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

Installed 2106 take offs last Friday and today Timbren rear bump stops,

 

How you like the Timbrens so far? Looks like you are stock suspension, so any notable loss of uptravel?

 

Stock suspension with Bilstein 5100, a quick spin this afternoon - seems to be quieter and not noticeable loss of up travel.

 

Wheels look good too, btw. Pretty cool as there aren't many 2-tone factory wheels. Most aftermarket ones look silly to me, but those are pretty darn sweet.

 

Thanks ! There is a thread on 3rd gen wheels on 2nd gen - that's were I got the idea. They work well with MGM.

 

Installed color matched mirrors (@whopper ) and color matched door handles (Micah @SparksParts ). Still need to ditch the rear chrome bumper and hold out for a BSP color matched honeycomb grille.

 

Am I the only one who experiences the truck bottoming out when I've got a few pounds in the bed?

 

Thats how the whole Leaf Spring TSB thing came about...

 

Finally got some floor liners.

883

 

Ah, the little fellers. Got 5100's bumped up or just using for leveling?

 

Leveling

 

I've had 30k miles on 5100/885 combo. The Billys are on the stiff side, will probably be more enjoyable with that 883 than if you had gone with a higher spring rate.

 

Thats what i hear....i'm going coilover with resi when i do the 3" down the road

 

Threw these in as my reverse lights. WAY better than stock and what I had in there. Had done the 886 fog mod, but they got so hot in there. These LEDs are way better

 

Yeah that sounds like a better setup if you have ANY extra weight. I got a plate bumper, winch, and sliders, and while I had 2.5" still up front with a 3/8" spacer for a couple months, I'm down much closer to stock now (guessing 1.5" lift but no measurements) from sagging. I plan on adding a HC rear and full skids as well this year. Hence the 700lb springs and coilovers.

 

How's your backup camera view? I swapped to a halogen reverse light and my camera is nearly washed out at night

 

You no linkski

 

I'm thinking an aluminum plate pelfrey with full hoops and a winch would put me back at stock. Which is fine. Then it'll push me to lift it sooner
