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

That head light tho

 

It's been a productive weekend. Installed my fridge with slide, onboard air compressor, and ghetto rigged some maxtrax mounts.

Tested the capacity of the Indel-B TB51A refrigerator/freezer and fit 60 cans and 6 bottles with a little room to spare.

 

But our grills are actually coated in metal lol a very thin layer

 

Not sure if this is the appropriate place for this post but since there are a lot of experienced knowledgeable owners on here i thought id give it a go. I have a 2012 Access Cab V6. Two broken leafs on the drivers side. I don't really want to put in a lift but so far the only stock height springs i can seem to find on a conservative budget are the Dorman leafs. These appear to be modeled after the '05-'11 leafs (3 leaf pack) that failed. I have not been able to pin down an exact reason for the failure other than stress and corrosion. I'm afraid that if it was a design error, even though these are not Toyota parts, they may find the same fate. Here's the kicker, my inspections is up at the end of the month so i don't have a lot of time to figure this one out.

 

OEM Leafs?

 

Are 2012's part of the leaf spring recall? That would take care of the problem and not cost you a thing.

 

Dealer wants an both arms a leg for those. ive tried to hook up with members doing an upgrade but havent been successful salvaging the parts do to have to cut them off

the 2012 is outside the recall as they changed to the 4 leaf pack as standard

 

Yeah thats where I was going with it...didn't know if yours were a part of the recall.

 

Hmmm.... That's interesting. I had my original springs replaced under the TSB, and then they replaced the 4 leaf TSB springs under the recall.

 

Can I get some info on those bad boys?

 

Sure can.

I have a vendor from here make them.
Search this site for @RECHELON @ambiguous or @RAD and hit them up for inquiry.

.. I'm just guessing by the looks

 

AH. A little advertising. Gotcha. Thank you sir.

 

Awesome thanks! Will be trying to get some new headlights for my 06 here in a few weeks and those look nice.

 

Thanks!
I highly recommend them. Not only do they look good, the light output is incredible as well.

Ok I'm an idiot but for a split second I was thinking the bucket was holding that up, not seeing the jack at first.
