my old daily driver the yota replaced the new yota ive had on the raod for a month now this is my wifes car i plan to plasti dip the wheels and put on some 33s just did a leveling kit on it.
Welcome! Your red truck did indeed benefit from being previously owned by the original owner. Other same year trucks I've seen have oxidized paint. What are you plans for it? I like it "as is." Your after market wheels really gives it a good look and still functions as a truck. Anyways, have fun hanging out with us. There are a good bunch of people on this site! Rick
I plan to just lower the back a inch or so and get the windows tinted is about it I drive it 50+ miles a day 5 days a week plus around town on the weekends and do haul and pull a little with it so it won't be slammed on the ground or now!!
That's cool! Your truck is still functional for your needs. I'm still able to load up the back of my truck and go camping in the Santa Cruz mountains.
Na it's a lb7 03 lbz wasn't till late 06 model. It's been a good truck got over 260k miles in it with not a single major issue was my daily driver for the past 2 years I've owned it for 4. Thanks for the welcome
little update fellas ive been drivin the little red yota everywhere... put almost 5000 miles on it so far with no problems... this was my first car engine i rebuilt did alot of 4 wheelers and dirt bikes and restored old tractors... i'm starting to trust it a little more!!! i'm going to lower it soon and get the windows tinted but i'm happy happy happy havn't even wanted to drive the duramax since i got it goin!! gonna put the 8" stack back in it and cruise down to the beach next weekend!!
bump ttt any advice or pointers I think i'm gonna adjust the valves this weekend and try to get rid of some of the ticking noises
Yea the 22r&e love them some valve tick . If your looking for pointers on lowering it ..the common 2 drop spindle with the ball joint flip mod is pretty common nets you about 3 inches up front retaining a fairly good ride out back a 2 or 3 inch block is a good starting point . Combined with a good set of shocks all around .... If you use the truck for truck duty it will still be able to carry a decent amount of stuff And we'll if the duramax does the haulin .. Then you can get real low using multiple combinations of suspension parts .
I'm going to be doin this in a budget I have the hook up at a carquest on parts so I'm gonna get a new set of shocks and I was planning in just loosening up the torsion bars can I just do a ball joint flip with stock spindles? And is 2 in blocks e nought in the back or should I go with 3 I will use it a little but ill never haul more than a couple hundred lbs in the bed or pull a trailer with to much tongue weight
Yea you can flip the ball joints and loosen the bars up a bit ..won't cost a thing Out back I prefer 3 inch blocks . 2 is noticeable but you always look back and go I shoulda bought 3 inch
Alright thanks man.... You must be the one of the junky guys on here that are very active... Are there any other yota pickup forums?
Haha don't tell my work that ..I have a very lax job ..if I'm staring at a computer screen ...it looks like I'm working lol There are some other forums ..Tacoma forums 4x4 of all generations forums ....this sight is more catering to none Tacoma ..and lowered or performance based pickups And overall covers most of the bases
