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

Got new Cooper AT3s installed, 265/75/16. Very happy with the ride so far. Planning to plasti-dip the wheels soon.

 

I don't know, those wheel studs have some rust on them.

did a mobile 1 advanced 5w 30 change rolling 145k ish

 

Josh!

2 questions.

1 is that a Powder coat setup?

2 have you seen the "Cab Mount Relocation Kit" ? http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2n...-body-mount-relocate-kit-redgoatfab-haws.html

 

I haven't washed it since Nov and I'm not kidding when I say that yesterday was the first sunny day we've had in about 2 months. Rain / ice / snow here have set records.

Anyway... pressure washer and 303 Aerospace protectant. That can you see in the background is stainless steel spray to clean the exhaust.

Let's not grease those

I take it off road and this is completely covered in mud / snow often.

Where you at? Florida? It'd probably be awright.

Yes, but the oven is only 4'X4'X4' so I had to build an extension to accommodate the AllPro bumper.

Negative, have not seen that - thanks for sharing! After grinding on the Cab Mount for 45 minutes I decided to take the plasma cutter to it, but another day. Will look into this, thanks again!

 

Yes. Yes it should. There is a 380mm (15") and a 355mm (14") from Rotora. Might be a 340mm (13.4") too. Stoptech has the 340 for sure.

Our stock tacoma are a 318.7mm (12.55") - so I would just measure to be sure. Something of note though. The Aftermarket Calipers are much lower profile than the stock. That alone will help with clearance.

Here is a great link for fitment and recommendations. Also, there is a printable template to cutout so you can measure. According to the link, 17" is the recommended minimum.

332 fitment http://www.stoptech.com/docs/default-source/wheel-fitment-templates/98-866-2450-00

I had hands on with the kit. Like StopTech, just thought that the 2 piece design was superior and the addition of another pair, 6 in total, of pistons would be better.

Form what I saw, there was only the one size kit. We have a 4 piston already on the TRD OR.

FYI to all - Here is the link to the Rotora BBK (Big Break Kit) thread. Anyone interested, or curious, thats where I'll mirror the info so it al doesn't get lost. http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/technical-chat/367418-rotora-com-bbk-big-brake-kit-ummm-gravy.html

 

One last link for you. Here is where lots of us cab mount cutters hang out.

2nd Gen 4x4 35s 3" Lift w/o BODY LIFT

 

Got it lifted with wheels and tires!

 

Lol

 

received my Hawse Fairlead and my Winch isolator today so I installed those to actually complete the Undercover HMWS winch mount... after that I sprayed the frame with rust proof so the rust that was on the frame would be killed in its track. Bad thing was while under the taco doing the frame treatment I noticed grease splattered all over the inside of the front passenger wheel and frame, I looked at the CV boot and it looked intact so Now I am worried where all that grease came from. Will try to locate tomorrow and plan on taking to shop so they can look at it. I have no idea where so much grease could come from if CV boot looks new and haven't been able to find a crack "yet".

 

Living through NY winters the underneath of my truck will never look like that

 

Should have seen it before I started. That was after 6hrs. I make it a point to spray off the salt and grime when I get home or at work.

 

i love the way your tuck sits! you not rubbing? or do you have wheel spacers too?

 

you used that 303 on the engine too? or did you steam it?

also, your hands musta been cramping like a mofo after! how can your hands fit in such tight spaces?!

 

Christ Craig!, I tried that. Had the old Gas powered Pressure washer out daily. Wife was pissed . That faded as quickly as it started.

Now, Toyota is replacing my frame.

 

No... I never put water in the engine compartment. Just a lot of hands on and 303 on a wax pad. In actuality the engine compartment wasn't too bad. The undercarriage was a different story hence the 6hrs laying under the truck.

Yeah, I try to stay on top of it as much as I can. If I get in the mud the first thing I do is spray it off when I get back.

 

New wheels and tires!
