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

The intake connects to the part where the factory filter thing is at or directly to the throttle body?

 

yes it connects to the factory filter thing

 

I win! I've been waiting since April 2015.

I messed up the drivers side a little and got a bit of a wrinkle I tried to fix. I will probably order a replacement, but will wait and see what a few days of baking in the sun does.

 

Planning on getting some 5100's, front and rear, does anyone have opinions on them? What setting is best for off-roading and street? Also what springs to pair them with.

 

Unfortunately, most shops use impacts. If it is a good shop, they have low torque setting so they finish it up with a torque wrench.

 

I'll keep it short and sweet. Set at 0 and OME 885s. I run them and love it.

 

Impacts have torque extensions that limit maximum for installation of lug nuts.

*Edit: they are called torque sticks

So this happened at Home Despot yesterday.

 

Lol, I've been waiting about 5 years.

 

The UPS man stopped by this morning! The dog got a treat, and I got a softopper, so we were both pleased! Went together pretty darn easy, I was taking my time(and drinking coffee/playing with the hound) and it took me about an hour and half. Still have some messing around to get that loose spot out of the top front corner, I'll take any advice you guys have to get rid of that, I'm sure it's a simple adjustment.

Used the velcro in the front of the bed, and some on the tailgate cap to secure the flaps. Now that I know how everything goes together I feel confident that I can take it completely off the truck in five minutes or so. Still need to apply the seam sealer they supply, but other than that I think I'm set. Oh, and I have to get used to kneeling down when getting in and out of the bed, I feel like that'll take some getting used to.

But as promised, here is a MGM truck with tan topper, I'm very pleased with how it looks. I'm kind of biased though, I've been drooling over the tan since I first saw one of these ten or twelve years ago on a first gen.

 

Same color I want to get!!

 

re-sprayed my grill to get rid of all the nasty rock chips(still have to do the emblem) and pre-drilled for the led's I'm going to install once I figure how/where I'm going to run wiring.


I think it turned out pretty well for a quick sand, wash and 2 coats.

let it begin .......I know I need to do the bumper next

 

I like this
Does it generates wind noise or is it not too bad ?

 

Unfortunately, most of the shops I've seen don't use anything like that. It's impact gun and lug wrench.

 

I think so! There is always members on here with questions or ideas they might not have posted. Plus it's a great way for others to check out mods they might be interested in for their own trucks.

 

That how Toyota do it at the factory...
so they were originals

 

looks great! Mine new softopper arrives in a few days. Got black for my silver truck. I thought about tan. Can't wait to get it on

 

I'm looking at getting one of these. Does the top snap into the railing on top of the bed rails? If so, are the railings difficult to remove? I ask because when the top is off, I'd rather not have the railing attached to the sides.
