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

Installed my RCI Metalworks A-Arm skids

 

Pulled the trigger on a set of CBI ditch light brackets since they were on sale.

 

Lol, MacArthur Park. Ain't the best neighborhood in the area that's for sure.

 

Yall are ruining it for the rest of us dcsb guys that don't want to help people move!

 

To finally answer you, height is now 23.5 ish, i do have a topper. Rides better than stock and feels the same as before i removed it.

 

Current progress

 

Lookin good! RCI seems to be getting more and more popular for the skids. I might be headed that route

 

Very nice first post. Like that bumper

 

Thanks. CBI makes some quality stuff

 

F150 style LED cargo bed light mod. Got them installed yesterday. Yes they do light up the whole cargo bed. Something different from everyone else.

Passenger side.



Driver side w/switch.



Light output. Yes I know you can get a better light out put, and it's cheaper with led strips. But I ain't a fan of it. I ain't looking to lighting up a whole neighborhood.

 

Agreed! My wife just bought me these:

Body Armor 4x4 TC-4121 - Black - Steel Large RockStep Side Rail for 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma Crew Cab (Pair)

Not the best sliders, but definitely will help those dings and give the kids a step to get in without impacting clearance. Should be here today!

 

Where do they draw power from?

 

Not sliders at all..I don't think they attach to the frame either, can't recall

 

Correct. They just bold directly to the rockers. Probably should be called sapling or tall grass sliders. but hey, they're functional and look good, IMO.

 

From the Ford heated tailgate mod...

 

I went in one hole particular that was prolly close to 3/4 1/2 covering my wheel deep. I was extremely surprised on how well the taco did compared to my friends who have lifted jeeps on 33's. my one friend in particular went in and got stuck in the middle so he had to back out. i later walked right through the hole with a trac and didnt even have to engage the locker. so you can imagine after doing that well that i was extremly suprised when the steering issues came

 

Actually right after i went to car wash and pressure washed body and under carriage. wouldnt expect steering issues

 

Expect the unexpected.... But. You've now discovered why I like hills, rocks, and dry dusty trails over mud.

 

You never know what kind of problems may have been there before, or the mudding could have caused it.

This ^ I don't like putting a decent truck into a mud bog!
