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

1000% Our potholes have potholes in them

 

after years of dealing with vibes i can say i am vibe free. took a cb flip and a shim to solve my issues. no more take off shutter, no more 50/60 mph vibe.

 

This was something simple and didn't cost a lot, but made such a difference - got the front windows tinted. I should have done it sooner. I did upgrade to a "ceramic" tint which is suppose to block some of the heat from coming in during direct sunlight.

 

i

get shimming the rear but what is a cb flip

 

Carrier bearing flip. Helps fix the angle of the driveshaft.

 

He meant carrier bearing drop. Adds washers/spacers to carrier bearing mounts to reduce driveline angle, thus hopefully eliminating a source of vibes.

 

if you rotate the carrier bearing 180 - you actually raise the shafts. I have always tried to solve it with adding spacers to try to remedy the vibes but the vibes just moved to different speeds. Flipped it and.....gone

 

Damn didnt know that was a thing. Spacers took care of it for me.

 

ok i had my head up my ass i'm getting ready to order the cb spacers from toytec

 

naw, most likely you can get away with a shim for the rear axle and if you need spacers for the cb you can pick some up at a hardware store like I did. No need to spend more on a toytec spacer

 

So the the flip raises the axles, and a cb drop lowers them? Basically just trial and error as to which works for you I guess?

 

i was just going to fab up some 1/4" spacers idk their kit is only like $12

 

pretty much.....i wasnt really proactive in solving it. Just took my sweet time over the years

 

Me neither lol, I've been dealing with the slight shudder on take of for months now. Not super high on my priority list

 

Or take a bolt to home depot and match it up to a longer one grade 8 and some washers

 

or that to

 

Had a wicked vibe when moving at any speed. Turns out my front and rear u joints were fucked. Replaced them and it rides smooth once again

 

Picked up my truck from getting my tsb leaf springs then went home and installed icon aal and fox 2.0 shocks

 

Finally got the ARB fog lamps installed. This whole job thing is seriously cutting into my MOD time (again)!

 

Cut a dead bat out of the grill while filling up. Who knows how long it was there, haha.
