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

2005-2010 model year trucks with TRD OR or TRD Sport packages had the SR5 emblem on the tailgate. Took Toyota 5 years to realize this was confusing to customers.

 

Paid it off, yeah its a 2006 but I bought it about 4.5 years ago on a 5 year loan, couldn't resist 1.9% interest at the time, but paid it off early today, feels good.

 

It did not come with a bracket, just 5 bolts to mount it that I did not use.

I went to lowes and bought the following hardware for it though.

2 Packs of 6x40mm Bolts (138071)
2 Packs of 6mm Nylon Lock Nuts (138085)
7 - 1/4x3/8x3/4 Steel Spacers (137114)
14 - 1/4in Flat Washers (311726)
7 - 1-1/4 Fender Washers (15346)

I then mounted it like Awning - Bolt - Fender Washer - Spacer - Flat Washer - Prinsu Rack - Flat Washer - Lock Nut.

Total cost for all parts was $18.36 and I used 5 bolts, so had three left over.

 

What issues are you having? My driver side depo taillight is much dimmer than the passenger. I tried cleaning the connections but I think it's an issue down in the board. Going to email them tomorrow and see what they say.

 

Got the Bilstein 5100's installed today, as well as new KYB top hats and a 1/4 Toytec spacer on the driver's side. Set the 5100's at 1.75' with stock coils.

I have to say the ride is substantially improved over the stock shocks/struts (120k miles on them) and the Tacoma looks great. It feels more stable and compact, if that makes sense. I'll get some front and rear leveling measurements and follow up, but it appears as if an AAL is in my not so distant future.

Easy install.....2.5 hours with difficulties getting the top bolt off of a strut. We ended up just cutting it off. That was super manly with sparks flying and stuff.

I also added to the expedition/camping/survival/zombie apocalypse gear. Pic to come once I get my new sling pack!

Shout out to the forum for the research content and direction! I'm of the opinion that this mod, albeit basic, is an absolute must for all 2nd gens!

 

Don't drive it like a sports car and you'll be fine.

 

Also, don't do high speed evasive maneuvers to avoid an accident. You can totally plan for those, right?

 

Save the bumper cover and see if you can use the top couple inches of it to fill the gap between the grill/lights and Pelfreybilt bumper, if the gap bothers you when you get one (gaps not bad, I just wish i'd saved mine to try to give it a more finished look).

 

Rolled over to 60,000 today. I even stopped to take the pic.

 

Finished up my drawer for under the sleeping platform!

 

So cool!! I want to build one

 

What size net did you go with? I've been looking for one for my shell.

 

Thanks! I may have to tweak a bit after some test runs but I am pretty happy with it over all.

 

1.9%......fuck you guys are lucky

 

Lol

 

Put a tent on it.

 

Changed my wheels, washed it and took it to a Tractor/car show with my kids

 

My nephew is the same way but damn is he smart as hell! All honors & just started @ peen state last month

 

Installed my Redline Hood Struts. Love them, probably one of my favorite bang-for-buck mods.
