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

Where is the dislike button?

That sucks man! If there is much damage to the roof and A pillars, it will likely be a total loss. Those areas can't be repaired and have to be replaced because it can compromise the structural integrity of the cab. Which most insurance companies won't mess with and just write them off to use for parts for other claims!

My sister was t boned a while ago in a van and it rolled onto its side. While there was a significant amount of damage else where, the adjuster immediately keyed in on a six inch crease in the roof edge above the drivers side rear door and immediately told my sister it was totalled. He spent very little time evaluating the rest of the damage because he said they would not mess with a repair of the roof where it was damaged because of a potential comprise of structural integrity.

 

Gotcha. The Taco has a slight lean to the drivers side (1/4"). So by adding the 1/4" spacer to the driver side suspension, this fixes that slight lean.

 

Is it 1 light bar or 3?
That's what I'm thinking of doing as well.

 

Dislike button was original thought!

Mine doesn't @ stock or @ least that I know of so is this a lift thing? I keep hearing bout this brolean but haven't experienced it

 

Not sure how extensive the damage is but it looks bad to me. There is definitely damage at the edge of the roof over the passenger door and center of the windshield. The hood is toast along with the driver side fender and the driver side headlight mounts are probably broken.

 

Measure from the center of the hub to the fender edge at each wheel and you'll probably find it. It isn't a lot so it isn't super noticeable just looking at the truck.

 

Yeah, came from the Woodlands, north of Houston to here...
Good side, no love bug season!

 

How much for the avid?

 

Pit stops in Mexico...

 

That would definitely ruin your day; sorry that it happened to you. The next thing I would buy for the truck would be a chainsaw to get rid of any other potential damage makers you have near the driveway.

Thanks! I realized in my excitement to finally complete a project that I forgot to add a few details. The wheels are 17" Toyota FJ wheels bought from another member. I had them powder coated satin black. Center caps also satin (rattle can). I will put them on and take another pic after swapping out lugs...the oem lugs are not in very good shape. I will keep with chrome color scheme however as I think the look actually works. Tires are Nitto Terra Grappler 265/70/17 on sale a few months back on ebay. No lift; no spacers.

 

Went up to the mountains to see some fresh powder.

 

They run $325 brand new bare metal not even including shipping. Put 40 bucks of bedliner on it so it would never scratch up, and the 3 light tabs. Even with Tacomaworlds discount it was tough on the wallet.

 

Extra or nova gas?
No-va means won't go in Spanish, right?
We are all jealous I think.

 

Wanted to try for 280$. With what i got into it its a plenty fair price. When im back on my home computer im just gonna make a Thread in the buy sell section.

 

Does a lift increase it?

 

Have him teach you how to do it, then get a solder gun for your next projects

 

Truth... Amen!

 

Your factory suspension is set up with a longer (& possibly stiffer) coil on the driver side compared to the passenger side to combat Taco lean (which is different than Bro Lean). I'm not sure, but I think the rear leaf springs are side specific as well.

When you remove the factory suspension, to install a lift, you lose the factory side specific components and need to install spacers on the driver side to try and keep it level.
