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

A few other things I've added recently - Avid Off Road Bumper Guard, Bullet Proof Fabricating skid plate w/tow hook & shackle & Aero 2525XL muffler with chrome exhaust tip. Also installed a URD mass airflow sensor calibrator but no pics & haven't had a chance to try any tuning yet...

 

Thanks man!

 

You dont have to use clay bar lube, you can use quick detailer or car wash soap and water instead. Much cheaper. Hell even Dawn and water will work.

My personal preference is Optimum No Rinse and water.

 

My new totally awesome build thread is in my sig!

 

Cut a grommet to hold my shifter boot down. Happy to have the chrome ring mostly covered up

 

There's a way to remove the chrome ring and turn the top part inside out and secure from the inside. Looks real clean and what I'm gonna do once my new knob comes in.

 

The OEM Sport headlights don't have the yellow.

They also have the smoked bezel inside similar to the 2015 TRD Pro.

 

Didn't really do anything, but Raya looks so good, just thought I'd put up a picture of her.

 

I just replaced these exact same wheels last week, they only had 7,160 miles on them.

 

Over the weekend Installed the Bilstein 5100, OME 885 coil springs, SPC UCA, Head strong Offroad AAL in the rear. The rear went smooth aside from having to grind off the top bolt for the shock due to New England winter salt. When I tried to remove the front sway bar end link from the spindle on the driver side I stripped out the Allen you use to hold it while you loosen the nut. I got the nut back on somewhat but I will have to grind it off and replace the sway bar end link (already ordered). I think/HOPE that is what is rattling in my front end. The passenger side UCA bolt had to be put back in opposite due to the interference of the wheel well.

I forgot to add the 1/4 spacers for the driver's side lean. I'll put it in when I take my spindles off for the gussets to be welded on.

I bent a tab out on the driver's side adjuster on the LCA when I didn't move the cams out of the way correctly, I was able to tap back in place and I don't think it's any worse for wear.



No pictures during the install taken because I was covered in a mixture of grease, rust and dirt. The picture here is the after shot. Alignment shop was closed on Mondays so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out the alignment numbers.

-Stock lift with 16 rim 245 tires measurement; LF 33 5/8, RF 33 3/4, LR 36 1/8, RR 36 1/4

-Bilstein lift with 17 rim 265/70/17 tire measurements; LF 38 1/2, RF 39, LR 39 1/4, RR 39 3/4.

 

changed out wheels and tires. 305/70r16s w/ -19offset (I know, I couldn't find -12).


After


before (stock wheels on 275/70r17 BFG ATs)

 

Thinking about retrofitting my headlights... any tips on where to start? I prefer not to possibly ruin my stock headlight since this is my first time.

 

Saturday afternoon.

 

I saw some people on here had done that before. Should have done that instead of the grommet. Do you know of a thread that shows how this was done?

 

No, I can't remember where I saw it. I'm going to do it Saturday when my shift knob gets in, so sub to my build thread because I'll post it in there.

 

Talk to @TRSAndrew and he'll guide you down the right path. He works for TRS (the retrofit source).
