Crawl control is your right foot + 4Lo to be honest.
What I don't understand is why Toyota only offer a rear locker and not a option to completely lock up both.
CVs are pretty fragile tbh front locker is an easy way to break stuffWhat I don't understand is why Toyota only offer a rear locker and not a option to completely lock up both.
This will be one more thing Toyota droped the ball on, planning on using my twin ARB compressor with a solenoid to fix š«©
You know what, I appreciate this comment !
I'm not entirely sure who crawl control is for. I think there's a little bit of skill involved in not spinning tires up tricky climbs, and that's ok.You know what, I appreciate this comment !
I was just regurgitating stuff I read if I'm being honest
Never had that stuff on my older trucks. We had crawl control on my wife's last jeep and never used it either.
LOW TRIM GANG!
When you get your portals installed, Iād love to see the results!Yes, the more weight you add the worse it gets.
Honestly, the money I threw away on the so called, overrated TRD OR, suspension package, and gadgets, I would have been better off buying a SR5, and build it like I have done. The money I would have saved on the sale, I would have enough moneyto literally buy the Portals I am saving for now.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT. Hindsight is always a hard pill to swallow.
I would love it if they came out with a trail edition 4g. I almost bought a 3g trail edition with the locker. I still think about that truck. Has everything you want and nothing you donāt. I would love to have the upgraded tire and suspension of the trail edition and the locker on my 4g. Although the torque in 4low with this new drive train and the traction control, almost negates the need for a locker. Iāve seen slip tests done by TFL where they put the 4g Tacoma on rollers to simulate a scenario where you would need a locker and the traction control just works its magic and makes it happen almost instantly. Pretty impressive.
Agreed
It's a dream a little dream for now. This is my dream built, and retired at 56 I plan to built her right. I honestly thought I would have it completed in the first year, yet availability of modifications proved to be my nemesis. I, my wife bought the rig for me, to be a daily driver., butt she knows now this is going to be a very expensive toy that I am building to take, wheeling and camping.
It's a dream a little dream for now, when I get to that point, i pray by the end of the year, this truck won't be my daily driver anymore.
I've seen some cool SR5s with stock wheels up to 285/70R18 (check out the wheel/tire builds section). I think the OEM SR5 wheels look really cool with an aggressive 285. But 275/70R17 is probably the sweet spot on stock suspension in my opinion.
Our SR5 suspension is the same height as the Off Roads, but just not as good as the OR OEM Bilsteins. The only reason they have the 1" of "lift" is their tires.
You can get some cheap or free Off Road take off suspension on the member marketplace though. Someone in my neck of the woods is selling his for $350.
I got bilstein 5100s to upgrade the SR5 shocks and to level the truck. Leaps and bounds better IMO and not expensive.
Here are a couple photos as I progressed just for reference:
1. TRD takeoffs with the crappy 265/70R18 OEM tires to on stock suspension
2. Trailhunter wheels with 285/75R18 on stock suspension
3. And now Trailhunter wheels with 265/70R18
What made you decide to go with the Trailhunter 18ā wheel and a 265/70, instead of the SR5 stock 17ā wheel with 275/70?I've seen some cool SR5s with stock wheels up to 285/70R18 (check out the wheel/tire builds section).

I just like the trailhunter wheels. Look at them! Dope AF. And ended up being 1/2 the cost of bronze methods.
I do too. What did you wind up paying for the set of wheels? Did you get five, one for the spare? Does it fit where the spare goes? Whatās a good price to pay for the wheels?
I thought about the 255/75 & 80, but all those tires that I looked at were either C or E rated heavy duty truck tires and Iām worried how that would effect my ride quality, daily driving. And then are they significantly weightier than a normal tire? Do you know anyone whoās done this to their Tacoma? I wonder if you would still have full articulation of your suspension?
