Leveling my 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma the Proper Way 

Crazy how I went from watching your videos to learn about STI's before I got my own. Now im watching you mod a near identical Tacoma to mine.

As someone who plans on buying my neighbors 1st gen '01 tacoma, this video has my full attention

Yes I was waiting for taco Tuesday.

I like the new Stinger Radio. If you do wind up towing with it and your worried about the squat, you can always go with Firestone Helper Spring Kit for the Tacoma. I love seeing the progress on this project.

TACO TUESDAY!!! Thankfully Tanner didn’t make a squatted truck! 😂

I have been eagerly anticipating Taco Tuesday...

This is the exact kit I’m looking at for my Taco. Hell yeah man loving Taco Tuesday content

Hell yeah! Can't wait to see the new wheels and tires. That will make such a huge difference!

Just a little poke... exactly what we wanted😮 looks good, brother. Wooooooo!!!!!!

Rear disk break upgrade would be dope

Never knew that taco Tuesday was tacoma mod day too.... I bought the wrong truck😂😂 Great video Tanner , love you're work👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽!

Most call those bolts excentric. Though I believe they are concentric as well, sharing the same centerline. Add a set of helper bags if you want to eliminate squat. You can even set those up manual, using an air chuck, if you want to save money. Also, I'd leave the drum rears, personally. Your rear brakes only provide 15% of total braking anyways and the drums make a very good park brake as long as everything is set up correctly.

Crazy to see the amount of rust already. Should definitely do some type of undercoating like fluid film or an oil coating depending on your laws

Ive installed fox 3.0 with external resevoirs and let me tell you, its the best thing youll ever feel. Like a cadillac but off road. And street feels plush

Tanner! You should looking into buying a bucket of fluid film and applying it all to your frame, bolts, inside of your frame, body panels, rocker panels, blah blah blah. It will keep that thing preserved!

Love this new content as I will be taking notes on what you do with your taco. I want to soon do some mods on mine as well. Glad you weren’t the type that immediately wanted a lift kit killing their MPG and stressing Luther chasis more. 5100’s and bigger tires will do the trick. Still deciding whether 265/75/16 or 265/70/17

Nice man! I have the Westcott Designs for my '19 Tacoma Pro but never installed it. Just loved the OEM Fox Suspension. Wonder how the Westcott Designs would have looked on yours. Taco Tuesday is a must on this channel. Thanks dude!

I’m sold on those Bilstein 5100’s Tanner vs a leveling kit.

5100’s are the holy bible of easy mod to stay with instead of investing into lift kits and all that good stuff. This is definitely my plan these shocks with a bit bigger tires and I’m set. Stock Toyota’s are off road capable

I did the Bilstien 6112 kit on my wife's 19 4runner and we love it so far. They are even beefier than the 5100 over stock. Then mounted some 285-70--17's falken AT3's on Methods. Black on black on black baby haha

Every tacoma vid makes me want one more and more lol still paying off the subi though

SWEEEET! loving the taco content!!! RANDOM UPDATE: first harness is being built for the fb rx7.

I liked the video. 🎉

An extra inch and more girth! 😂

looking forward to see what the wheels and tire look like on there I wanted to level mine with this kit, and throw on 265 75 16 with 1” spacer on stock wheels and was hoping this would help it not rub

Can’t go wrong with Bilstein

I did a deaver add-a-leaf in the rear, with a Westcott Designs spring collar perch + 0.5" spacer. I think it cost me $400 in parts and I did the labor myself. 1.5" in the rear and 2.5" in the front. Sits fairly level with a bit of rake, which I prefer since I use the bed quite a bit.

If you go with the wheel and tire setup you want you will need to chop the cab and cut your liner. I would recommend a good aftermarket UCA and offroad alignment. I have a 2022 TRD OR with 17 inch -10 offset. What fixed the rub is cab mount chop, C4 high clearance fender liner, some minor tweaking of the pinch weld and accutune uca with alignment. Offroad with this setup, though, is perfect. It went over everything. I worry if you stressed it, though with the 285s it would probably snap axles. I also run a C4 hybrid front bumper and the Westcott lift. The poke and look is perfect. To be honest, though, I am probably gonna go down to a 265 in the future. The 285s are amazing looking but the drivability on the stock trans is horrendous as soon as you put the truck under any load including hills. Even with an OTT tune it wasnt that much better. I put 5.29 gears and the drive is better but the problem is the load range of the tires. Your unsprung mass shoots up like double with most 285s (45 lbs stock to like 80 lbs). It makes the truck look amazing but your MPGs will go from bad to worse. The throttle response is atrocious (never used a pedal commander). I think an ideal setup for drivability is 265s with 4.88 (more ideal) or 5.29 with a tune. I plan on running 265s for street use and then 35 inch tires for offroad since the truck is ready for them, just won't be able to run a wheel with negative offset unless I relocated the cab mount further back and absolutely smashed the pinch welds. Nice to see the taco though!

Iv always wanted a trd taco but this damn wrx is a money pit. One day Ill have my damn truck.

so no one is gonna talk about how he casually talked about buying a type R !?!?!?!?!?

They make a little add a leaf for the rear that makes a world of difference

Truck stuff. 🤤

What is your music source for your videos, thanks love the channel

This makes me want a Taco so bad. Meanwhile I'm driving around a Ford Fing Ranger. 😂😂

Yo tanner! Had to go visit the bro Remmy in spokane man. When you going to make a event so we can all come say whatsup to you and see the builds in person bro?

It's odd that it's so new but still has drum brakes in the rear. But looks good

So where did the big washer go?!

6112 Bilstein a bit nicer yet more expensive. 5100s are like the analogy of cutting three trees that are threatening your house instead of cutting all five of them down might as well just go for the 6112s instead of copping out for the 5100s. It’s not bad but you’re just gonna wanna do it perfectly correct when you’re doing it! Love your channel just my opinion! Where did you get yours from? I’m looking at shock surplus right now? Love the channel hopefully there’s no offense taken in my opinion.

May have been if you tightened control arms at droop/ on lift. Should be tightened at ride height

Tac Tuesday

At what point do you have to replace the uca's, 2 or 3 inch lift?

Yo. 1 inch makes a huge difference lol. Or at least that what she said

Correct me if I’m wrong but on every Toyota I’ve worked on (being a Toyota tech) are there not 2 nuts and a bolt you can take off to separate the LCA and ball joint on the front? It’s much easier and faster in my opinion but everyone works differently

I’m waiting for the super charger 😅

What happened to your rear bumper ?

DAMN DUDE, how do I get you to work on my car?

Those 5100's wont be on there long. Its like lowering spring on cars. Next week itll be on coilovers. I recommend fox's from accutune. I started with 5100's on my first tacoma. Dirt king long travel on me second truck

I must be an idiot or something because I've never worried about compressing springs as long as i am careful about not getting my fingers caught. Just ugga dugga the compressors kinda straight and send it. I realize suspension springs are dangerous. I've seen the videos. But with spring compressors? Easy.

Mazda Monday Taco Tuesday Subie Sunday??

😎👍🏻👍🏻

Put it on 35s you know you want to

I'm sorry, did you say Type-R? 👀

Replace that leaking steering gear. I’ll dm you the trade secret to get it done in 3 hrs.

First! 🎉😊 Another scammera

Bad Endlink. PART OUT.
