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

Whoa makes that sweet bumper?

 

I just ditched my 5100/885 combo in favor of an Icon/King setup. 5100/885 without front end weight was stiff and sometimes harsh. With front end weight - granted its 200+ in bumper/winch, plus sliders...- it sagged quite a bit but rode OK (not great). Set at 0. Ride is very subjective to personal tastes though. It's not a bad setup and its way cheaper than going rebuildable.

 

Wheeler's SuperBumps! Did first one without jacking and man was it a pain in the ass. Lesson learnt.

 

it's actually a one-off. I bough the truck used with it on so I'm not sure who did the fab work.

 

Yep, so railings sit on the bedsides, and have a mount that tightens them down secured to the cargo strip, so loosen four bolts and those rails come right off. The top snaps onto those rails for the sides, then the front flap can either be velro or you can screw snaps into your bed, then a pole across the back snaps into the side rails, and some velcro on the tailgate cap to keep the bottom from flapping around.

Whole thing is connected by one main pivot on each side, which once you've undone the snaps only takes one more minute to take the top completely off the rails.

If that's confusing, I apologize, but it really is quite simple, and after you do it once it is a very quick process. If you have any other questions, or want more pictures, just ask. When I was researching it took a long time to find pictures that answered certain questions I had about how everything worked

 

These all went on this morning! Next step is either my front bumper/headlights or my Icon suspension... When I have the money anyway!

Edit: found the ACTUAL tail lights I had put on.

 

Got the swing out tire carrier and very pleased. plus you cant fit a 35 under without some cutting so, i like it.

 

Would have done that, but I'm not up to 35's yet. (Barely at 32's with my 265/75r16's on!) Plus, I don't do enough off roading yet to merit the tire carrier and add clearance. Can always add it later though

 

Went by & picked up tailgate skin a from @Mobtown Offroad today after work & got it put on in literally 2-3min. Gonna eventually put bed coating on it.

 

You did all the threaded inserts and installed the reinforcement plate in 3 mins? Are you one of these guys in the picture?

 

Yeah I'm on the left! Being that I don't put a lot weight on it all the time I did not. Just got it just cuz I don't trust plastic that Liner inside. Just a lil added protection.

 

Doubtful. Installing rivnuts blows.

 

@LiveFreeOrDie2015. I'm actually thinking bout putting the plastic liner on top so that it covers & gives a lil hidden protection.

 

That it does! When I did mine I used slow set JB weld just to make sure they don't spin with the bolt if I ever need to remove the plate. ( Did pop a lock same time) I also reused plastic factory cover to add a little more strength. Fucking think is about 50lbs now but I don't think twice getting my fat ass on it.

 

That's what I did you just need to trim 1/4 in off the rubber stops first or you'll hate yourself next time you try to open it.

 

@LiveFreeOrDie2015 you talked me into it. Haha putting cover back on too haha

 

Are you the guy in the white who just watches them work or you one of the workers? I had to ask. LOL

 

What rubber stops?

 

It may not be 1/4 in to trim but I know I had to trim it 3 times to get it right

 

Do you use the extra hardware? Mine closes fine not problems
