I've been wanting to do this to my '99 and wasn't sure until I saw this. Thanks for the info and the hands-on approach to the video. I think I'm going to do this mod and try to install higher performance brakes at the same time. Good video bro!

Thanks for the video brotha! This is probably the only video that shows it all thanks! I just got my kit last week and cant wait to install it!!

Im glad to know that these would fit on my 96 singlecab tacoma ..definitely next project on the ol reliable

convinced me to go with this kit, ill be returning when i install it, thanks so much 🙏

Thanks for the video I have a 98 extended cab tacoma been wanting to do a drop and I'm definitely going to start looking for this djm lowering kit for my tacoma

It’s almost 2am, came across this video and damn! Had to stay up and watch it cause I was excited that it was over 30min vid! Def brought back memories when I worked on mines😆 actually took 4 days for me to do this job on my 03 tacoma. I did this during the winter cold almost a year ago and I live in an apartment complex with no garage… wouldn’t get home from work till 330pm and I’d have an hour and a half to work on my truck till sun went down. Man it was brutal! Had to make sure I put all my tools away and truck back on the ground so nothing got stolen! Also with that factory shaft I ended up using a two arm pulley to get that f*cking thing out. Got a nice ball joint removal set from harbor freight for a good deal that came in handy. All about having the right tools to getting the job done right! Bunch of banging and torching later…. But you’re right man the rear was such a breeze. Wish the front could’ve been like that🤣 great video tho. You’re a gotdam beast💪🏾

That light bar on the front is sick as well!

That pickup looks hella nice, I have one, 2011. And I’ve been trying to get the truck a good look. I went with off-road look because that’s the style I wanted, but since it’s a 5lug taco I don’t have much options out there to fix it up like a 4x4 like the 6lug tacos. When I found out that you can drop em, I was intrigued. I do like the low riders.just cruising it. And I like cruising it on my truck. I’m really excited to get this kit. These are meant to be dropped not lifted.

Well done , very informative !! Trucks looks great too !!

Nice work, looks sick!

I just recently bought a 1999 tacoma and I'm definitely considering on lowering it. Great vid btw!!

Finally appreciate this vid brotha 🤙🏽

Nice looking I love it

good thing you got that drill press.

Great job!

Thank you for the video you're right there's no videos explaining this kit. By the way rims are badass but what offset are they

Good job bro! Truck looks good any new updates?

Rim and tire sizes? Perfect vid bro

Great video Bro!! by the way.

Si quema chuuuu 🤙🏼 Officially a tacuatche !

Video helped out a lot🤍🤍🤍

Dope video bro! Drop a link to the kit, ya quiero andar trokeando

Awesome 👏🏼 again

Quick question bro, did you just drill the traction bar? What about the bracket that goes on top of it? The one that holds the break line in place

awesome. you have a subscriber .

Thank you

How much did the kit and struts cost Im trying to drop my 97 this spring

How are the ball joints holding with them being changed from their original position? I want to lower mine with this kit but the safety and longevity of the lower ball joints worries me

Could original bushings be used in those new JDM control arms? Personally, in other vehicles I have worked with those rubber bushings and they do not have enough useful life and even more so in a component that is in constant vibration and direction control

Nice pickup 👍👍👍

brother where do you place the jack in order to lift the front?

Hey I’m getting this kit soon from dim wedsite and are you sure I don’t have to cut anything and also my shocks are bad and I wanna replace it .does it have to be lowering shock or can it’s be any shock?

I saw you wheels are 17x8 and 17x9 what is the offset of these?

I ran the same kit on my 00 Tacoma bout 2-3 years ago. My only complaint was how stiff the ride was from the shocks

Still doing good. Only thing I been thinking of doing is c notching the rear frame. It does bottom out sometimes but not bad

Because of this video, I decided to do this project myself. 04 Tacoma. My question is. I still have my stock wheels on it and I am rubbing on the top on the plastic liner. ( when I hit bumps) did you remove yours. I’m still deciding to go 17” or 18”.

Where did you get that grill from ?

is the 97 front bumper almost flush with the grille stock? I have a 98 and the front bumper sticks out about 5" from the grille and I think the flush look your truck has is so much cleaner looking so I'm wondering if its a mod you did or does it come like that stock?
