Who's making the three inch lift for the new taco? Is it just spacers? Also I'm sure everyone will be asking whats the biggest tire you can fit without a lift so I'll be the first.

Donahoe's kit should be out before the end of the year.
upgrade tires to 285/75s (33x11.50)

i took our 05 out to the desert on sun. It did great off road!!!

its running 305/70R17 (34") on 17x8 W/4.75" back space. we custom machined the wheels to make them fit as tight as posible.

when you get it crossed up off road the 305 is a little to large. we were runing those tires for the SEMA show but will go back down to a 285. these new trucks are very wheel size and backspace sensitive, if you have to much offset you get into big rubbing issues

there are some pictures of it here:

the coil overs for these trucks will be ready to ship after christmas

hey Dylan, what's the scoop on all that footage shot for Tough Truckin on your '05 with you and Jason? When will it air?

I think its gona be on in acouple of weeks. they are replaying the first 6 episodes and then our 05 build up will be #7

cool,

it kinda drove us all nuts when they ran that tag for the build 'coming up next week' and then they started the reruns.

Speaking of mods to '05, anyone bash that low hanging exhaust (where it crosses over, behind the transfer case) yet??

after seeing that on the pre-production truck at Takeover I still can't believe Toyota didn't fix that. sheesh.
