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

Question: My buddy has a 2012 with a 6" and says he has bad axel wrap and can't pull anything because of it. with a 3" on my truck (spacer in front and AAL's in the back) will I have this problem? I do a lot of hauling and do not wanna jeopardize my trucks capability of doing so.

 

No, you'll be fine. More than likely your buddy has large blocks in the rear which exacerbates axle wrap. If you're doing an AAL, you'll be alright.

 

Paid Six Months of Tacoma Insurance, and stopped by The Toyota Parts Desk and picked up a New Air Filter and PCV Valve that will be installed along with new Plugs Soon. Also ordered AJT key Fob.

 

Heck yea!! Wonder if anyone else from WCU is on here because there are a few nice trucks on campus! I always awkwardly walk by them and try to look at their suspensions

 

thanks, thats what i wanted to hear. and yes he has big blocks in the back.

 

If he wants to get rid of that axle wrap, tell him to get a new leaf pack in the back that'll lift him that same amount. I only say new leaf pack because I'm assuming he's got 3-4" blocks in the rear and an AAL won't lift that much.

 

Haha man i'm glad i aint the only one that does that. Mines in the softball lot, aint much to see though. just a 2" spacer upfront and sumo springs in the rear, that'll change soon though.

 

I hear ya. Mines mainly stock for now.... End of summer it will be on fresh suspension, methods, and BFGs.
Im a commuter from rabbit ridge so you'll see me driving around a god bit probably.

 

Today I arranged to have Toyota install a new set of leaf springs this Thursday. The free replacement is greatly appreciated.
Kudos to Kalispell Toyota for extraordinarily good customer service. I have never, ever had a service dept work this well for me.
So, while I was on a roll, I also arranged to have them do the ball-peen-hammer-to-the-corroded-frame inspection while it's there.

 

There are two screws, a lower one (vertical) and the upper one that many times have a white or black plastic cover, that is the horizontal. Mind you, they don't go straight up and down, when you lower the vertical, it will move a bit horizontal, thus needing to adjust both.

 

Unfortunately I think @spiralout462 and I are the only two on this site within about a 70 mile radius. 2 hour drive south to VA beach, three hour drive North to the Nova/DC area.

 

Not sure what part you're coming to, but hope to see you around! Here's a good preview of your drive haha

 

i know exactly how that feels...hahahaha. you save a little here and save a little there for mods.


Did this today during my lunch break.

Needed something to spruce up the interior

 

New tires arrived!

 

Oh man. There's no way those are gonna fit.

 

My longest prybar and both feet were not enough to remove my CV. That's what I did today.

 

Stubby antenna install.
