IT'S HERE!!

My SSO bumper is finally here after waiting 2 months. I will be installing it hopefully this weekend or next. I will have pics of the final product.

I do have one question, what size D-ring shackles fit, so i can get those orederd?

 

....

 

Here is what I have, it is the plain one with no light bar, but i am waiting for KC to release their roof rack when i add light bars. I am going to order some shackles once i figure out the size while i wait for a time that i am off and can install.

 

Nice, will be watching to see the final results.

 

D-ring shackles orderd and i am picking up a floor jack from a friend and try to install Friday

 

Its done!! Took me 12 hours.

Two questions:
1) where do i get a winch plate for the outside instead of the rollers?
2) what is a good way to combat the little bit of front sag and heavy steering?

 

Very Nice and looks similar to the Warn 100022 Bumper for 5th Gen.
See Link: https://www.quadratec.com/categories/winches-recovery/fairleads-rollers?kw=winch fairlead
for alternative winch fairlead’s.

 

That front bumper is one of my options as well.

If you are keeping the cable for the winch then keep the rollers as well.

If you are going to switch to Synthetic Rope then change to a Fairlead.

I prefer a Synthetic Rope with Fairlead and a winch thimble from Factor 55 instead of a hook.

 

Will a fairlead not work with the standard cable, and why do you prefer sunthetic?

 

Looks good, what mods have you done to the front suspension?

 

I havent, i want to maybe upgrade to the EMU traditinal 3” lift with medium springs hopeing that solves the sag and heavy steering

 

Thanks for all the anwsers, so i have seen there are hawyse faileads that are bilt for steel lines if i decide to stick with steel or convert, not sure there yet.

However for the added weight and heavy steering will an EMU standerd 3” lift with medium coils help solve the problem while still being good for off road?

 

I can't speak to the steering but that will definitely help with the sag you have on the front, who ever you buy the shocks from just tell they what weight you have already added to the rig so they can take that into account. I put EMU on the tacoma with soft riding struts and it rides really well. The wife T4R is still in the what she wants mode...

 

Ive heard that OME tend to be a little stiff is there other options you know that tend to be as good as the OME

 

I believe several people install 5100's and they like that fitment, it depends on the budget you willing to pay for. Seems like several people install the Eibachs (sp) found them on Toytec after reading it in several threads.

 

Ive even heard with 5100s with OME coils dont know if it works, and i like the Toytec boss setup but that is expensive. The eibachs i looked at i dont think come with a medium duty coil.

 

Ya have only done some research on that in regards to the eibachs, will do some more as this may be the way I do the runner, but would prefer to just put the OME on there.

 

So far i am leaning to the OME i messaged a youtuber with a similar set up running the OME to see what his thoughts are, and if the ride is like pre bumper.

 

Have done some research looking at Bilstine 5100s with ome medium duty coils, wounder if this would work and if this a good setup while not breaking the bank?

 

I would talk to a couple of different vendors to see what their thoughts are about it, this would give you a better understanding towards what your needs are.
