So as some of you may know, I've been hoarding parts lately for upcoming projects. Well just recently I've begun a few of the smaller ones and am about to do some of the larger ones as soon as I get the last parts. Figured I'd share and ask questions now before I get to far into it and forget.
Had a buddy sell his tacoma and found his old snowflakes in storage that he had taken off for aftermarket wheels. He asked if I wanted them, I "reluctantly" said yes. Lol. Mounted them that weekend and here's the results.
Picked up a powder coated aluminum grill insert from customcargrills and an FJ40 grill emblem replacement on ebay $25 and $20. In order to do a satoshi. I read a lot about people saying the 6"x 36" wasn't large enough for our grills, but after measuring (and following through) I can say that it does work.
Got a stupid good deal on an elocker geared in 4.30 as well as some 881 front coils with 90004 nitrochargers and top spacer already assembled by toytec. The coilovers are a little dirty but having come off a 2wd weren't abused too terribly and seem to still have some life in them. Kryptoroxx is selling me his elocker housing so I can build the rear and make time on lift shorter, once I get a 4.30 front.
This is where the questions come in. I'm undecided on rear suspension. Ideally I'd like to go with some OME 890's and either 60073 or 60028 nitrochargers as I don't have any extra weight. However, I have been also considering doing the 7 wrap FZJ80 coils and shocks which would probably be easier to get/ cheaper and give about the same 3" of lift possibly a slight bit more. Correct me if I'm wrong but it's my understanding that the 890's are a bit more stiff than the 7 wraps.
My 3rd gen is my DD, and I plan to do occasional off-roading, I have read about full OME suspension and also on the tundra TRD/LC lift but haven't found anything on a mix of the two. I'm trying to keep things on the cheap as I have a newborn. But the plethora of 890 coils that was two months ago on CL has dried up and I'm getting anxious to do more work to my runner. For once I'd like to do a project BEFORE Kryptoroxx. Worst case, I spread the OME coils and shocks over a couple pay checks and just deal with the wait time. Any experience/ advice on the rear setup would be much appreciated.
