you said was it was completely useless: I pointed out that it did accomplish something useful. Now you're arguing that there are better ways. But of course there are.

[SVT666]

Well, it will give you a couple more inches...

No it won't.  A body lift only lifts the body.  Nothing else.  The engine stays in the same spot in relation to the frame.

It's a dumb way to accomplish that one thing it will accomplish.

[SVT666]

It's not a body lift.  It's a rear block/front spacer lift.

Took it to the place I get my tires and alignment type stuff done. They said they could take it off but both the guys working were baffled that I'd want to. hah

I'm baffled by it too.  Personally, I think the moderate increase in height looks rather good.

Tires. Remember?

its also a fraction of a price of a decent (read roadworthy) suspension lift. If all one needs is a little extra clearance, and if it accomplishes that, then all is good. I see no reason to over spend on something if its not needed or wanted.

Remember errbody, Mixmaster Mike said a block lift would put undue lateral stress on the shocks or some shit.

I'm right and you're wrong.  So there!

Sure.

I'm starting to agree.

Naw, it need to be dragging the frame. Airbags all around.

[giant_mtb]

It already has airbags.

[AutobahnSHO]

It already has airbags.

LOL not in the dash silly

Which makes me wonder if they're Takatas and the salvage title may cancel the recall.

[giant_mtb]

I know.

True dat. Idiots with shitty lifts on stock shocks = big side load = bending piston rod = bad seal = leaky shocks.

He's not running stock shocks it doesn't sound like.

Too clean. Need mud. And sand dunes.

[giant_mtb]

Mud is boring.  There are mud holes you get through and ones you don't.  There are many more unique rocks and hills and obstacles to traverse.

Need winch

[giant_mtb]

[Rupert]

That's a low winch...

[giant_mtb]

Which winch was a low winch whitch winched witches?

[Soup DeVille]

That's a low winch...

It's removable. It's on a hitch receiver.

I did this today, and it actually solved the problem.  Or at least helped significantly.  The annoying tapping sound is gone.

[giant_mtb]

Well shit. That audio connector box isn't expected to be here til July 17th.  Yay China

[Secret Chimp]

You finna go flying through the windshield like GTAV or something

Oh, cool. Stick it on the back, too! Which makes more sense, because why would you want to pull yourself out so you can turn around and get stuck again?
