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

Rock got in my way. Had to go over it:

 

Finally got around to hooking up some lights but didn't want to rip apart the dash to get to the center blanks for new switches, so did this instead...

 

Stealth... Me likey!!!!!!! What did you hook up, if you don't mind me asking?

 

The ditch lights. I installed them before I went on vacation but never got a chance to run power. I plan on putting the switch for the rear lights in the came compartment as it's not something I even use and it's a clean job.

 

Cool. Nice job sir!

 

Excellent I will check out your website! Out of curiosity, are there multiple different options involving the 5100 lift? I know that 5100's are required for all four corners, and typically an AAL is put in the rear, but are new front coils required as well in order to achieve the desired 2.5" to 3" lift?

 

Here goes...Still waiting on the fogs to arrive.

 

Of course! Thank you.

 

You can use your stock coils on the 5100s just set them on a higher notch to receive more lift. However I highly recommend the OME coils with the 5100s on 0.

 

I painted it several days after I picked it up. I was quoted at the canopy dealer $2657 out the door for this top paint matched and installed. That was a bit much. Found on Craigslist the exact top with all the options I wanted less than a year old, $1000 (paid $950). $450 for paint.

I first removed all the windows. Then I removed all the stickers and rear weather stripping and ordered new ones from Leer. Had the Inferno sanded down thoroughly and added primer, few coats of and color and clear. A body shop who are friends did the sanding and spraying. We let the top rest for a week before putting it back on.

Mine stays on all the time.

 

Ordered this today. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/front-rail-tie-down-wheel-chock-system.483012/

 

nooooooooooooo

 

Added protection! Textured tape from 3M.

 

Not necessarily. You can use your stock springs with the 5100's and preload them by adjusting the snap ring up to the highest setting which will provide around 2.5" of lift on a 05-15 4dr 4wd. I do have many customers who have gone this route at first but later changed to lift coils and put the Bilsteins back down to the 0 (stock) setting. Some people feel like the ride quality from the stock spring set at the highest setting is less then desirable.

 

OUCH man. So sorry for your loss.

 

I'm one of those guys

Which coils do I need to get to stay at current height? I know there are multiple options. (No bumper or armor) Only steps And Lights, Not Much Added Weight

 

You'll want 885's at least and possibly even 887's.

 

885s will net you ~2.5" of lift and you can run stock UCAs. 887s will get you ~3" of lift and you're much more likely to need aftermarket UCAs.

 

This weekend I put in a new radio, ran a 2nd backup camera for the hell of it. Aimed my off road lights and tinted my front windows

 

Post lift alignment....
