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

Softtopper's are pretty damn awesome!

 

Ok as I posted everything went smooth.....until this morning. I didn't get to drive it much yesterday after I finished, just around the block. Well today I drove it further and got up some decent speeds, as I accelerate and decelerate to around 15-20mph I'm getting what sounds like a rattle more than a vibration. Almost like what it would sound like if a bolt was loose in the factory skid plate or if the dust shroud behind the hub assembly was loose. It's less of a vibration and more of a high pitched rattle. I don't feel it in the steering wheel or floor pan, just hear it. I checked all my bolts on everything I touched yesterday and on the skid plates. Everything is tight. I removed my diff drop spacers (based on they are worthless and more harm than good), but left my carrier bearing spacers. Any thoughts? Does this sound like one of the infamous "driveline vibes" or something different? I know it's hard to diagnose based on a post without actually hearing it, just wondering if anyone has a similar experience?

 

I have had harmonic noises caused by vibrations before. Check your heat shields and stuff like that. Also check your drive shaft angles. The CB drop may be to big/short, also angle at rear diff could be off. Even .5 of a degree could have a very faint effect. Just my 2 cents. Editing cause I realize it didn't represent my total train of thought. Which is that there was another on going issue that may have gone unnoticed do to the others.

 

Glad you moved your Toyota before the wrecker got there to pickup the Ford!!

 

I was sent a link last week and they are on the way Thanks everyone who responded.

 

2016 TSS wheels/tires

 

Sure are Brother!!
Put mine on yesterday....

 

I found this from another member here if haven't tried it out yet, he said it works like wax for the plastidip. pretty cool though. I was going to get some and try if out.

 

Free? Sounds better than $1000. Grab it even if it needs some TLC like a bulb seal around the bottom or new gas struts. Leaks typically occur at the front where the Tacoma bed has a step up from the front to the sides. Extra seal tape across there should do the trick.

 

Amen

 

Made DIY High Lift Jack mounts using parts of the factory tie down knobs and a few parts from Lowes. Less than 15 bucks.

 

the cleaner wax worked really good was easy and protected it. here are pics idk if you'll be able to see a difference in the pics or not before n after

 

I used to remove the seats from one of my cars to vacuum lol. I was just worried of the possibility of unplugging something under the seat could set off the airbags. (I only have the 2 up front)

 

Love it!!!!

 

It matters to me because you were the one that convinced me to dip my grill surround (and recommended the glossifier)! Thats good to know i can keep it looking good that easily!

 

Nope! Not a possibility. I've unplugged mine probably 10 times now.

 

Nice I got same rims with 265/70R16 on michelin defenders.

 

Whats up? im from Warrenton, you? we need to wheel sometime

 

how's it holding up mine is fine other than it had gotten dingy looking and there were streaks in the bumper but that mothers cleaner wax cleaned it rt up
