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

Dang perfect! Got mine today and I have this setup!

 

Yeah man, it was really easy to do and inexpensive.
I can take some better pics/close up ones to show you how I put it all together.

 

Yeah!

 

Bike rack fits with spare tire!

7" extension ftw!

Threw in my AEM air filter, old one in the AEM box for use during cleanings.

 

The bolts attach to the bed rail like this:

I used a large washer and nut to keep the bolt perpendicular to the rail.

Then, I put another nut followed by a washer on both bolts, where the hi-lift will rest:


the washers that make contact with the jack probably are not necessary, but it makes for a more snug fit.


In retrospect, the 5 inch bolts is not necessary. 2 x 4 in bolts would work just fine

 

Thanks, I've been working to make sure I have a dependable vehicle in the event of emergencies where I can get to where I need to get and communicate when I need to communicate... makes even more sense now that we moved to Hurricane territory.
That is my CA 2X4SR, I simply used a glass mount and stuck it on the back of the cab instead of on the Glass.. it has proven to be very strong and reliable in that location and I already know from a previous unfortunate event that it will not hurt the paint even when the entire thing is ripped off.

 

I was about to say the same

 

Are you worried about passing VA State Inspection with those Retros installed?

 

Prepped for tomorrow to finish off my sound deadening project! Now i can start right away bright n early tomorrow. Now it's beer thirty! Have a great weekend everybody!

 

Not at all. There are a ton of mom and pop style inspection shops around here who will only fail you for MAJOR things.

 

Lift + Bigger Tires = Good MPG?? @Jack0928

Inspection and getting pulled over by a State Trooper are my only concerns to spending $800+.

 

You'll look like the NOVA Boogyman

 

Can I PM you to ask you about your install? I'm looking to put my radios in and I'm having a bit of a creative block concerning where to run my lines for everything...

 

You'l love the Caliraised lights and harness

 

It's always a risk I suppose. The cops around here ignore a whole lot of things and you really have to try to get their attention to get pulled over. Plus I won't be driving around with the halo eyes on or anything like that.

 

Perfection!
