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

I will admit I have experienced Over Speed Bump Goes Clank once or twice.

 

Sucks. At least you're not out too much.

 

quickest install ever, it's raining

 

Not much but did get some mail
Pro grills for the taco and 4r

 

Thanks for the info..

 

Nice! How much extra HP you get out of that?!

Super jelly of the Taco Pro Gill.

 

DANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I gotta look into that mod then and save a few bucks to buy it!

 

Added 5100s that I got from @Killbuzzjrad and greased my ujoints

 

Well, after much deliberation, my buddies and I decided the squeaking was coming from the leaf springs themselves and not the bushings. So I'm going to return those for now and just clean up the leaf springs like crazy this weekend.
All I want to do I put Bilsteins on my truck and raise it at least 1", 2" at the very most. I don't know exactly what I need for it though. There are kits but do they have everything? Will I need to do anything to the leafs (leaves?) also, am I able to just add a leaf as long as I get new shackles? Is it that easy? I greatly appreciate the help.

 

Throw on 5100s set at .85.

 

No extra power, but I'm told to expect at least another 3 mpg

 

Niiiiiiice

$$$$$$

 

Nice! that's literally all I need to do. Nothing to the leaf springs? I'm so apprehensive on this because I'm working on minimal budget; getting married is awesome, saving money for it sucks. I'm buying Bilsteins on ebay in the next couple weeks. Is there a huge difference between the 4600 and 5100 besides price?

 

Just installed 2 yakama frontloaders

 

Not sure. I'm not familiar with the 4600s and I'm on my phone so it's a pain to familiarize myself with then right now

 

You're good, I've confirmed with Toyota that the TRD and my regular SR5 package are compatible, I just don't want to waste my money on a shock that I'll want to replace in a year.

 

Will be tackling install of DC rr storage bins in RC this wknd..............

 

Just a friendly warning....the red and white painted areas will look fantastic until the day you look at it and discover the paint pieces have fallen out. When that happens just scuff up the inside and balance the piece evenly and pour some paint into the spaces and let it dry for a week. Also, the hardware attaching the part to the grill is made from mild steel and will rust. I sourced the correct size thread stainless steel bolt, used a spare piece of aluminum flat stock painted black with a couple appropriately spaced holes in it and used some stainless steel washers for the right spacing and reattached the TRD back to the grille. When I was done it looked as good as new. After another winter the other day I noticed the red paint had weathered the winter great but the white had chipped and I will need to clean out the white paint and reapply another batch this year. I consider myself still ahead of the game considering how little I paid for the part originally. YMMV.

 

Tackled the cmc today, only got burned once, hot piece went down my shoe.

Hope ChadsPride likes this lmao

 

Damn! One would think that for $5, including shipping from China, they could do better. Thanks
