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

My early years weren't much different just replace "Army Artillery, dirt bikes" with Air Force jets and guns. If you ever decide to get hearing aids to help with the hearing loss. The way HA's amplify sounds like the wine of MT tires can be very annoying. But for one set of Discovery MT's that didn't last for shit. I've always had BFG AT tires, and I've never really been in a spot with them where I told myself "I should have gotten MT's"... If my truck use was 95% mudding/camping I'd go with MT's and turn off my HA's for the 5% of the time I was on-road. As my truck use is the opposite with 95% of my use on-road DD use, I'll stick with AT's and keep my KM2's on standby. The swap takes me all of 30min to complete. Of course, I didn't plan on having two sets of tires either, I just happened to find a great deal that got me 5 nearly new KM2's w/rims and if BFG would make the K02's in 255/85/16E I'd go back to having just one set of tires.

FYI - If you have hearing loss listed as a service connection with the VA you can get hearing aids for free! If you don't, go file for it, "Army Artillery" should make it an easy to service connection to make.

 

+1 to that. You can get 10% for tinitus, but no compensation for hearing loss... but you can get hearing aids. I did.

 

Post up some output and cut off line shots when you get them installed!

 

Got my Bilstein 5100 installed. The ride is comfy and the truck looks great imho. Now to save up for the KO2s

 

I have one. Works great.

 

Installed wheel bearing/hub assemblies from nj636. Back to smooth and quiet.

 

Westin grill guard and black spray paint on the radiator. Thanks to Cativelense for the paint recommendation




Next weekend will be the remote start if I get it in time!

 

Got my SOS Concepts rear bumper installed... finally. This thing has been sitting in my garage painted for a few months now. Still need to hook up my flush mounts.

 

Sumo Springs and Rear Dif breather relocation.

Bought the sumo springs to prep for when I move later this year. Grabbed the black in color heavier weight ones. While it doesn't sag much since I put the AALs in, load carrying still needs some work. That and if I move somewhere I can drive to, I'll pull a trailer this time. Side note that even with 8+ year old AALs and the original non TSB springs, there is still a 1.5ish inch gap. The Toytec AALs have held up pretty well.

Did the rear dif relocation as I'm trying to prevent the rear axle seal from leaking again. Got it repaired at the dealer about six months ago and it started again for awhile and then stopped again.. Figured relocating it to behind the tail lights would keep the Methville USA road salt from eating it any more. Used all the 5/16" parts from one of the DIY threads. Less than $10 for the hose, union, and breather. Already had the hose clamps.

 

Thats nice and non flashy looking. I like the subdued, not covered in brand names or gadgets look. Any idea if it works with the OEM receiver hitch from the tow package?

 

K I'll look into it when I get home from work

 

4 popper takes 6.1qt. Lol

 

Installed 2 9inch auxbeam flood lights

 

Part one of the US Offroad bumper install today. Got almost everything done, though looks like I might have to loosen things back up once last time to see if I can get it positioned up just a tad bit more.

ENGO 10k winch, sirius flood beam led pods.

 

The correct amount of oil with a filter change in the V6 is 5.5 quarts.

 

Works great. I got the PL 8540 codeable one. It codes to your ignition key and connects to the door lock so your key fob can unlock it too. Took about two hours as I took my time insuring the wiring followed the backup camera routing.

Seat heaters installed last week!
