Just wanted to say Hi. I own a 2000 excab tacoma 3.4 5speed.
Specs include:
Neilfab sliders
5in Trailmaster Lift
Alcans with 12in Bilstein shocks in the rear
ARB bumber holding a HarborFreight winch
In the next week I will be installing a lockright locker in the rear
33 Truxs MT
Low grade Cobra CB
Garmin 330 GPS
Extented rear diff breather.
Hella lights on bumber

to be cont....(money is always an issue;) )

I am new to the whole 4wd world but learning rapidly. I am a member of the FLTTORA club.
I am kinda stuck with the direction I want to take my truck. B/c this is my only veicle I must keep it as much street friendly as possible but at the same time LOVE to go wheeling. I have been considering a SAS but no sure if this is the right move with what I am looking for in my trail/street rig. If I decide not to go with the SAS what how would I improve my front susp.? Anyways here are some pic of my truck in work. Enjoy!

Welcome to the place!

Search here for info on Donahoe front coils and deaver rear leaf springs. These were the single most important impovement for my Tacoma on and off road. Since I drive as much on as off highway, and occasionally hit rock obstacles, I choose to stay with IFS on my daily driver.

Well I cant really get denvers b/c I just installed my custom Alcans. I have not really tried them out offroad but have heard that they are one of the best springs avaliable for tacomas...Hell they better be for the 500bucks I just spent.
Now the next question is: am I able to use Donahoe with the lift that I already have? The lift was already on the truck when I bought it. I would love to keep the IFS but want the best quality for offroad as well. Thanks for the comments and keep them coming.

Welcome to ExPo amigo!

I'm not sure the Donahoes would work with the drop bracket from your five inch lift, but a quick contact to Donahoe would confirm that.
welcome to the site.

I just looked at there site and it stats that their product stands alone and can not work with any other company lift components. Are there ways to improve my suspension with the drop bracket lift kit that is already one the truck.
Man I wish I just bought a stock truck and started from there. I am not complaining about my truck just some things I would do different.
I just have to work with what was handed to me! Still love the truck!
