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

None of these modifications were done today, but they have been completed over the past two weeks.
The first thing I did was plasti-dip my emblems, followed by installing a light bar. After the light bar I gained some courage and attempted the bhlm. That worked out great. And to keep with the black theme, I plasti-dipped my wheels( this is just a test run before I decide to powder coat them). So far I am pretty happy with the modifications I've made. I plan on installing an avid off-road bumper guard in the next couple of weeks.

 

That's cool. BTW sorry I wan't trying to sound like an ass it just seamed like a long time. I know Eric is busy and he's always had pretty long lead times

Most people put longer studs in the coil hats when they are gonna run spacers

 

The 885's will provide around 2.5" of lift on a stock weight 05-15 4wd 4dr so if you are at the top notch setting on the 5100's that will be comparable.

 

Working on PM now.

 

The girl knows here stuff!

 

Get your priorities and time management worked out slacker!! TW>ALL

 

hahaha I was thinking the exact same thing!
I was legit checking each post to see if it had been liked

 

Question about lift. I have two 5100s for the front and l was planning to set them @1.75. My question is if I wanted to go ahead and get a 3in lift all the way around without any rake what would I need? Thinking either Eibach or OME coils and maybe an AAL but aren't sure what size. Any help would be appreciated.

 

20% percent all the way around(over factory) and 5% across the top.

 

Depends on what you plan to do with it. If your going wheeling you may want to replace rear Springs if you just want level an add a leaf or set will get you there. If your adding new front coils there's no need to set your bilstein above 0. The coil provides the lift based on the spring rate you choose.

 

Don't do a whole lot of wheelin' honestly so I figure an AAL would be fine

 

so your rear end sits 2'' higher then the front. if you lift your front up 3'' and dont want any rake then u have to lift the rear 1''. the recommended rear lift option would be an AAL. if you plan on adding coils then you can set your billys at 0. check this out to figure out what coils you need for your set up and go from there

Perfect! Thanks alot

 

I hate my Method center caps!! Always falling off when storing them..

 

Recently broke the latch of my center console. Don't know how to fix it, because i lost the spring, haha.

 

Received my hood struts today.... bonus

 

Greased my U-joints today at 20,000

Also installed a little badge

 

Coincidentally a friend of mine has someone that can spray paint the cap for 125.00 I just have to prep it for him. I just bought the paint for it.

Who wants to buy four cans of

$15 dupli-Color BTY1619 7 perfect match automotive spray paint – toyota magnetic gray metallic, 1G3 – 8 oz. aerosol can

dupli-Color BTY1619 Magnetic Gray Metallic

 

That doesn't bother me as much as the fact that they stuck out to almost the lip of the wheel. And they're ugly as sin on top of that. I ordered those TRD caps from Amazon, unbolted the plastic piece from the metal, and they actually snapped in. Used the wire ring on the outside of the tabs to keep them from pulling back out. Works pretty well. I'll probably epoxy them when I get around to pulling the wheels off again to rotate them, but for now, they're just fine.

 

Love WV! Drive through Morgantown on the way to Teays Valley to visit my bro in law in Hurricane.

You're right. My bad. Should've known better.
