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

I've seen it before, pretty cool. Pricey though

 

Bro...early bird deal is only $161 U.S. dollars shipped. Comes with a mounting bracket as well. MAXTRAX are around $300 and the plastic studs wear down from tire spin. Just wanted to get the word out there for the guys who may or maynot have seen them while the offer lasts. Kickstarter ends 10 Dec.... The video is worth watching...

 

No wonder they did the clear out of their old product

 

Ok, opinions here ( o god here we go)
Bought some wheels I really like, test fitted them today and they have too much back space for the tires I want to put on. I daily drive my truck, and off road on the weekends. Like medium serious off road. Not rock crawl, but I hit my sliders all the time, and bent my IFS skid (1/4" steel)

So, question is.. Do I use spacers? Will I break them? Or do I just sell the wheels and go another route.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What you said...

 

Yeah figured that will be the most common reply.
Looks like u r I. Beautiful Hawaii! Used to live on Kauai, had a 1956 2 stroke Samurai. 40 mph max speed, but... Where ya gonna go?

 

Man , you just made me miss my truck . Bought new in 02 , drove it 12 years. Looked just like yours .

 

Took it for a little drive with my brother.

 

Like the rack, what make and model is it?

 

The wheel is marketed for the FJ120 (4Runner/Prado/GX470) in Japan. You can find them through various eBay listings such as http://www.ebay.com/itm/231745774104

Installation is not plug-and-play, however, as the tongue-and-groove engagement features between the steering wheel hub and spiral cable are different between the Japanese-built and US-built vehicles. I had to sand away those engagement features on both the new wheel and the Taco's spiral cable to get them to fit. I will monitor for air bag or VSC lights for a week. If no issues, I will post a how-to thread.

 

What's the reason for doing this? Do you want a different MC piston dia.? Rear disc conversion?

 

The rack is just a Yakima Q tower setup with a fairing. The 90 degree uprights are for my canoe - the topper is set up for yakima bars too (they're removable).

 

Well after my ride today did some poser pics lol I did wanna stuff the tires to ck clearance. Then another rider came along and I felt like a dork haha.

 

Removed the bed side decals!!
BeforeAnd after
I felt like the off road decals didn't go along with the trd emblem on the tailgate

 

Hey awesome, thanks. Are they specific to the Tacoma for mounts? Wanna put a single bar on the forward part of my access cab. I have the mounts on my topper already.

 

Not today, but got it done yesterday. Switched out to the bronze TRD beadlocks.

 

Now this is a super rare taco
I like

 

did you notice a HP change when you installed your ACCEL coils?

 

Rear disc conversion left me unhappy with the brakes, as I expected from what others had said about it, but I couldn't resist.

 

Not really...felt better to me, but I had just rebuilt the engine after several months of downtime.
