What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

great cheap mod, lots of uses.

 

20M Hamstick on passenger side, 4' Firestick CB on Drivers side

 

Finally got around to taking off all the chrome emblems. Now she's a Pro

 

ouch! thats gonna leave a mark

 

what kind of exhaust do you have, I love the rumble of it... reminds me of my silverado, that is the low rumble I wish I had on my 09 DCSB, I miss having an exhaust that fits the 4.0, the engine sounds good, just would sound better with a good exhaust.

 

Damn that exhaust sounds great.

 

Nice video!!! Betcha the guy in the white Tacoma behind you on the free way had a S/C like yours.

 

Yessir!

 

I honestly did not intend for this to happen, but the Stormtrooper now has a Stromtrooper to play with. I am sure this is mental and requires some sort of therapy.

 

Played in the dirt and mountains this past weekend...

 

Headstrong Off-road Bilstein kit. Billies at .85, OME 884 coils, 1.5-2" AAL:

 

Billies at .85 with 884s? How much lift? Why would you preload those and not get 885s or 887s?

 

Finished installing heated seats in my base AC. Installed the heater elements yesterday and did all the wiring today. About 4-5 hours of work total, but super happy with the result. And found a great price for the heater kits on ebay. Was a little torn on where to put the switches, but pretty happy with the location I chose because I thought the dogs would step on them if I put them near the cup holders in the center console. Would definitely recommend this mod if you don't already have them.

 

Have some of these 15" Rotora Rotors and 6 Piston Calipers coming in! Only I can 'STOP' me now! lol

380mm of stopping power. Going DOT 4 too.

 

Nice!

 

I went with 884 over the Eibachs, 885s, etc., because they're a little less firm. I'm not putting heavy stuff on my front bumper and I have a wife, a toddler and (soon) a newborn baby who need a comfy ride. This truck is only off road when I'm on the farm (10-15% of time). I went with .85 because there's a notch on there that let me. I was looking for a minor lift (2.5"+/-) & level. Headstrong provided exactly what I needed at the right price. Between speaking with Marie at Headstrong and the guys at the local lift shop, .85 was agreed upon. They will settle a bit over time but here's the measurements from today:

Stock: Fronts: 20” Rears: 21.5”
With Lift: Fronts: 23” Rears: 23.5”

 

Justus! You need these brakes now that I have coming in!

 

Beef!

 

Cool. I haven't seen many brake upgrades here which is surprising considering all the extra weight guys weld to their trucks. Tell us more when you get them installed!

 

Got to. I treat my truck like I treat the kids. "When I say 'STOP', I mean "STOP"!!!"
